Drupal 7 Ubercart to Drupal 10 Commerce
CodeLift rebuilt and migrated the Drupal 7 Ubercart e-commerce to a Drupal 10 Commerce website. The migration included over 100 configurable products, quote workflows, and content.
Working with CodeLift's team made the daunting task of upgrading from Drupal 7 to 10 an easy and seamless process. We were impressed by their communication throughout the whole process and their ability to modernize our site, while keeping our design and content.

Migration Approach
Ubercart to Commerce Migration
We executed a structured migration from Ubercart (Drupal 7) to Drupal Commerce, adhering closely to the original architecture. This ensured the preservation of existing business logic, order workflows, and operational continuity.
Local Infrastructure Replication
The complete production environment was replicated in a controlled local infrastructure. This allowed for remote development and testing without dependency on live systems.
Video-First Communication
Regular video conferences provided a direct and effective channel for requirements gathering, progress validation, and feedback loops. This ensured alignment between stakeholders across geographies throughout the project lifecycle.
AI-Powered Code Refactoring
Artificial intelligence was employed to refactor and modernize custom modules and legacy code. This enabled a smooth transition from Drupal 7 to Drupal 10, while maintaining functional parity and aligning with current development standards.
Rebuild of Quote System and Product Listings
The quote request system, along with more than 100 product nodes, was fully rebuilt in Drupal 10. All field-level structures and configurations were carried over to preserve data integrity and usability.
Visual Regression Testing
Automated regression testing across 40+ screens was implemented using screenshot-based validation. Identified discrepancies were remediated prior to launch, ensuring functional and visual accuracy.
Pixel-Perfect E-commerce Rebuild
Cram-A-Lot's site was rebuilt on Drupal 10+ with zero downtime - delivering an identical look and feel with stronger security, modern maintainability, and seamless continuity. Core business functions such as quote requests, product logic, and admin workflows remained fully intact.

Post-launch issues
Cram-A-Lot is our first U.S.-based client, which makes this project particularly special for us. We managed communication through regular video calls and successfully replicated Cram-A-Lot's server infrastructure on our local systems, enabling us to carry out the upgrade remotely.
