1. For Source Store & Target Store

If Source Store or Target Store is self-hosted:

• Please ensure you have the right permission to upload files.

• It must not block access from any third party IP.

• Source Store and Target Store can operate normally during migration as it requires a very limited resource for the process.

• PHP Compatibility: PHP 4.x or later.

• It is strongly recommended to backup Target Store first.

If Source Store or Target Store is SaaS (example: Shopify, Bigcommerce, Volusion … )

• Please ensure you have the permission to login backend of these stores.

Step 2: Target Cart Setup

Target Cart Setup should be similar to Source Cart setup. Please read the above section for details.

Step 3: Migration Configuration

• Languages Mapping: If your Source Cart is multilingual, corresponding languages ( or storeviews) should be available in Target Store. You may need to create additional languages in Target Store to avoid data loss.

• Currencies Mapping: Assign Source Cart currencies to proper Target Store currencies. Creating currencies in Target Store may be needed.

• Orders Status Mapping: Assign Source Cart order statuses to proper Target Store order statuses. Creating additional order statues in Target Store may be needed.

• Entities to Migrate: select all entities to migrate or just a part of them.

Additional Options:

• Migrate recent data: if you choose this option, it will migrate new data only. Supposed you have just finished a full migration from your current Source store to Target store, after that Source store is still live and continue getting new data, and you want to get your Target store updated with the new data, select this feature to avoid starting over again.

• Clear current data on Target Store before Migration: if you choose this option, all current products, categories, manufacturers, customers, orders, product reviews, taxes will be cleared.

• Migrate categories and products SEO URLs: if you choose this option, old SEF urls of source will be preserved in Target Store, allowing you to maintain your Pagerank.

• Transfer images in product descriptions to Target Store: download all images in product description into your store so that it won’t have to refer back to your source store or anywhere else for images.

• Preserve Customer IDs on Target Store: this will help you preserve your old Customer IDs for easier reference.

• Preserve Order IDs on Target Store: this will help you preserve your old Order IDs for easier reference
