Magento 2 Migration for Juno Showers

We have been working with Juno Showers for the last 6 years. Their initial store was developed by us on Magento 1.7 and we were also in charge of security upgrade and maintenance of the store.

We are a Magento development agency in India and developing online stores with Magento since 2011.

In July this year (2019), they showed interest to migrate their online store to Magento 2 knowing the fact the official support for the Magento 1 platform is scheduled to end in June 2020. It was a good idea to plan the migration at this point instead of pushing it to the end.

Scope of the Magento 2 Migration Process

1. Upgrade from Magento 1.9.x to Magento 2.3.x

The first step towards the migration was upgrading the Magento core itself to Magento 2.3.x. We started with a fresh setup of Magento 2 on our local server to begin the migration.  

2. Migrate Complete store data 

As a second step towards migration, we migrated complete store data to the new Magento 2 setup. It included migration of - 

- Customers & Subscribers

- Orders, Invoice & Shipments 

- Product Categories & Products

- Tax Rules

- CMS Pages & Blocks

- Store Configuration

3. Develop a new custom Magento 2 theme 

Juno Showers was initially built on a ready-made theme in Magento 1 and we experienced several issues with performance optimization. We wanted to avoid all those issues with new platform and a custom theme was a better option to keep complete control on the resources and libraries included in the theme. 

At the same time, we also wanted to improve on the UI & UX of the store along with some performance optimization. See below a snapshot of the store to see visual differences.

- Onestep Checkout Extension

- SEO Toolkit

- Reward Points

- RMA
