• Because of Magento 1s impending demise,
  businesses must hire a Magento web development
  company to help them move as quickly as possible
  to version 2. Since the code structures and
  database architecture of Magento 1 and Magento 2
  are so vastly different, the upgrading procedure
  is now referred to as migration.

• As a result, this update is much more complicated
  than any other Magento upgrade. As a result, if
  you want to migrate to Magento 2, youll need a
  detailed strategy in place sooner rather than
  later.

Here are some factors to keep in mind while
transitioning from Magento 1 to Magento 2

• 1. How difficult can the migration from Magento 1
  to Magento 2 be?
• Magento 1 and Magento 2 are, as weve already
  established, diametrically opposed in many
  respects. File structure, built-in technologies,
  JavaScript library, and more are all examples of
  distinctions that we can point to.

• As a result, there is no simple way to import or
  export data between the two systems. This article
  compares and contrasts three techniques for
  migrating from Magento 1 to 2.

• If you go for a do-it-yourself approach, make
  sure you have the technical expertise to prevent
  or correct any issues that may arise during the
  transfer, such as data loss or downtime for your
  Magento 1 business. Otherwise, we strongly
  suggest that you hire a Magento ecommerce
  development company to help with the migration.

2. How to migrate extension.

• Using Lit extension, you can move all of your
  product, customer, and order data in one fell
  swoop. This includes media assets, which are
  notoriously difficult to move through other
  means. Refer to our thorough information on
  Magento 2 upgrade service here if you want to
  know precisely what data we can move.

• The only way to migrate extensions is to use a
  third-party service like Dropbox or Google Drive
  or hire a Magento website development company.
  Your Magento 1 shop can have been enhanced by
  third-party extensions. Magento 2 is not likely
  to support specific add-ons, making migrating
  them difficult.

3. Is it possible to migrate the theme?

• Despite our best efforts, there is no way to move
  the theme. This is an essential consideration for
  Magento 1 to Magento 2 migrations.
• To operate effectively with Magento 2, you will
  need to design a new theme. Your chance to make
  any front-end enhancements will be here.
  Alternatively, if youve been using Magento 1 and
  havent implemented a completely responsive
  design, upgrading to Magento 2 will provide you
  the opportunity to do so.

4. How long does downtime last?

• Your consumers and your company will suffer
  because of downtime, which is a bad thing. Keep
  this in mind while making the switch from Magento
  1 to Magento 2.
• Fortunately, the outage will just last a few
  moments. When you update DNS and re-indexing, the
  process is complete. As a result, it wont have a
  significant impact on your revenue. Suppose you
  want to prevent a negative experience for your
  consumers. In that case, it is strongly suggested
  that you notify them by email or on your website
  of the outage.

  should not be taken lightly. Its much more
  difficult with the complicated transition from
  Magento 1 to Magento 2. Please contact Magento
  website development services if youre not sure
  how to handle the migration.
