Magento is holding your store back

Aging Magento and Adobe Commerce stores carry years of accumulated extensions, custom themes, and performance debt that slow every page and inflate maintenance bills. Adobe Commerce licensing and infrastructure costs keep climbing, while merchants running older or unsupported versions face mounting security and compliance risk. The monolith couples your storefront tightly to the backend, making every design change, integration, or performance fix slower and riskier than it should be. For teams across the USA, Europe, and the Gulf, this is the moment the platform starts costing more than it earns.

A clean move to modern headless commerce

Hepek re-platforms your store onto a custom headless commerce architecture that decouples the storefront from the commerce engine, so front-end and back-end evolve independently. We migrate your full catalog, order history, and customer base with verified data parity, then rebuild the buyer experience as a fast, server-rendered storefront optimized for Core Web Vitals and search. Every URL is mapped and preserved with tested 301 redirects, so rankings and link equity carry over. The result is a lighter, faster, API-first platform you own outright, with no per-seat licensing lock-in.

Så fungerar det

  1. 1

    Audit & migration blueprint

    We inventory your Magento data, extensions, custom logic, integrations, and every indexed URL. This produces a precise migration blueprint, a redirect map, and a replatforming plan for themes and third-party features.

  2. 2

    Data migration with parity checks

    We build scripted, repeatable jobs to migrate products, categories, custom attributes, media, customers, and full order history, including invoices and credit memos. Automated parity checks reconcile source and target counts so nothing is silently dropped.

  3. 3

    Headless storefront build

    We rebuild the storefront as a server-side-rendered headless application wired to a modern commerce engine and your existing ERP, PIM, payment, and search systems. Extension functionality is replatformed as clean, maintainable code instead of brittle plugins.

  4. 4

    SEO & URL preservation

    Before cutover we configure and test a 301 redirect for every changed URL and carry over meta titles, descriptions, and URL keys. We baseline Google Search Console so ranking movements are visible from day one.

  5. 5

    Staged cutover with zero-downtime target

    We rehearse the migration on a staging clone, run a final delta sync of orders and customers placed during the build, and switch traffic with a DNS and redirect strategy designed for zero downtime.

  6. 6

    Post-launch monitoring & hardening

    We monitor Search Console, crawl errors, and Core Web Vitals weekly through the critical first 90 days, resolving any redirect or indexing gaps fast and tuning performance as real traffic lands.

Teknik

Data mapping & migration jobs

Scripted, re-runnable pipelines that move catalog, customers, and orders from Magento with reconciliation reports proving full data parity before cutover.

301 redirect engine

A tested redirect map covering every legacy Magento URL, preserving link equity and preventing the 404s that quietly erode search rankings during a replatform.

Headless storefront (SSR/SSG)

A decoupled, API-first storefront with server-side rendering and static generation for fast, crawlable pages and strong Core Web Vitals.

Integration layer

Clean API connections to your ERP, PIM, payment providers, tax, and search, replacing legacy Magento extensions with maintainable services you control.

Fördelar

Faster storefront, better conversion

Shedding the monolith and its extension overhead delivers dramatically faster load times and stronger Core Web Vitals, the ranking and conversion signals that matter most.

SEO preserved by design

With a complete, tested 301 map and preserved metadata, we target 100% preservation of your existing rankings and organic traffic through the switch.

Zero-downtime cutover

Staged rehearsals, delta syncs, and a careful traffic switch mean customers keep shopping while you migrate, protecting revenue during the transition.

No licensing lock-in

You escape rising Adobe Commerce license and infrastructure fees and own a platform built around your business, not a vendor's pricing tiers.

Independent front-end and back-end

A decoupled architecture lets you redesign the storefront or add channels without touching the commerce engine, so future changes ship faster and safer.

Enterprise data integrity

Every order, invoice, and customer record arrives intact, so returns, reorders, reporting, and compliance continue exactly as before across all your markets.

Vanliga frågor

How long does a Magento to headless commerce migration take?

Most enterprise Magento migrations run 8 to 16 weeks, depending on catalog size, integration depth, and B2B complexity. Hepek starts with an audit and migration blueprint so you get a firm timeline before any code is written. Simpler stores move faster; heavily customized Adobe Commerce environments with ERP integration sit at the upper end.

Will migrating off Magento hurt my SEO or search rankings?

Not when redirects are handled correctly. The biggest cause of traffic loss in any replatform is broken URLs producing 404s, so Hepek builds and tests a 301 redirect for every changed Magento URL before cutover and preserves meta titles, descriptions, and URL keys. We baseline Google Search Console and monitor it weekly for 90 days post-launch, targeting 100% preservation of your rankings.

Can I migrate my full order history and customer accounts from Magento?

Yes. Hepek migrates your complete catalog, customer records, and order history, including invoices and credit memos, using scripted jobs with reconciliation checks that verify source and target data match. Customers keep their accounts and history, so returns, reorders, and reporting continue uninterrupted. Nothing is left behind or silently dropped.

Do I have to worry about Magento or Adobe Commerce end-of-life and rising costs?

Migrating to a modern headless stack removes both concerns. Merchants on older or unsupported Magento versions face growing security and compliance risk, while Adobe Commerce license and infrastructure fees keep climbing. Moving to a custom headless architecture gives you a maintained, future-proof platform you own outright, with no per-seat licensing to escalate over time.

Will my store go offline during the migration?

No downtime is the target. Hepek rehearses the full migration on a staging clone, runs a final delta sync of any orders and customers created during the build, and switches traffic using a DNS and redirect strategy designed for zero downtime. Your store keeps taking orders throughout, protecting revenue during the transition.

Does Hepek work with businesses outside the USA?

Yes. Hepek delivers Magento migrations for merchants across the USA, Europe, and Qatar and the wider Gulf, with engineering rooted in Bosnia and Herzegovina and clients in markets including Germany, Switzerland, and Sweden.
