Client's Challenge

Vaporin approached Internet Soft, an design company based in San Francisco, to redesign and migrate their existing Magento 1 (M1) eCommerce store to the latest version, Magento 2 (M2). The challenges for Internet Soft included:

Moving store database

Transferring store data, including product information, customer base, orders, and configurations, from M1 to M2 using the official Magento Migration Tool.

Migrating custom-built functionality

Adapting third-party extensions and custom features from M1 to M2, as the architecture of the two platforms differs significantly.

Migrating store theme

Finding or developing a new theme for Vaporin's store that would align with their brand and work seamlessly with M2.

The Process

Transferring Store Data

Internet Soft initiated the migration process by installing a fresh Magento 2 instance on the client's server. Internet Soft then installed and configured the Magento Data Migration Tool, which would facilitate the transfer of essential data.
Using the migration tool, Internet Soft successfully moved all critical data, including store settings, website content, categories, products, customer information, orders, and CMS data. Additionally, media files associated with the products were also transferred.

Moving Custom-Built Functionality

Internet Soft encountered challenges in this stage, as some third-party extensions installed on the client's M1 website lacked the same functionality on M2. They had to redevelop or find suitable replacements for these extensions.
To meet Vaporin's requirements, Internet Soft leveraged the improved functionality of Magento 2 and selected extensions that fulfilled the core needs of the client.

Migrating Store Theme

For the store's visual design, Vaporin opted to purchase a ready-to-use Magento 2 theme developed by Pronto. To ensure a seamless transition and allow the client to preview the theme's effects, Internet Soft installed it on a development site that had no data.
