Frequently Asked Questions

What you need to know before migrating your store data from WordPress to Joomla!.

Should I select Joomla! for a store that uses a shopping-cart extension?

Choose the connection for the shopping-cart extension, such as J2Store, eShop or Phoca Cart, rather than plain Joomla!. The Joomla! connection handles supported users and articles but does not enable products or orders as source or destination. Selecting the correct extension is necessary to access its catalog and order migration capabilities.

Select WooCommerce when your store's product catalog is managed by WooCommerce. The plain WordPress connection does not enable product migration as source or destination. Other WordPress shopping-cart plugins have their own connections where available; choose the one that matches the store rather than relying on the CMS name alone.

Not exactly. The default Joomla! import puts the article body into intro text, leaves full text empty and selects the first supplied category. Review read-more placement and category organization after import, especially if the source allows a post to belong to several categories.

The migration reads Yoast SEO and Rank Math post metadata, but converts recognized title placeholders into text and removes some other tokens. It does not transfer the source plugin's dynamic template engine. Review the resulting titles and descriptions in the destination's SEO system.

The standard page selection excludes trash, auto-drafts and inherited records, as well as WooCommerce system pages and pages referenced by certain page-setting entries. Cart, checkout and account pages should therefore be reviewed and configured on the destination instead of assumed to migrate as ordinary content pages.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
