This week saw a significant surge in data movement across various platform shifts, highlighting the team's capability to handle both massive-scale projects and highly intricate technical customizations. We successfully completed or processed over 1.2 million entities in a single large-scale migration and deployed custom solutions to solve complex attribute mapping and historical data preservation challenges.

Record-Breaking Volumes and Platform Triumphs

Our migration pipelines remained robust, culminating in the processing of approximately 189,400 entities across all successful migrations this period. A major highlight was the progression of a massive project involving over 1,224,200 entities moving from Magento to WooCommerce. This project alone underscores our capacity for handling enterprise-level data volume.

We observed continued high demand for platform upgrades, particularly those targeting Shopify. The migration pair of WooCommerce to Shopify dominated the migration flow, closely followed by successful, high-volume PrestaShop to Shopify transfers, including one large spa parts retailer moving over 44,900 entities.

Key Migration Achievements:

  • A substantial PrestaShop to Shopify migration delivered over 71,800 entities successfully, transitioning a major parts supplier.
  • The popularity of Shopify continued, with a retailer moving approximately 37,300 entities during a major WIX to Shopify shift.
  • We observed a robust set of self-migrations, particularly in BigCommerce to Shopify and internal Magento upgrades, demonstrating client trust in our automated process.

Customization Corner: Engineering Solutions

The technical support team resolved several high-complexity tasks, ensuring data integrity where standard migration logic was insufficient. Our engineers tackled deep-level data transformation requests, proving that no customization is too challenging.

Notable Technical Resolutions:

  • Volusion Store Credit Conversion: We successfully configured custom logic for a recent data migration, converting legacy Volusion Rewards Points directly into Shopify Customer Store Credit balances on a 1:1 basis, ensuring customer loyalty data was preserved.
  • NopCommerce Customer Role Mapping: Resolved an issue requiring custom logic to export all clients (including guests) from NopCommerce and map their specific roles as tags within Shopify, a critical requirement for a B2B retailer.
  • Complex Product Attribute Mapping (WooCommerce to Wix): Delivered a custom solution to ensure standard WooCommerce product attributes were correctly interpreted and migrated as functional product options in the target Wix store.
  • Image and Price Integrity Fixes (Xtcommerce): Fixed critical errors for a client where products were migrating with incorrect image sizes (100x100px), missing secondary images, and displaying net pricing instead of inclusive of VAT, requiring multi-point custom script adjustments.
  • SEO Redirect Implementation (Wix to Shopify): Implemented a full migration with custom logic to clear existing blogs and posts on the target platform and create new ones with correct SEO URLs/slugs and corresponding 301 redirects, vital for search rankings.
