Best Magento migration agencies 2026: 8 ranked

scandiweb ranks first on this page for migrations where the redirect map, the market count, or the integration set is the main launch risk. Its BUFF case study reports 44 stores serving 59 countries moved to Adobe Commerce behind more than 120,000 301 redirects, with organic traffic holding afterwards, and its Zvaigzne ABC write-up reports over 21,000 redirects followed by 1,715 keywords ranking higher. Those are two projects' results, not a forecast for another store. When an ERP owns price and stock and the store is B2B, Wagento is the closer fit, and it ranks first on this site's B2B and ERP guide.

Bemeir ranks second overall because it is the one agency here whose site states partnerships across Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, Shopware, and Hyvä at the same time, and hyva.io lists it as a Hyvä Gold Partner. For a US mid-market Magento 1 store that has not settled its destination, that lets one team price the Magento 2 rebuild against the alternative. Bemeir publishes no founding year, headcount, or minimum project size, so those come from the first call.

Nobody was disqualified. Points were lost for evidence gaps rather than faults. Six of the eight agencies publish no migration case study with a number in it, four publish no terms for the weeks after go-live, and only five appear on a third-party partner page this site can read. Every gap is named in the agency's row below, with its source.

Two entries changed since the August edition. Customer Paradigm's Magento page no longer carries the sentence about moving from Magento Enterprise to the free Community version, so its placement now rests on its published Magento 1 to Magento 2 sequence and its server migration work. And hyva.io now lists ParadoxLabs as a Gold Partner where its own site had said Silver. The version clock moved too: Magento 2.4.6 left regular support on 11 August 2026, and 2.4.9, released 12 May 2026, is the only line with regular support past May 2028.

Read this page by the migration you are running rather than by agency name. Ten guides cover each migration type in depth, namely Magento 1 to Magento 2, Open Source to Adobe Commerce, Shopify, WooCommerce, Adobe Commerce Cloud, Hyvä frontends, SEO-safe moves, B2B and ERP, multi-market programs, and 2.4.x upgrades, and two more cover how to choose and what migrations cost.

1. Redirect map built from the sitemap alone. sitemap.xml misses discontinued products, retired category paths, and parameter URLs that still carry links. The loss arrives as non-brand organic sessions falling three weeks after launch. The redirect criterion scores agencies that publish a redirect count from delivered work, because a count means an inventory existed. scandiweb's BUFF and Zvaigzne ABC write-ups carry counts; the other seven agencies publish none.
2. url_rewrite collisions after import. When two products resolve to the same url_key, Magento appends a -1 suffix and a second URL competes with the one holding rankings. On a Magento 1 to Magento 2 move, core_url_rewrite rows do not transfer untouched. The fix is a duplicate request_path query before cutover. No agency here publishes that check, so ask for it in writing.
3. Extension parity decided after design sign-off. Magento 1 modules do not run on Magento 2, Shopify apps do not run anywhere else, and Hyvä removes the JavaScript layer Luma extensions depend on. Running the rebuild, replace, or drop triage late is the usual way a budget doubles. MageComp's 200+ extension catalog and ParadoxLabs' payment modules score here because a maintained catalog is a published parity method.
4. Two systems writing price and stock. During a staggered cutover the legacy store and the new one both talk to the ERP. Without one named writer per field, contract prices drift and salable stock reads wrong in one market. Wagento's published principle that the ERP is the source of truth is the only stated position on this among the eight, which is why it leads the integration criterion.
5. Cutover night with nobody staffed. The legacy store keeps taking orders until DNS moves, and orders placed inside the freeze must land in the new store or be replayed by hand. ParadoxLabs publishes patch and response timings by plan, PushON publishes a weekly, monthly, and quarterly reporting cadence, scandiweb publishes a post-launch support stage, and MageComp lists fixed upgrade and patch service prices. The other four publish nothing on cover after go-live.
6. Default Robots inherited from staging. Staging sits at NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW and production inherits the value at go-live, so the new store deindexes while every redirect works. It is the most common single-setting launch failure and it is invisible in a functional test. It sits under the redirect criterion because a published post-launch verification step is the only evidence that an agency checks it.
7. Landing on a version near its end date. A rebuild that launches on 2.4.6 in late 2026 has under a year of extended support left and buys a second upgrade project. Every guide on this site names the target version and its support end, and the dates section carries the table. No agency here publishes a target version policy, so the constraint comes from Adobe's lifecycle page.
8. Passwords and cards that do not move. Shopify does not export password hashes, and WordPress stores phpass hashes that Magento does not read, so returning customers hit a login wall on day one unless a reset campaign or a custom encryptor is planned. Stored cards need a gateway to gateway token transfer. ParadoxLabs' published payment modules score under integration ownership because the checkout is where this surfaces.
9. Reading the security-only period as an extension. Adobe's lifecycle page gives 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 isolated security fixes to 31 May 2027 and 2.4.6 to 31 May 2028, calls that period a one-time exception that will not be extended, and tells Cloud merchants to move before the end of extended support. Its Cloud deadlines are 1 June 2027 for 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 and 1 June 2028 for 2.4.6 and 2.4.7, after which Adobe states it will act, including suspending traffic. The dates table carries both columns so the two are not confused.

