Common problems, and how we solve them

Most Magento headless projects hit the same few issues. We plan for them before the build starts.

  • Search engines must see the content

    How we solve it: A front-end rendered only in the browser can lose rankings. We build with server-side rendering, so every page arrives as full HTML, with the same URLs.

  • Extensions that change the storefront

    How we solve it: Many Magento extensions render their own front-end. We list them and rebuild what you need on top of Magento's GraphQL and REST APIs.

  • Checkout is the riskiest part

    How we solve it: We can launch in phases: catalog and content pages first, while checkout stays on Magento, then move checkout once everything else runs.

  • Two systems to run instead of one

    How we solve it: One team supports both the Magento backend and the front-end, with shared deployments and monitoring, so there's no gap between them.

FAQ

Questions about Magento headless migration

Do we have to migrate to a new platform?

It depends on your goals and on whether your current stack is still worth maintaining. Most migrations are driven by maintenance costs or security risks. We weigh both and suggest the option that's safe and makes financial sense for you. For many clients, that means staying on their current platform, and we explain exactly why. If that doesn't suit you, we'll propose another option.

Will we lose our search rankings?

Not if the migration is planned around SEO. We export your indexed URLs from Google Search Console, keep or redirect every one, and move robots.txt, sitemaps and analytics.

How is a migration priced?

Every migration is estimated individually. The smallest projects start from $6,000. You get a plan, a timeline and a fixed estimate before any work starts.

Can we migrate only part of the data?

Yes. You can move just orders, customers or products, and leave the rest where it is.
