Why Teams Leave Magento

Enterprise PHP e-commerce platform (now Adobe Commerce). Large e-commerce operations with complex catalog and B2B needs, but these limitations push teams toward modern alternatives.

Requires beefy servers — very resource-hungry application

This is the most common reason teams migrate away from Magento. Next.js eliminates this issue entirely.

Development and maintenance costs are very high

With Next.js, hybrid rendering — ssg, ssr, isr, and client-side in one app.

Complex architecture requires specialized Magento developers

Modern architectures like Next.js are designed to avoid this from the ground up.

Open-source version lacks many features of paid Adobe Commerce

After migrating, you'll no longer need to worry about this — Next.js takes a fundamentally different approach.

What Next.js Brings to the Table

React framework for production with SSR, SSG, and API routes. Built with JavaScript/TypeScript (React), it's production web apps and content sites needing flexible rendering strategies.

Hybrid rendering — SSG, SSR, ISR, and client-side in one app

Most popular React framework with massive community

Built-in image optimization, API routes, and middleware

Optimized for Vercel but deploys anywhere (Node.js, Docker)

Next.js is open-source and free to use. You own your code and data with no vendor lock-in. Deploy to any host that supports JavaScript/TypeScript, or use managed platforms like Vercel and Netlify for zero-config deployments.

Is Magento to Next.js the Right Move for You?

Migrating from Magento to Next.js makes the most sense if you're experiencing requires beefy servers — very resource-hungry application or outgrowing Magento's architecture. Next.js is best for production web apps and content sites needing flexible rendering strategies.

You should migrate if: your Magento site is slow, your hosting costs are climbing, your store needs a custom frontend, or you want to adopt a modern JAMstack architecture.

You might want to stay if: your Magento site benefits from extremely flexible product catalog — handles complex b2b and b2c and you don't have JavaScript/TypeScript developers on your team.

The migration itself is straightforward with LeaveWP — enter your Magento URL, select Next.js, and download your content. The more important question is whether Next.js's architecture fits your team's skills and your project's long-term needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to migrate from Magento to Next.js?

Magento migrations are more complex due to product data, customer records, and order history. Expect 1-3 hours for a typical site. Simpler sites finish faster, while large sites with custom functionality may need additional configuration.

Will I lose my SEO rankings when migrating from Magento?

No. We help you set up proper 301 redirects from your old Magento URLs to preserve search rankings. Next.js actually tends to improve Core Web Vitals scores, which can boost rankings over time.

What Magento content can be migrated to Next.js?

Products, categories, customer data, blog posts, and pages can all be migrated. Order history and payment configurations will need manual setup on Next.js since those are platform-specific.

Do I need JavaScript/TypeScript experience to migrate?

No coding experience is required for the migration itself — LeaveWP handles the export and conversion automatically. However, customizing your Next.js site afterward will benefit from JavaScript/TypeScript (React) knowledge. For teams without that expertise, the generated code is well-structured and documented, making it approachable for developers of any level.

How much does it cost to host a Next.js site after migrating from Magento?

Next.js sites can be deployed to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or any Node.js host — often on generous free tiers. Compared to Magento's Free (open source) / $22K+/year (Adobe Commerce) pricing, static Next.js sites can be hosted for free on Vercel or Netlify (up to generous bandwidth limits), which is significantly cheaper than running a PHP server.

Can I migrate Magento custom fields and metadata to Next.js?

Product attributes, variants, and custom metadata are mapped during migration. Next.js-specific fields (like React pages/components, API routes) can be configured after the initial export to match your catalog structure.
