Magento 1 will stop being supported in June 2020. This means that businesses who want to continue using this global leading ecommerce platform will need to upgrade.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t already made plans for your migration, now is the time to get started. After all, you\u2019ll be in great company \u2013 Coca-Cola, Jaguar UK, Unipart, Graham & Green, HP, Paul Smith, JCB and SEAT are just some of the big-name brands who trust Magento Commerce.<\/p>\n

Managing your Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration<\/a> is no small task, as the process requires a complete transfer of your customer and order details, category and product data to the new, separate system.<\/p>\n

As a certified Magento Solution Partner<\/a>, chilliapple takes all the pain and worry out of the process with a seamless, drama-free Magento migration.<\/p>\n

Our specialist team will set up a fresh site in the latest version of Magento and upgrade any extensions and third-party modules. This ensures that your online store has maximum functionality, with no disruption to your customer journey.<\/p>\n

With advanced upgrade solutions and secure backup tools, you can have peace of mind that the migration of your database to Magento 2 will be totally safe.<\/p>\n

Some of your existing design themes, modules and customisation may not be compatible when you upgrade to Magento 2<\/a>, but this is actually a great opportunity to give your site a boost. We\u2019ll enhance your store\u2019s design theme so that customers enjoy an even better experience on your website.<\/p>\n

Okay, let\u2019s get to the numbers. Depending on the number of modules requiring customisation and whether your site has a theme or bespoke design, your Magento 2 migration<\/a> could cost from as little as \u00a35,000.<\/p>\n

You may be asking yourself, why upgrade anyway? Well, if you don\u2019t migrate to Magento 2<\/a>, you\u2019ll no longer receive the code upgrades and security patches that currently keep your website performing smoothly and your M1 site could be at risk.<\/p>\n

Upgrading to Magento 2 also presents a wealth of opportunities to take your online store to the next level through its new features. With\u00a0simplified admin,\u00a0an enhanced shopping experience and an easy\u00a0check-out process, your customers are sure to notice the benefits.<\/p>\n

Improved interface mobile compatibility, full page caching and 25% improved speed enable you to offer faster, more user-friendly shopping that customers can easily access on the go.<\/p>\n

Magento 2 delivers even better code quality and testing, along with performance and scalability improvements, so you can continue to rely on Magento as your ecommerce partner<\/a> of the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
