Legacy Modernisation for RetailTech -- UK Specifics
UK RetailTech Legacy Systems
Common UK retail legacy requiring modernisation: (1) Magento 1.x (EOL June 2020 -- 15-20% of UK mid-market retailers still running it), (2) WooCommerce on PHP 7.x (EOL November 2022 -- CE Plus A2 failure), (3) Hybris/SAP (expensive, slow -- UK enterprises migrating to headless), (4) legacy EPOS (proprietary hardware, no API), (5) legacy OMS (Excel/Access database -- cannot scale to omnichannel). Consumer Rights Act: legacy checkout often cannot enforce 14-day return right digitally -- a Consumer Duty risk.
Magento 1.x to Shopify Plus Migration
Magento 1.x EOL risks: zero security patches (PCI-DSS: considered EOL by PCI Security Council), no UK MTD VAT updates, no modern payment gateway support. Migration path: (1) data migration (products, customers, order history), (2) theme design (Shopify Liquid or Next.js headless), (3) payment integration (Stripe + GoCardless), (4) third-party integrations (ERP, logistics, loyalty). Timeline: 14-28 weeks. ClickMasters: 8 Magento 1.x to Shopify Plus migrations completed with zero order history loss.
WooCommerce PHP 7.x Remediation
PHP 7.4 EOL November 2022: (1) no security patches -- CE Plus A2 failure, (2) PCI-DSS 6.3.3 requirement for supported/patched software -- PHP 7.x fails, (3) newer WordPress requires PHP 8.0+. Options: (a) PHP 7.x to PHP 8.2 upgrade (test WooCommerce plugins with PHP_CodeSniffer + PHPStan before upgrade), (b) WooCommerce to Shopify migration if plugin dependencies are too complex. Upgrade first priority before adding any new features.
Legacy EPOS Modern Retail Integration
EPOS integration for omnichannel: (1) loyalty platform (scan loyalty at EPOS -- points awarded), (2) click and collect (EPOS receives online order for collection), (3) unified stock (EPOS stock movements synced to OMS), (4) staff management (clock in/out integrated with rota). Approach: EPOS vendor REST API if available, middleware data extraction if not, direct DB connection for reporting. Consumer Rights Act: EPOS must support 14-day return and refund to original payment method.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about retailtech software development.
Magento 1 to Shopify migration timeline?
Discovery and data assessment 2-3 weeks, Shopify Plus setup 4-6 weeks, data migration 3-5 weeks (parallel), payment integration 2-3 weeks, ERP integration 3-6 weeks (often critical path -- NetSuite/SAP alone 8-12 weeks), QA 2-3 weeks, launch 1-2 weeks. Total 14-28 weeks. Data migration -- cleansing and mapping legacy data -- typically 25-30% of total effort.
Does WooCommerce fail PCI-DSS?
PHP 7.4 EOL: PCI-DSS Requirement 6.3.3 requires all software to be supported and patched. PHP 7.x = no patches = PCI-DSS 6.3.3 failure. CE Plus A2 also fails. HMRC MTD extensions require newer PHP. ClickMasters: PHP 7.x WooCommerce must be upgraded to PHP 8.2 as first priority -- before adding new features.
