Commerce Platform Migration. @commerce-platform-migration

The Commerce Platform Migration moves a live store from one platform to another — products, variants, customers, order history, discounts, content, and the integrations around them. The finish state is unambiguous: you are trading on the new platform, historical data is queryable and correct, every connected system works, and organic traffic survives the move behind a complete redirect map.

Migrations go wrong quietly: dropped variants, broken tax rules, lost customer passwords, and redirect gaps that bleed rankings for months. The sprint runs the migration as a verified pipeline — extract, transform, load, reconcile — with row-count and spot-check validation at every stage, and a rehearsed cutover rather than a hopeful one.

Migration Audit & Data Mapping

A full inventory of catalog structure, customer data, order history, promotions, content, apps, and custom behavior — mapped field-by-field to the target platform, with gaps flagged before anything moves.

Data Migration & Validation

Scripted, repeatable migration runs with reconciliation reports: counts, sums, and sampled record comparisons across products, customers, and orders — run until clean.

Integration Rewiring

Payment gateways, tax, shipping, email, analytics, ERP and fulfillment connections re-established on the target platform and tested with live-like transactions.

SEO-Safe Cutover

A complete URL redirect map, preserved metadata and structured data, staged DNS cutover with rollback, and post-launch monitoring of crawl errors and rankings-critical pages.

1. Scope — Audit the source store, map data and integrations to the target, and fix the cutover and rollback plan.
2. Build — Run scripted migrations into staging, rewire integrations, and rehearse the cutover until reconciliation is clean.
3. Handover — Production cutover, redirect map live, post-launch monitoring window, and documentation of the new stack.

The Commerce Platform Migration is a menu item on the Scrums.com delivery catalog, available at every plan tier. Add it to your plan backlog and your delivery team schedules it like any other item — scoped, tracked, and reported through the SEOP. See Delivery Plan Tiers.

How much downtime should we expect?

Minutes, not days. The store keeps trading on the source platform until the rehearsed cutover; a final delta migration catches orders placed during the switch window.

Do customers keep their accounts?

Accounts and history migrate. Passwords usually cannot move between platforms for security reasons — the sprint includes a tested reset flow so customers keep access without support tickets.

What happens after the migration?

A post-launch monitoring window is included. For ongoing upkeep of the new store, the Web Estate Maintenance item on the menu is the standard follow-on.
