Conduct a stress-free migration from an old platform
Migrating an old eCommerce platform to a headless architecture can be a complex and demanding process. It requires a thorough pre-implementation analysis and migration strategy preparation. To do this, we must understand the challenges associated with migration and be aware of several potential obstacles to consider:
Data Migration
One of the biggest challenges in eCommerce migration is data migration. We must ensure that all customer data, order history, product information, and other critical information are seamlessly transferred to the new platform.
Integrations and custom functionalities
Many companies use custom functionalities and integrations. Migrating to a new platform will usually require a re-implementation of these elements, which can be time-consuming and costly. We need to take this into account during the pre-implementation analysis.
Downtime
During the migration process, downtime may be necessary on the old platform, which can affect sales and revenue. It is important to minimize downtime and ensure that the website will operate practically without interruption.
SEO
eCommerce migration can have a significant impact on search engine rankings. We need to plan the migration in such a way as to maintain SEO rankings and traffic during the migration process.
User experience
Customers expect smooth shopping experiences, and any disruptions during the migration process or a completely different architecture can affect their impressions. It is crucial for the new platform to be user-friendly and provide customers with excellent shopping experiences without requiring them to relearn how to use the store.
Team training
Migrating to a new headless platform will require training your team to understand the new solution and be able to operate it without difficulty.
