Audit

Prior to migrating online stores to MedusaJS and rendering related services, it is vital to get an in-depth understanding of the requirements surrounding design, functionality, integrations, and, ultimately, time and budget constraints, as these will impact the scope of the project.

With this in mind, prior to rendering MedusaJS migration services, our engineers conduct an all-round audit:

MedusaJS Migration Service for Your Database

Primary migration

It all starts with the primary database migration: our developers analyze the existing platform's database structure and develop custom migration scripts to transfer data to MedusaJS's PostgreSQL database, while documenting all transformations and ensuring zero data loss.

Once done, we provide you with access to our staging environment where you can review everything to make sure the migration went smoothly. We set up a comprehensive data validation process to verify integrity across all entities.

Delta migration

To safeguard uninterrupted flow of your business processes, Askan Tech keeps the source site alive while we provide MedusaJS migration services and end users keep making changes in the source system. Continuous data synchronization between source and target is vital.

Once the functionality and design are ready and you're prepared to make the switch, we run the delta migration process through automated scripts that compare source and destination databases, transferring incremental changes made since the primary migration:

New orders

New customers

New orders and transactions

Customer registrations and profile updates

Product additions and modifications

Inventory changes

New content and media

Admin operations and configuration changes

We also manually migrate the following data by request:

Custom media organization

Admin user accounts with specific permissions

Historical analytics and reporting data

MedusaJS Functionality Migration

Since MedusaJS has fundamentally different architecture from Magento 2, WooCommerce, or Shopify, functionality cannot be "migrated" in the traditional sense—it must be recreated using MedusaJS's modern plugin system.

Our engineers analyze every feature of your current store and implement equivalent or improved functionality on MedusaJS, ensuring you retain all critical capabilities while gaining new possibilities.

Functionality Migration Process

1. Plugin Installation
Analyze all existing Magento 1 extensions to identify which have direct Magento 2 equivalents, which need alternatives, and which require custom development to replicate functionality.
2. Plugin Customization
We extend and customize existing MedusaJS plugins to match your specific requirements, maintaining upgrade compatibility while adding custom features.
3. Custom Plugin Development
Askan Tech develops custom MedusaJS plugins from scratch to cover functionality that isn't supported by existing solutions—leveraging MedusaJS's extensible architecture.
4. API Integration
For complex features, we build custom API integrations that connect MedusaJS with specialized third-party services or your existing internal systems..

Retaining integrations

Retaining existing integrations when rendering MedusaJS migration services involves recreating connections with third-party solutions through MedusaJS's plugin system, native integrations, or custom-built connectors.
