Why make the switch to Magento 2
OBSOLETION OF MAGENTO 1 Support was supposed to be officially discontinued for Magento 1 on 18th November 2018. Later on, such claims were dismissed by Magento. With a user-friendly checkout method, improved indexers and database optimizations, Magento 2 handsomely outclasses its predecessor. Magento will end support for Magento 1 on June 2020, which is all the more reason for clients to move over to Magento 2.
BACKEND DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS ON THE BACKEND, MAGENTO 2 IS A SAFER BET BECAUSE OF THESE KEY FEATURES LIKE: • More intuitive admin • The marketplace is vetted by Magento’s extension quality team • Each customer is deployed in their own isolated server environment • PCI certified as a Level 1 Solution Provider • Out-of-the-box tools to easily develop and deploy your store to Magento’s cloud infrastructure
PREPARATORY PHASE: STEPS BEFORE JUMPING IN Before starting the actual migration process, consider the following recommendations: • Back-Up Magento 1 Store Data - files, folders, and the database. • Migrate from the clone of Magento 1 store – never from the live store • Declutter your store and keep the rest for migration • Check whether your current theme(s), extensions and custom code are compatible with the Magento 2. • Migrate the data from the cloned database of your Magento 1 store. • Remove outdated data – logs, recently viewed products, compare products. • Install a fresh copy of Magento 2 on the same hosting server as your Magento 1 store. • Make sure SEO and other store traffic are streamlined pre-migration.
PRE-MIGRATION: SEO ANALYSIS • ANALYZE YOUR GOOGLE ANALYTICS • ANALYZE YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE • FIX 404 ERRORS • ANALYZE YOUR ROBOTS.TXT FILE • ANALYZE YOUR CANONICAL TAGS • DON’T CHANGE YOUR META TAGS
The Different Processes of Migrating to • Theme Migration • Extension Migration • Customization • Data Migration • Install Magento 2 Data Migration Tool via Composer • Configure Magento 2 Data Migration Tool • Migrate Settings Using Magento 2 Data Migration Tool • Migrate Data Using Magento 2 Data Migration Tool
TAILORED FOR B2B E-COMMERCE • Assign custom catalogs and price lists to customers • Target content and promotions to specific customer segments • Use automated business rules to optimize your fulfillment costs and delivery times • Mobile-optimized experiences • Purchasing options such as by entering SKUs, uploading CSV files or choosing items from pre-set requisition lists
FINAL VERDICT Once all Magento migration processes are successfully over, do not forget to test the Magento 2 store thoroughly to ensure that everything functions properly. The entire process of migration is not fully automated yet. Plentiful manual work is needed to complete the process successfully. However, with a user-friendly checkout method, improved indexers and database optimizations, and support coming to a close soon, it has never been more crucial to switch to the all new Magento 2.
