Migrate your ecommerce from Magento to Commerce Layer

Gartner claims that, by 2024, organizations that have adopted a composable approach will outpace competition by 80% in the speed of new feature implementation.

Maybe you've already started a digital transformation toward composable by implementing a headless CMS, like Contentful or Contentstack.

Here are the key reasons to change Magento to Commerce Layer:

• Improve site performance.
  Faster checkout means more sales. It's that simple. But don't take our word for it. Customers who have switched to Commerce Layer from Magento have seen substantial improvements to their website performance. Our customers have seen ~25% improvements in checkout conversion rates as well as increases in AOV. Read the Werlabs case.
• Magento is expensive.
  Adobe fees add up quickly. Licensing costs priced at a percentage of GMV, required support contracts, and more all make Magento expensive. Additionally, Magento can use a lot of resources, which means more money for hosting costs and data use. Learn how SunGod migrated.
• Opt for simplicity over complexity.
  Magento is tough to learn and maintain. Your team will need specific technical skills just to keep pace with regular updates and maintenance. Getting Magento to run smoothly will take extra work.
• Customize your experience.
  Magento relies on community-maintained add-ons to support many of them. A lot of those are not great quality. Why risk it? With Commerce Layer's API-first approach, customizing your experience is central to our design. We have very few limitations when every feature we deliver starts as a public API. Review our docs.

Something our clients have seen work very well is partnering with a digital agency or systems integrator to help with the migration. If you want to meet one, get in touch. We have relationships with all the leading partners in the field and can find the best for you.

That said, we also know the work can be done in-house. Our documentation is the best in the market and we create a direct line of communication with our team to help you implement.

How do you plan the migration?

Every project is different, but we have identified some key principles to replatforming from Magento to Commerce Layer:

• Discovery
  We'll help you translate your feature requirements into an API-first approach and pick the best solution from our developer tools.
• Import your data
  We'll work with you to export your Magento data into a .csv, clean it and import it in Commerce Layer, for example via our CLI and Import API.
• Implement your business logic
  Commerce Layer offers unlimited options and we'll help you reproduce your current ecommerce operation logics, and improve on them.
• Progressive migration
  We advise you to select a small business unit or market and start to isolate the transactional layer there. This way you'll be able to learn while validating your projects. Commerce Layer is free for your to test live. Check out how Sumup did it.
• Utilize our micro-services
  Thanks to our API-first DNA, you can build the ideal composable stack around Commerce Layer.
