Migrating your eCommerce site to a new platform involves transferring various types of data while understanding certain limitations. Here’s a breakdown of what a typical migration service includes and excludes:
What our migration service includes

Please note that the availability of certain data types for migration may vary depending on the capabilities and limitations of the source and target platforms. Detailed information about supported data types can be found in the Supported Entities section on our migration tool’s purchase page.
Additionally, we can migrate custom data from third-party modules, providing tailored solutions to meet your specific needs. Our team will assess your requirements and offer guidance on the data that can be migrated for your particular setup.
What our migration service does not include
While we handle the migration of your data, there are some elements that cannot be automatically transferred:
- Website Design: The visual design, CSS code, and layout of your current site cannot be automatically moved to the new platform. You will need to manually set up the theme and design on the new platform.
- Custom Functionalities: Any custom functionalities or plugins used on your current site will not be migrated. You may need to find equivalent apps or develop custom solutions to replicate these functionalities on the new platform.