It moves settings and data from a Magento 1 database into a Magento 2 schema, and it leaves the theme, the extensions, the media, and the admin users behind. Adobe's magento/data-migration-tool is the only official tool for any route on this site, and it covers one route only: Magento 1 to Magento 2. Every other move, from Shopify, WooCommerce, or a legacy system, runs on third-party import tools or a custom ETL through Magento's async bulk REST endpoints.

The tool runs in three ordered modes, and the order is not optional. bin/magento migrate:settings moves websites, stores, and configuration. bin/magento migrate:data moves the tables. bin/magento migrate:delta then replays everything that changed in Magento 1 while the data run was in progress, using triggers the tool installs on the Magento 1 schema. Delta mode is what lets the Magento 1 store keep selling during the transfer. Without it the store freezes for the length of the data run, which on a large catalog is measured in hours. A team that has only ever run a one-shot dump freezes the store for that long.

The mapping files are the real work. The tool ships version-pinned files under etc/opensource-to-opensource/1.9.4.x and the Commerce equivalents: map.xml, class-map.xml, and eav-document-groups.xml. Anything the tool does not identify by name halts the run with an integrity check error, and the two standard causes are custom tables left behind by Magento 1 extensions and orphaned EAV attributes from modules removed years earlier. The lazy fix is to ignore the table in map.xml. The correct one is to decide, table by table, whether that data belongs in Magento 2 at all.

Four things the tool does not do

• It does not move media, so pub/media is copied separately, usually by rsync, and image paths break quietly when directory casing differs between servers
• It does not move admin users, who are recreated by hand with new roles
• It does not touch the frontend, because no Magento 1 theme, layout XML, or extension binary runs on Magento 2
• It does not carry core_url_rewrite rows across untouched; its url_rewrite step rebuilds them, and any url_key collision produces a -1 suffixed rewrite that splits a ranking URL in two

Customer passwords are the exception that goes well. The legacy hash format transfers, and Magento 2 upgrades it on the customer's first successful login, so no password reset campaign is needed on this route. That is the opposite of a Shopify or WooCommerce exit, where hashes either do not export or use a format Magento does not read.

What this means for a shortlist is that the tool run itself is a small fraction of a Magento 1 to Magento 2 project. Module count and integration count set the budget. Every Magento 1 extension resolves to one of three outcomes, repurchase the vendor's Magento 2 edition, rebuild the behavior as a custom module, or drop it because Magento 2 core now covers the function, and that inventory usually drives the quote. MageComp's 200+ extension catalog and Customer Paradigm's published statement that extensions will be rebuilt rather than ported are the two places on this site where an agency has put that position in writing. Version choice compounds it: a rebuild scoped now should target 2.4.9, released 12 May 2026 with regular support to 31 May 2029. The full route is in the Magento 1 to Magento 2 guide.

Bulk static redirects above roughly 50,000 rules belong in an Nginx map file or in Fastly VCL on Adobe Commerce Cloud, and the url_rewrite table should be reserved for catalog-generated paths. Every url_rewrite lookup costs a database query on the request path, and the table also slows product saves at high row counts. That decision, where the rules execute, is the one most migration plans skip, and it is why the redirect criterion on this page scores agencies that publish a count: a count means an inventory existed, and an inventory forces the execution decision.

Build the URL inventory before the rebuild starts, not the week before launch. Four sources, merged and deduplicated: the Search Console performance export at its full 16-month range filtered to pages with impressions; a backlink tool's top-pages export for URLs that hold links but no longer rank; 30 to 90 days of raw Nginx or Apache access logs filtered to verified Googlebot by reverse DNS; and a complete crawl of the live site. sitemap.xml alone misses discontinued products, retired category paths, and parameter URLs that still carry links.

