Extension compatibility matrix
Every one of your extensions and custom modules rated ready, needs an update, or needs replacing.
The Problem
Your Magento Release Stopped Getting Security Patches
Every Magento release line gets about three years of Adobe support. When yours ends, the store keeps working, but each new security fix skips it.
01 · No patches
Your 2.4 release no longer gets Adobe's security fixes.
We move your store to 2.4.9, which Adobe supports until May 2029.
02 · Extensions
Nobody knows which extensions will survive the upgrade.
A compatibility matrix lists each extension as ready, needing an update, or replaced.
03 · Downtime
The last upgrade broke checkout for two days.
A timed rehearsal on staging sets a short cutover window you approve.
04 · Magento 1
Magento 1 stopped getting security fixes in June 2020.
Adobe's Data Migration Tool moves your data while we rebuild theme and modules.
You put off the upgrade because the last one broke checkout for two days. Now your store runs 2.4.6, and Adobe's standard support for it ended on August 11, 2026. Your payment extension's newest version needs a later release. Your host wants to retire the old PHP version. Every quote you get is different, and none explains which of your extensions will survive. If you're still on Magento 1, the same story started back in June 2020.
We start by cloning your store to staging and listing every extension, custom module, and theme override against the target release. That compatibility matrix decides the plan and the price. Then we rehearse the full upgrade on staging, time it, and fix what breaks. Your live store keeps selling until a cutover window you approve, so the risky part happens on a copy, not on customers.
Compatibility matrix first
Every extension and custom module is checked against the target release before we quote a price.
A rehearsed cutover
We run the full upgrade on staging and time it, so the live window holds no surprises.
Supported until 2029
Your store lands on 2.4.9, the newest line on Adobe's standard support calendar.
Our Magento 2 Upgrade and Migration Process
From Compatibility Audit to Cutover in Five Steps
You see which extensions survive before you approve a price, review the upgraded store on staging, and pick the cutover window yourself.
We look at your current version, hosting, extension count, and custom code on a short call. You get a first estimate and a straight answer on whether upgrading or leaving Magento makes more sense for your store.
What's Included
What You Get From Our Magento 2 Upgrade Services
Every upgrade and migration covers the same six parts, sized to your store: audit, platform upgrade, extensions, theme, testing, and a rehearsed cutover.
Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs DIY Upgrade vs Generic Agency
A small store with few extensions can follow Adobe's upgrade guide in-house. A generic agency may quote a rebuild. Magento upgrade services fit when your extensions and custom code decide the risk.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built online stores and websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Magento Stores Trust Us With a Version Jump
A Magento 2 upgrade service goes wrong in predictable places: your extensions, your custom code, and the cutover night. These habits keep those places quiet.
Audit before any price
We price the upgrade only after the compatibility matrix is done. Your quote reflects your extensions, not a guess from a sales call.
Rehearse the whole run
We run the full upgrade twice on staging and time the second run. You know how long the live window takes before you book it.
A rollback ready every time
Each cutover starts with a fresh backup and written rollback steps. If something fails live, your old store returns within the window.
Every replacement documented
When one of your extensions gets replaced, we record why and what changed in the admin. Your team learns the new screens before launch.
Upgrade or leave, honestly
If your store would cost less to run on another platform, we'll say so before quoting an upgrade. Sometimes leaving Magento is the cheaper answer.
Your code and your data
The repository, database, and hosting stay in your company's name throughout. Any Magento developer can maintain the store after we finish.
Overview
How does a Magento 2 migration service work?
DeveloperLook runs a Magento 2 migration service for Magento 1 stores and upgrades older 2.4 stores to 2.4.9. We audit every extension against the target release, upgrade with Composer, move Magento 1 data with Adobe's Data Migration Tool, and rehearse the cutover on staging. Upgrades start at $1,350 and take 2 to 12 weeks.

Good fit
Stores still running Magento 1
You've kept Magento 1 running past its end of life, and you need a Magento 2 migration service before your host or payment provider drops the setup.
Stores on 2.4.6 or older
Your store runs 2.4.6 or a 2.3 release, Adobe stopped patching it, and you need a Magento 2 upgrade before an audit or a breach forces one.
Stores with heavy extension stacks
You run dozens of extensions, and every agency gives a different answer about which ones will survive the move to 2.4.9.
Adobe Commerce teams planning ahead
Your Adobe Commerce store runs 2.4.7, and you want the next upgrade scheduled well before its support ends in May 2027.
Agencies short on upgrade capacity
Your agency has several client stores to upgrade this year and needs a team that runs them under your brand with fixed quotes.
Not a fit
Only monthly patching
Your store already runs a supported release and only needs patches and updates. Our Magento Support and Maintenance plans cover that each month.
Moving to Shopify
You've decided to leave Magento rather than upgrade it. Our Magento to Shopify Migration team moves your products, customers, and orders to Shopify.
Only new features
Your release is current and you want new modules or a redesign. Our Magento Development Services team quotes that as project work.
Budget under $1,350
Your budget for the upgrade is under $1,350. A store with a few extensions may follow Adobe's upgrade guide in-house first.

With DeveloperLook, a Magento 2 migration service starts at $1,350 for upgrades within Magento 2 and $8,900 for a move from Magento 1. Stores on 2.4.6 or older start at $3,800. That Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration cost covers your data move, up to 6 rebuilt custom modules, and a new theme. Your fixed price follows the compatibility audit.
A Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration takes 8 to 12 weeks for most stores. Your data move itself takes days, but rebuilding your theme and custom modules fills most of the schedule. Upgrades within Magento 2 are faster: 2 to 3 weeks from a supported release, and 4 to 6 weeks from 2.4.6 or older.
Yes, if you plan to stay on Magento, because Magento 1 has received no security fixes from Adobe since June 2020. Taking card payments on an unpatched store also puts your PCI compliance at risk. If your catalog is small, compare the migration with a move to a hosted platform first, since both take similar effort.
The main reason is security: Magento 1 gets no patches, so every new vulnerability on your store stays open. Magento 2 also brings current PHP versions, faster indexing, a modern admin, and REST and GraphQL APIs for your ERP or PIM. Most extension vendors stopped updating their Magento 1 versions years ago.
Upgrade to Magento 2 when you rely on what Magento does well: complex catalogs, B2B pricing, several store views, and full control of your code. Move platforms when you mostly need a simple store with low running costs. We'll compare both before you commit, and our Magento to Shopify Migration team handles the move if you leave.
Now, if your store still runs Magento 1 or Magento 2.4.6 or older, because Adobe no longer patches either. Stores on 2.4.7 should plan their next upgrade before its standard support ends on May 31, 2027. Booking the work a few months early leaves time for extension vendors to ship compatible versions.
Plan for your extensions and custom code first, because Adobe's Data Migration Tool moves data, not themes or modules. List every extension you run and check for a Magento 2 version or a replacement. Freeze product and setting changes before the final data sync. And compare every old URL with its new path, so your rankings carry over.
No, not when the update is tested on staging first. Extension updates can change your database tables, layouts, or checkout steps, so we install them on a copy of your store and place test orders. Only updates that pass reach your live site, during a quiet window with a backup taken just before.
Your rankings hold when every old URL either stays the same or gets a 301 redirect to its new page. During a Magento 1 to Magento 2 move, we export all your old URLs, compare them with the new store, and add redirects for any path that changes. After launch we watch your Google Search Console for crawl errors.
You do. The upgraded code sits in a Git repository under your company's account, and your hosting and Adobe accounts stay in your name. We document every replaced extension and rebuilt module, so any Magento developer can maintain the store, or our support plans can take over.
