03 — Before & After

What Slows You Down Today — And What Changes After the Move

Where you are now

  • ❌ Front end and back end locked together, so every redesign means a full replatform
  • ❌ Marketing wants a new landing experience; engineering says it needs a full release cycle
  • ❌ Every checkout, catalog, and content change ships as one monolithic deploy
  • ❌ Scaling for a sale means scaling the entire application, not just the storefront

Where you land

  • ✅ Storefront built as an independent layer, decoupled from commerce logic and deployed on its own schedule
  • ✅ Marketing ships new pages without waiting on a backend release
  • ✅ Catalog, cart, and checkout each scale and update on their own schedule
  • ✅ Traffic spikes hit the front end only — order and inventory services stay untouched
04 — What The Migration Covers

The Work Inside a Headless Migration

01

Architecture Audit

We map your current catalog, order flow, and integrations before designing the decoupled version.

02

API Layer Design

A commerce API sits between storefront and backend, so front-end changes never touch order logic.

03

Storefront Rebuild

The new front end is rebuilt as an independent layer that matches your brand and checkout flow.

04

Data Migration

Products, customers, and order history move without gaps in inventory or price records.

05

Integration Reconnection

Payment gateways, ERP, CRM, and shipping providers are reconnected through the new API layer.

06

Staged Cutover

We run old and new storefronts in parallel, then switch traffic once QA passes on every flow.

05 — Our Approach

Why We Migrate in Slices, Not One Big Bang

Most failed migrations we've seen try to rebuild the entire storefront and cut over on a single date. We build the API layer first, put a single category or landing page behind it, and validate performance and checkout accuracy before moving the rest of the catalog.

This slice-by-slice approach is the same discipline behind our e-commerce platform development work: prove the pattern on a small surface area, then repeat it across the full site with confidence instead of guesswork.

Every migration runs on a consistent, production-matched infrastructure, so staging and production stay identical — the environment that passes QA is the exact environment your customers hit at launch.

07 — Real Projects

Two Projects That Show the Pattern

ASKO Stroy — Construction Materials, B2B

A Decoupled B2B Storefront

We built a construction materials e-commerce platform with B2B pricing tiers and bulk ordering, keeping the storefront independent from pricing and inventory services so sales teams could update terms without a redeploy.

Evo Long — Logistics

A Real-Time Dashboard on Its Own API

Our team delivered a logistics management dashboard with real-time fleet tracking, connected through a dedicated API layer — the same pattern we use to separate a storefront from its commerce backend during a migration.

08 — Your Roadmap

How a Migration Moves From Audit to Launch

1

Audit & Scope

We map the current platform and return a fixed-price, fixed-deadline proposal within 48 hours.

2

API & Storefront Build

Design sprints followed by building the new independent storefront, with weekly demos so you see progress early.

3

Parallel Run & Cutover

Old and new storefronts run side by side until QA clears every checkout path, then we switch traffic over.

Published case timelines: a Growth online store has shipped in 10 weeks and a Growth platform in 11 weeks; an Enterprise project took 14 weeks. These are real cases, not a guaranteed deadline — the exact schedule is fixed in your proposal.

FAQ

Headless Commerce Migration Questions

What teams ask before moving off a monolithic platform

Timelines depend on catalog size and integrations, but published cases give a benchmark: a Growth-tier online store has shipped in 10 weeks, a Growth-tier platform in 11 weeks, and an Enterprise project took 14 weeks. Your exact schedule is confirmed in a fixed-price proposal after the initial audit, not estimated upfront.
No. We run the old and new storefronts in parallel and only switch traffic over once QA has verified every checkout, catalog, and payment flow on the new setup. This staged cutover is designed specifically to avoid downtime or lost orders during the transition.
Products, customers, and order history are migrated directly, with checks in place to prevent gaps in inventory counts or price records. Data migration runs as its own step in the process, validated before the new storefront goes live for customers.
We start every project with an architecture audit that maps your current catalog, order flow, and integrations, regardless of which monolithic platform you're on today. That audit determines exactly what needs to move and how the new decoupled setup should be structured.
Within 48 hours of the initial consultation, you receive a detailed scope with a fixed price and a written deadline. There's no obligation to proceed — the audit is designed to give you a clear, accurate picture before any commitment is made.
Yes. Payment gateways, ERP, CRM, and shipping providers are reconnected through a new API layer that sits between the storefront and backend, so these integrations keep functioning without requiring changes on the provider side.
That's one of the main goals of the migration. Once the storefront is decoupled, marketing can ship new pages and landing experiences independently, without waiting for a backend release cycle, while checkout and order logic stay untouched.
