Online shop migration with order and customer checks

A shop is more than a website — it's orders, customers, payments, stock levels and transactional emails. We migrate it with full data protection and uninterrupted sales.

Why an online shop migration demands extra care

An online shop can't afford downtime or data loss. Unlike an ordinary website, every outage means a real financial loss — missed orders, broken payments and worried customers.

That's why we approach a shop migration with a plan: we set a migration window, verify payment integrations, and test the cart and transactional emails before switching the domain.

Before the migration

What we check before an online shop migration

🔍

Shop and PHP version

We verify the current WooCommerce, PrestaShop or other engine version and its PHP requirements.

🗄️

Data size and volume

We assess the database size and the number of orders and products to plan migration time.

💳

Payment integrations

We check payment gateways (Przelewy24, PayU, Stripe, PayPal) and their configuration on the new environment.

📦

Shipping integrations

We verify shipping and courier modules that need reconfiguring after the migration.

📩

Transactional emails

We test that order, confirmation and refund emails work on the new environment.

Cron and scheduled tasks

We check automated tasks (cron) — e.g. stock synchronisation or reports.

Migration window

Planning the migration window for an online shop

For an online shop it's worth scheduling the move — ideally during low-traffic hours or at the weekend. This reduces the risk of losing orders placed during the migration.

Before switching the domain we test the shop on a temporary address. Only after verifying payments, emails and the cart do we move traffic to the new environment.

Important: We recommend actively monitoring incoming orders and the payment system during the first hours after the migration.
Risks

What can go wrong during an online shop migration?

⚠️ Loss of orders placed during the DNS switch
⚠️ Broken online payments — wrong gateway configuration on the new environment
⚠️ No transactional emails — customers don't receive order confirmations
⚠️ Broken links in products and categories after a domain change
⚠️ Missing SSL certificate — customers see a security warning in the browser
⚠️ Customer login problems — broken session or cookie configuration
FAQ

Online shop migration — common questions

We schedule the migration window during low-traffic hours and agree with you how to handle any orders placed during the DNS switch.
Yes, we test the payment gateway on the new environment — both in test mode and (by arrangement) with a test transaction in production mode.
