    The 30-day replatform: how to migrate without losing 12 months

    Sarah Johnson April 5, 2026

    Replatforming has a reputation for taking a year and breaking everything. It doesn't have to. Here's the playbook we use to ship in 30 days.

    Week 1 — Architecture • Map current data, integrations, and URL structure • Lock the migration scope (no scope creep allowed) • Stand up ClicksCloud blueprint with target catalog

    Week 2 — Migration • Migrate SKUs, customers, orders, and content • Preserve URL structure and 301 plan for SEO • Configure payments, tax, and shipping

    Week 3 — Build & integrate • Storefront polish, theming, and content • Integrate analytics, email, support, and any kept third-parties

    Week 4 — Test & launch • QA, soft launch with traffic shaping, then full cutover • 48-hour war room post-launch

    The trick isn't speed for its own sake. It's brutal scope discipline + a platform that doesn't fight you.
