OpenCart migration to a modern headless stack
OpenCart is easy at first, but it’s aging: an uneven extension ecosystem, limited scaling and poor performance on large catalogs. We move you to Sylius/Symfony + Next.js.
Why migrate off OpenCart
Extension quality varies a lot, updates are risky, and at higher traffic and larger catalogs performance and maintenance become real problems.
What you gain
A mature, extensible e-commerce core, a fast frontend and an architecture you can extend without relying on questionable extensions.
Migration steps
- 1
Audit & inventory
We analyze your OpenCart store: catalog, categories, URLs, integrations (couriers, invoicing, marketplace feeds), traffic and pain points. We set measurable goals.
- 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
Data export & mapping
We export products, categories, customers and orders from OpenCart and map them into the new data model, with integrity checks.
- 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
SEO: URL mapping + 301 redirects
We map all old URLs 1:1 and set up 301 redirects, so you don’t lose Google rankings or organic traffic.
- 6
Launch & optimization
A controlled cutover with real-time monitoring (goal: zero downtime), then continuous optimization and subscription maintenance.
