Upgrade Magento Without The Broken Launch

It covers assessing your current version, extensions and custom code, then upgrading the Magento core, PHP and wider stack to the target release, migrating your customisations and data, and testing everything on staging before a controlled go-live. It is a proper project, not a one-click update, which is exactly why doing it carefully matters.

Not the way we do it. The entire upgrade is built and regression-tested on a staging copy that mirrors production, with a full backup taken first. Go-live only happens once checkout, admin and integrations are confirmed working, and a rollback is always ready.

No. We migrate your custom modules, overrides and theme to the new version properly, so the features and look you rely on carry across. Preserving customisations cleanly, rather than bolting them back on, is a core part of the work.

Yes. Even from an old or end-of-life release we can plan a safe path to a current, supported version, in stages if the jump is large, so you get there without a risky single leap.

It depends on how far behind you are and how much custom code and how many extensions are involved. A minor update is quick; a major version jump with heavy customisation is a multi-week project. We give you a clear scope and timeline after the assessment.

We check every extension against the target version, update or replace the ones with a path forward, and are honest about any that are abandoned or incompatible so you can decide how to handle them. Nothing is left to fail silently after go-live.

Yes. Data and configuration are migrated and verified as part of the upgrade, and a full backup is always taken first, so your catalog, orders, customers and settings come across intact.

Minimal. Because the upgrade is fully built and tested on staging, the production cutover is a short, planned step done in a low-traffic window, with a rollback ready if anything looks wrong.

If your build is sound but behind, an upgrade is usually the right, lower-cost move. If it is very old, heavily broken or you are moving off Magento entirely, a replatform or migration may be better. We give you an honest recommendation rather than pushing the bigger project.

Usually yes. Newer Magento versions require newer PHP, and running an unsupported PHP version is a security and stability risk. We handle the PHP, database and wider stack upgrade as part of the project.

An unsupported version stops getting security and bug fixes, blocks new extensions and features, and slowly becomes harder and more expensive to maintain. Upgrading keeps you secure, compatible and on a platform your team and vendors can actually support.

Yes. We watch the upgraded store closely after go-live and offer ongoing support and maintenance, and the wider Magento team is on hand when the upgrade touches hosting, performance or custom development.
