Ecommerce Replatforming FAQs

The timeline of your replatforming project will depend on the scope and complexity of the work. For example, if your ecommerce website has few customisations and was built off a template, this will likely take less time to migrate than an ecommerce website for an enterprise business that is integrated with many third-party vendors. However, with the right partner for your ecommerce platform, even complex projects can be completed in a few weeks or months.

Ecommerce migration and ecommerce replatforming can be used interchangeably. They both refer to the process of moving an ecommerce site from one platform to another.

Some major considerations when you’re migrating to a new ecommerce platform include data migration, site design and third-party integrations. Another important area to note is change management, which is the approach all your different teams will take as you transition to a new platform. It’s critical to partner with a trusted ecommerce platform partner that is well-versed in all aspects of the replatforming process to help you to avoid pitfalls and ensure success.
