Initially, the store was working in OSCommerce until the founders faced intractable problems with website updating. Then they decided to switch to Magento 2. The platform was a brilliant solution because it could handle large, highly customisable e-commerce stores.
We planned and carried out Magento migration services for them, mitigating any issues we had foreseen.
Additionally, we implemented the new design of the Magento store.
The vast dataset is stored on dedicated and secured servers – we created a separate front-end interface and integrated it with the Magento system. We also helped to configure the server clusters and implemented a zero-downtime-time deployment process.
The store has a target audience spanning all time zones, the traffic of the website is nearly 400K/month, and the daily number of orders is about 600, so this store must remain online at all times. To ensure continuous operation and reliability, we also provide ongoing Magento maintenance and support.
The devs are top-notch. These guys implemented my website when probably 5-7 other agencies/freelancers failed! You can get Paul on a Zoom/Google Meet call anytime, and he is very open to discussion. If you're not happy with something, he's out there to fix it for you and will make it happen.

One of the project requirements was to make the Shopper Approved integration. Usually, we would simply implement the widget on the front-end; however, in this case, we were tasked to reduce the website loading speed, so we suggested adding the server-side integration with daily parsing of reviews and FAQ.
After a successful transaction, the system needed to show a download link for the user. SalesForce’s real-time integration made this process more cumbersome: each payment was required to be processed via SalesForce. It meant the link would be shown to the user only after the data in SalesForce was created. In general, the user would have to wait 20-30 seconds on checkout before the link is generated.
We overcame this obstacle with the custom SalesForce sync; therefore, we refused the real-time integration favoring the user’s convenience.
All service and marketing emails were transferred to a separate queue to make the entire website work faster.
As a part of the integration, Feedonomics provided the script for the database sync. For a store having 360,000 items in the inventory, this poses a problem. In our case, the script execution time equaled approximately 9 hours, and it increased server load.
We created a custom script for Feedonomics to use; the execution of the script was reduced to 20 minutes only.
The store now runs on Magento 2 with zero downtime, handling a 360,000-product catalogue and around 600 orders a day across every time zone. The migration off OsCommerce went through without the site going dark, which was the whole point given an audience that’s always online somewhere.
The performance gains were concrete. The Feedonomics database sync that used to take roughly nine hours and strain the servers now finishes in about 20 minutes. The post-purchase download link, which once left customers waiting 20 to 30 seconds at checkout, is now near-instant after we replaced the real-time Salesforce dependency with a custom sync and moved service and marketing emails to a separate queue. The server-side ShopperApproved integration brought in reviews and FAQs without dragging down load speed.
With secured dedicated servers, clustered infrastructure, and a zero-downtime deployment process in place, the store stays fast and reliable as it grows. We continue to keep it that way through ongoing Magento maintenance and support.

Everything you need to know about working with MageCloud.
Migrating an osCommerce store to Magento 2 involves transferring products, customers, orders, and other business data while preserving store functionality and minimizing downtime. An experienced Magento team can also migrate custom features, redesign the storefront, and ensure the new store is optimized for performance and scalability.
Magento development agencies like MageCloud provide end-to-end osCommerce to Magento migration services. They handle data migration, custom development, third-party integrations, testing, and post-launch support to ensure a smooth transition with minimal business disruption.
Large eCommerce stores are typically migrated using staged deployments, dedicated infrastructure, and zero-downtime deployment processes. This approach allows the new Magento store to go live without interrupting customer access or affecting ongoing sales.
Magento maintenance and support help keep your store secure, fast, and reliable. Regular updates, performance optimization, security improvements, and proactive monitoring ensure your Magento store continues to perform well as traffic, products, and business requirements grow.
