Migration off InSales

Gembox - moving a store from InSales to its own engine

Gembox.ru sells things you cannot buy in Russia: from levitating pens to kinetic sand sculptures. The store ran on InSales and hit the platform ceiling. We moved the catalog, orders, and customers to an own Next.js + PostgreSQL engine, wired payments, fiscal receipts, delivery, and inventory into one system, and switched the domain without stopping sales. Code, data, and documentation were handed to the owner.

1,319 products
Catalog migrated
1,318 of 1,318
URLs under 301
15 minutes
Stock from MoySklad

Challenge

Leave InSales without losing a single URL, order, or customer, and get a store that can be developed without platform limits. A separate requirement: the admin panel had to stay familiar to staff who had worked in InSales for years.

IMPLEMENTATION STAGES

What we built

01

Migrated a catalog of 1,319 products and 81 brands, the order history, and the customer base; the reconciliation with the InSales export matched line by line.

02

301 redirects from every old product URL: 1,318 out of 1,318, with sitemap and meta preserved.

03

Payments via Modulbank (card, SBP), Yandex Pay and Split, cash on delivery and invoices for companies; 54-FZ fiscal receipts for payment and refund.

04

CDEK delivery: rates, pickup points, a waybill from the order card, statuses.

05

Two-way sync with MoySklad: stock every 15 minutes, prices hourly, order and status export; an order is never lost when the inventory system is down.

06

An admin panel in the familiar InSales layout: orders, customer card, promo codes, gift cards, bonuses, push notifications about new orders, courier PDF export.

07

Deployed on a dedicated VPS in Russia, zero-downtime releases, one-command rollback, nightly database backups with a restore test.

08

Handed over the repository with architecture, deployment, and operations docs, including staff instructions and a guide for working with AI agents.

RESULT
1,319 products
Catalog migrated

81 brands, order history, and customers reconciled with the InSales export line by line.

1,318 of 1,318
URLs under 301

Old product URLs lead to the new ones in a single hop; sitemap and meta preserved.

15 minutes
Stock from MoySklad

Stock refreshes every 15 minutes, prices hourly, paid orders flow into inventory.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

What keeps the migration safe for sales

01

Line-by-line reconciliation

Catalog, order history, and customers were checked against the InSales export by counts and financial totals, Cyrillic intact.

02

Redirect map

1,502 rules; old product URLs return a single-hop 301: 1,318 out of 1,318 on the pre-handover check.

03

Money and receipts

Modulbank, Yandex Pay, Split, cash, and company invoices; 54-FZ receipts via ModulKassa, full and per-line refunds from the order card.

04

Inventory without losses

MoySklad pulls stock and prices and receives paid orders and statuses; when it is down the order waits in a queue instead of disappearing.

05

Operations

VPS in Russia, HTTP/2, WebP/AVIF, zero-downtime releases, one-command rollback, nightly backups to a separate machine with a restore test.
