Why do merchants migrate?

The most common reasons leading brands migrate from Wordpress (WooCommerce), OpenCart, Shopify and other systems to Magento.

Security and Protection WordPress is a popular target for hackers and bots, and dealing with them can be a difficult task

FAQ

Debunking Magento myths

 

Will I lose any data during the migration?

Migrations from WooCommerce are among the types where data loss is minimized to nearly zero. Usually, products with images, categories, user profiles, and blog posts can be migrated. Customer shipping addresses are typically not migrated due to differences in address structure between systems. As for order history – there are several approaches, and in most cases, this data can be preserved.

What happens to my SEO optimization in Google after migration?

One reason migrations are complex projects is the need to account for multiple factors affecting sales. We specialize in successfully migrating and redirecting traffic from old to new target pages (products, categories) when URL structures differ. Our projects often show improved SEO performance in Google within 1 to 3 months post-migration, and with Magento’s additional features (e.g., dynamic filters), results can be even better.

What happens to my current online store while the new one is being developed?
Your current store will continue to operate during the development of the new solution and will only be taken offline once the new store is ready to go live. It is best practice to keep the old store accessible in a demo environment for internal use for a short time after migration.
Will I receive training on how to use Magento?
Absolutely! In addition to the official platform documentation, you’ll receive personalized training covering all essential operations. Our support team is also available to assist you whenever needed.
Isn't Magento only for large retailers?

Magento is suitable for medium and large online stores, but what qualifies as 'large' can often be subjective. In our experience, some merchants we support and develop for would be considered small by some standards. However, with the right setup, they successfully use Magento and stay ahead of competitors relying on simpler, more limited eCommerce systems.

I’ve heard Magento is difficult to use. Is that true?

We can confidently say – not anymore! Magento 1 (supported from 2012 to 2022) did have a more complex admin interface, and due to its rich features, that perception was somewhat justified. However, Magento 2 offers a modern and user-friendly admin panel. Our experience shows that staff at all levels can comfortably handle their responsibilities using it.

Which system is faster?

Speed is a complex topic that depends not only on the platform but also on the project's complexity, plugins used, third-party integrations, server performance, and how the store is maintained. Our Magento-based solutions are optimized for excellent performance by default. For projects where speed is critical, we offer a separate storefront solution called Hyvä, which delivers outstanding results.

Isn't Magento more expensive to develop and maintain?

Typically, building a Magento store includes owning the final product. In this sense, having a Magento-based online store is an investment, not just a cost—unlike SaaS platforms such as Shopify or its local alternatives, where you never truly own the system. Compared to WooCommerce, both platforms are open source and free to use. However, they operate on different levels of complexity, which naturally leads to differences in development and maintenance costs—especially when comparing small agencies for WooCommerce to experienced software companies offering long-term Magento solutions.
