Chudovo migrates Magento 1 stores to Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce, including data, custom functionality, and integrations. Magento 1 has had no security patches since June 2020, which makes this the most urgent migration scenario for stores still running it.
Chudovo upgrades outdated Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce installations to a currently supported release, addressing the custom code and modules that usually block a straightforward upgrade.
Chudovo migrates heavily customised Magento stores, where large extension estates, custom checkout logic, and multiple integrations carry most of the risk.
Chudovo takes over migrations that have stalled or launched with broken functionality, data issues, or SEO damage, and defines a plan to stabilise and complete them.
Commerce Data Migration
Chudovo migrates the store's critical retail and e-commerce data and reconciles it against the source system before cutover.
Extensions & Custom Code
Chudovo audits the existing Magento extensions and custom modules to rebuild each of them for the new platform.
Storefront and Checkout
Chudovo rebuilds the storefront and customer accounts, including the checkout experience, for the target platform.
Third-Party Integrations
Chudovo rebuilds the store's business-system integrations against the target platform's architecture.
SEO Migration
Chudovo plans the store's SEO migration, including URL structure and redirects, as part of the project.
Cutover and Data Synchronization
Chudovo rehearses the cutover with trial migrations, then synchronises and validates the live data, with a rollback plan in place.
Chudovo monitors and tunes the store’s performance in the weeks after release, resolving any issues that arise.
The right path depends on the current version, the value of the existing custom code, and whether Magento still fits the operating model, not on a single characteristic such as region or business model.
| Factoring | Upgrade | Modernization | Replatforming |
| Current version | 2.4.4–2.4.6, within reach of a supported release | Older or heavily patched, but the core fits the business | Magento 1, or Magento 2 no longer fits the operating model |
| Custom code and modules | Manageable, mostly supported | Significant, but valuable and worth preserving | Extensive rebuild already needed regardless of platform |
| Reason to consider | Lowest disruption, fastest path to a supported version | Keep proven business logic, remove technical debt | Business model, cost structure, or team capability has changed |
Chudovo audits the current implementation and recommends a target architecture, scope, and timeline.
Discovery
Chudovo documents the detailed technical requirements, integration behaviour, and business logic needed to build against the agreed architecture.
Build
Chudovo develops the business logic and integrations, and prepares the data for migration, against the target platform.
Dry Migration
Chudovo runs a full trial migration to validate the data, mappings, and integrations before the live cutover.
Cutover
Chudovo will carry out the migration and cutover based on the rehearsed plan and an agreed rollback option.
Hypercare
Chudovo will perform post-launch monitoring of the live store and its performance in the first couple of weeks.
Crawl and inventory existing URLs
Map old URLs to new destinations
Implement permanent (301/308) redirects
Preserve canonical and hreflang references
Update internal links
Resubmit the XML sitemap
Monitor the move through Search Console
The average schedule for a mid-level migration is about 4 to 8+ weeks. The schedule will depend on custom features, integration, data quality, storefront needs, and target architecture.
The costs associated with migration differ greatly based on custom features, integration, amount of data, data quality, front-end requirements, and target system. The Migration Assessment outlines the anticipated cost range.
| Package | Buyer Need | Deliverables | Engagement Model |
| Migration Assessment | “We don’t yet know whether to upgrade, migrate, or replatform.” | Version and support audit, custom-module inventory, integration map, data assessment, SEO baseline, platform options, risk register, architecture recommendation, roadmap | Fixed price, 1–3 weeks |
| Magento Upgrade & Modernisation | “Magento is still right, but the implementation is old, slow, or fragile.” | Supported-version upgrade, custom-code remediation, module rationalisation, frontend and performance work, test automation | 4–16 weeks, quoted after assessment |
| Migration & Replatforming | “We’ve chosen a destination.” | Store build, data migration, custom functionality, integrations, SEO, QA, dry migrations, cutover, hypercare | Typically 12–20+ weeks, scoped after assessment |
| Migration Rescue & Hypercare | “Our migration is failing, or already launched badly.” | Architecture and code audit, data reconciliation, redirect and indexation repair, performance and checkout stabilisation, takeover plan | Urgent response; timeline set after initial triage |
