Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Phoca Cart migration.

How are variant stock quantities handled when migrating to Phoca Cart?

When variants are converted into selectable product attributes, Next-Cart adds together the stock of the variants that share each option value. For example, M–Red with 5 units and M–Black with 10 units give Size M a quantity of 15. If the variants do not manage stock, the option values use the main product’s quantity instead.

This preserves quantities for individual choices, not a separate stock record for every original combination. Do not add the totals for Size and Color together: they describe the same inventory. Combination-specific SKUs and prices are not generally retained by this conversion. Ordinary source options use a separate import path.

Will Phoca Cart option combinations keep their own SKU and stock?

Not with the default export. It transfers ordinary attribute choices, but not the separate combination records containing SKUs, prices, images and quantities. Creating choices at the destination cannot recover those missing details. If you sell products with stock tracked by combination, agree the additional data handling and test it before migration.

Are product images copied to Phoca Cart?

Yes. For supported products, Next-Cart copies the supplied main image and gallery to Phoca Cart. Keep the original image links accessible and allow files to be written to the destination until you have checked the gallery. Images from extensions must be included in the source data. Images inside descriptions need the separate copying option, where available; check them before removing the old hosting.

Can I migrate the data myself, or can Next-Cart do it for me?

Available services depend on your migration path. Standard Migration lets you use the tool yourself with technical support. With Managed Migration, our technicians carry out the agreed migration. Custom Migration covers tailored requirements, with the migration carried out by you or our team as agreed. Data types must be supported by both connections; choosing expert handling does not by itself add unsupported data.

Can I try the migration before purchasing?

Where a self-service Demo Migration is available for your migration path, you can try it for free before purchasing. It transfers a small sample of supported data so you can check the result. Add-ons and custom work are not included in the self-service demo. For a file-based, custom or technician-assisted evaluation, contact us first to agree the test scope and any applicable cost.

How is the migration cost calculated?

Your data types and quantities determine the Entity Points total and the plan you need. The cost also depends on your chosen service, add-ons, and any custom work. Use the pricing calculator for an estimate; custom work is reviewed and quoted separately.

Can my current store keep accepting orders during the migration?

If you are migrating from a live store, it can normally keep taking orders while Next-Cart copies its data. The migration does not delete or change the source data. Plan the final update and the switch to the new store separately so recent orders and other changes are included. For file-based migrations, changes made after an export require a fresh export; an uploaded file is not a live connection to the store.

Can I repeat the migration or transfer new and updated data later?

Yes. Your license allows repeat runs for the same store and migration path for 12 months from purchase, within your plan’s data limit. Continuing the previous migration can add eligible new records without importing the same mapped records again.

Changing records already migrated is separate: the paid Data Update add-on can update selected fields where your source, target version and those fields are supported. Keep the existing migration links and leave target-data clearing off. It does not automatically update every field or provide continuous synchronization.

Can I upgrade my plan or service after purchasing?

Yes. While your license is valid, you can increase your plan’s data limit and upgrade to a higher service where it is available for your migration path. You can move from Standard Migration to Managed Migration or Custom Migration, or from Managed Migration to Custom Migration.

If you already use Custom Migration, you can add custom work after a review and quote. You pay only the additional amount, and your license expiry date stays the same.
