MerchantPro migration to your own headless stack

MerchantPro is a closed SaaS platform — good at the start, but limited in customization and with lock-in. When you want real control, we move you to your own stack: Sylius/Symfony + Next.js.

Why migrate off MerchantPro

On a closed SaaS you don’t own the code or infrastructure, customization is limited to what the platform allows, and as you grow you hit its ceilings.

What’s specific about migrating off MerchantPro

MerchantPro is a closed SaaS: you don’t have direct database access, only exports and what the platform allows. We extract the catalog, customers and orders through available means (export/feed), map the URL structure for 301 redirects and rebuild the customizations the platform didn’t allow.

  • Extraction via export/feed (no direct DB access)
  • URL structure mapped for 301 redirects
  • Customizations impossible on SaaS, now possible

What you gain

You fully own the store — code, data, infrastructure — with the freedom to model any flow and integrate any service, on a fast Next.js frontend.

Migration steps

  1. 1

    Audit & inventory

    We analyze your MerchantPro store: catalog, categories, URLs, integrations (couriers, invoicing, marketplace feeds), traffic and pain points. We set measurable goals.

  2. 2

    Migration plan & architecture

    We propose the headless architecture (Sylius/Symfony + Next.js), the data migration plan and the SEO strategy to keep your rankings. You get a clear estimate and timeline.

  3. 3

    Data export & mapping

    We export the catalog, customers and orders from MerchantPro and map them into the new data model, keeping URLs for 301 redirects.

  4. 4

    Backend + frontend development

    We build the Sylius/Symfony backend and the Next.js frontend, with incremental deliveries and a staging environment you can test.

  5. 5

    SEO: URL mapping + 301 redirects

    We map all old URLs 1:1 and set up 301 redirects. The stated goal: zero organic-traffic loss, tracked in Search Console after launch.

  6. 6

    Launch & optimization

    A controlled cutover with real-time monitoring (goal: zero downtime), then continuous optimization and subscription maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

On a closed SaaS you don’t own the code or infrastructure, customization is limited to what the platform allows, and as you grow you hit its ceilings. Your own stack gives full control and no lock-in.

Yes. We use the available exports and feeds to extract the catalog, customers and orders, then map them cleanly into the new data model.

Yes. We map current URLs 1:1 and set 301 redirects to the new pages, with monitoring after launch.

Yes — that’s the point. On Sylius/Symfony you can model any business flow and integrate any service, without the limits of a closed SaaS.
