How Migration Tool Works

This is the instruction describing how our migration tool works. It will be helpful in case you want to run a demo migration before buying our service; otherwise, you can perform a self-migration after purchasing.

1. Source and target carts setup

The methods apply similarly to both source cart and target cart.

  • For open-source carts: Select the cart type of your website and paste its URL into the appropriate field. After that, download the Kitconnect package that allows establishing connections between the migration tool and your carts. Unzip the package and copy the entire Kitconnect folder into your store’s root folder.
  • For cloud-based Carts: Select the cart type of your website and paste its URL into the appropriate field. After that, fill the API credentials onto the appropriate fields. The instruction link of How to obtain your API credentials is below the form.
  • For carts that use files: Select the cart type of your website and paste its URL into the appropriate field. After that, choose the corresponding files to upload.

2. Entities and options selection

Select the entities you want to migrate, such as products, orders, customers… You can customize the migration with the Additional Options. Don’t forget to map the important attributes inside the Advanced Attributes Mapping section.

3. Full migration

After finishing valid configurations at the second step, click Next Step button, a dialogue will show up to get the confirmation to start the migration process. Keep your browser open during the migration. When you receive the CONGRATULATIONS message, that means your shopping cart is successfully migrated.
