For Magento Open Source alternatives, migrate a difficult subset of the store, not only its homepage.
- Include configurable products, customer groups, promotions, taxes, and shipping rules.
- Place a sandbox order, then cancel, return, and partially refund it.
- Map custom modules, payment integrations, and inventory ownership.
- Compare performance under catalog and checkout load.
- Preserve product URLs, customer accounts, and order history with reconciliation.
A simpler platform may be a good choice, but only if business rules and historical records can move safely.
