- The migration process consists of 4 phases:Theme migration: In order to deliver enhanced shopping and store experience, new technologies and methodologies are introduced in Magento 2. You can create new awesome themes or modify your current theme to make it compatible with the new Magento standards. However, you cannot directly transfer the current theme onto the new one; rather you need to make a new theme and make it responsive for the best user experience.
- Customization: The custom codes you are using for Magento 1 are compatible with the new version. Magento comes with a code migration toolkit that helps you to integrate the custom codes successfully into the new version.
- Extension migration: Extensions are very significant components, which provide extended functionalities and new features for your Magento store. You need to install the Magento 2 extensions. As your older extensions will not be compatible with new Magento version, you need to install only the relevant extensions.
- Data migration: This is the last thing you need to do during the migration process. With the Data Migration Tool, you can successfully migrate the orders, categories, settings, products, and store configurations to the new version.
