To migrate data from or to a Shopify store using Next-Cart, you’ll need two things:
- Your Store URL
- An Access Token (generated via the official Next‑Cart Store Migration app)
This guide will walk you through the process step by step:
Generate Access Token
- Log in to your Shopify admin.
- Install the Next-Cart Store Migration app on your Shopify store.
*Note: This app is used to securely generate an Access Token for migration. - Open the app, then click Generate Access Token under Use this app as a Connector.
*Note: If the Migration Dashboard is displayed instead, click Change Usage in the top bar to open the usage selection screen, then choose Use this app as a Connector. - On the Access Token Setup screen, click Generate. Your Access Token will be displayed only once.
- Save the Access Token securely, then copy your Store URL and Access Token and paste them into the Next-Cart migration tool.
Important Notes
- Never share your Access Token with anyone you don’t trust.
- If you lose the token, or if the token is exposed, simply uninstall and reinstall the app to generate a new one.
- By default, customer notifications are turned off during the migration. You can also turn off admin notifications in Settings > Notifications > Staff notifications.
- We recommend disabling any third-party shipping or email apps on your Shopify store, to ensure they do not trigger emails to your customers when orders are imported.