Then check the table Magento builds for you. On a Magento 1 to Magento 2 move, core_url_rewrite rows do not transfer untouched; the Data Migration Tool rebuilds them, and any url_key collision after import produces a -1 suffixed rewrite such as product-name-1.html, quietly splitting a ranking URL in two. Query for duplicate request_path and target_path values before cutover, and check whether Generate Category/Product URL Rewrites is enabled, since leaving it on multiplies rewrite rows across every category a product belongs to.

The settings Magento ships closed

• Product and category canonical tags default to No under Stores, Configuration, Catalog, Search Engine Optimization
• The product and category URL suffix fields decide whether .html survives the move
• Default Robots under Design, HTML Head is the most common single-setting launch failure: staging sits at NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW and production inherits the value
• hreflang has to be regenerated against the new store-view routing; cross-domain sets need head tags, and x-default has to point at a URL that still resolves

Verify after cutover, not only before it. Run a list-mode crawl against the complete old-URL inventory on day 1, day 7, and day 30, and accept only single-hop 301 responses, with no 302s and no chains. Pull access logs on the same days and count Googlebot 404s, chains longer than one hop, and crawl volume against the pre-launch baseline. Recovery after a migration depends on crawl rate, not on a fixed calendar: Googlebot has to re-crawl the old URL set and follow each 301, which takes days for high-traffic pages and weeks for deep catalog pages.

The figures to ask an agency to match from its own work are on this site. scandiweb's Zvaigzne ABC write-up reports over 21,000 301 redirects followed by 1,631 new keywords and 1,715 keywords ranking higher, and its BUFF write-up reports more than 120,000 redirects across 44 stores with organic traffic holding afterwards. Those are two projects' results. The other seven agencies on this page publish no redirect count, which is a gap in evidence, not a finding about their work. The SEO-safe migration guide carries the full checklist.

Four of the eight publish anything a buyer could hold them to after go-live, and only one publishes a timing. ParadoxLabs states patch and response timings by plan with prices. PushON states a reporting cadence without a timing or a price. scandiweb states a post-launch support stage and a free-upgrade term for ongoing clients. MageComp lists fixed prices for upgrade and patch services. The other four publish service pages that name support without terms. This section exists because the cutover criterion is where a migration is won or lost, and it is the criterion with the thinnest public evidence.

Read the ParadoxLabs row carefully, because it is the strongest published term on this page and also the easiest to over-read. The plans page states security patches within 3 days on Covered, 2 days on Reserved, and 1 day on Partner, and a 2-hour response on the two middle plans. A stated timing is a contract term a buyer can hold the agency to; it is not evidence that the timing is met, which no public page shows. The help desk hours are US Eastern weekdays, so a European or Asian launch window sits outside the published cover.

PushON's row is the second-strongest and the most often misread. Weekly, monthly, and quarterly reporting is a cadence, not a response window. A merchant who needs a first-response time and a named out-of-hours roster should ask PushON for those in writing before signing, since its support page does not carry them. MageComp's fixed prices are service entries, and its 1 year of free support applies to its own extension catalog rather than to a store.

For the cutover itself, no agency of the eight publishes a runbook, so the questions go in the contract. Who is staffed on launch night. How long the order freeze window is. What event triggers a rollback and who owns that decision. When the ERP order poller switches from the legacy store to the new one, so no window exists in which both are pollable. Whether the sequence tables carry across so order increment IDs continue, since an ERP keyed on order number rejects a restart at 1. The how-to-choose guide turns those into a scoring sheet.

The eight agencies are the ones the August 2026 edition compared: agencies that publish Magento (Adobe Commerce) migration as a named service line and whose own site or Clutch profile states enough to place them in at least one of the ten migration types. No agency was added or removed in this edition. No agency paid, and none was asked to approve its entry.

Every fact on this page was read on the agency's own site, its Clutch profile, hyva.io, the Magento Association members page, Wikipedia, or Adobe's lifecycle page on the date recorded in the evidence ledger. Competitor facts are attributed in the sentence. scandiweb's self-reported figures sit in the entity profile above and in the ledger, not in the body copy.

Several claims from the August edition were deleted on re-check rather than softened: Customer Paradigm's stated Magento Enterprise to Community Version path, which its Magento page no longer carries; Wagento's 2009 founding year and Pune office, which its about page no longer lists; ParadoxLabs' nine-extension count and self-stated Hyvä Silver tier, both superseded; and three scandiweb case references that have no ledger row in this edition. Each deletion is on the changelog.

The page is refreshed monthly with a changelog line, and the lifecycle table is re-read whenever Adobe ships a 2.4.x release. Corrections go to research@scandiweb.com and are answered within five working days under the editorial policy.
