A complete migration process at Next-Cart consists of 3 stages:

1. Initially, we use the migration tool to transfer all data from the Source Store to the Target Store.
2. Subsequently, you can inspect the results on the Target Store. If any issues arise, our technicians will address them and help you perform the migration again.
3. Finally, when the Target Store is ready to go live, we use the migration tool to transfer new data (products, customers, orders, blog posts, etc.) that hasn't been previously migrated to the Target Store.

For more detail, please refer to this article: https://next-cart.com/faq/what-are-the-stages-of-a-complete-migration-process-at-next-cart/

Firstly, you need to identify the amount of data for the migration. Particularly, you should be aware of what kind of data you want to migrate and how many of them. Therefore, we coined the term "Entity Limit" calculated based on the highest entity number among the count of products, orders, customers and blog posts.

All migration tools share the same price regarding the Entity Limit option. E.g. you want to migrate 900 products, 900 customers, 1,000 orders and other related data, your highest entity number would be 1,000, giving you an option of 1,000 Entity Limit to select from and the price would be 69 USD.

For more detail, please read this instruction: https://next-cart.com/faq/how-to-calculate-the-entity-limit-of-my-store/

At Next-Cart, we only count the number of products, customers, orders, and blog posts you want to migrate. For example, if you only want to move active products and orders since 2017, you will calculate the Entity Limit based on the number of those products and orders.

Any custom requests to filter entities for migration will be considered as one custom job, regardless of the criteria used.

However, please note that custom requests to limit entities must be made before the migration process begins. Once the migration has started, the IDs of the entities will be counted towards the Entity Limit and cannot be changed.

Products, orders, customers, and other related data will be linked on the new website if they are all migrated using our migration tool. Common links include:

• Products and categories
• Products and reviews
• Customers and orders
• Customers and reviews
• Orders and products

The Entity Limit only applies to products, customers, orders, and blog posts. Other supported data such as categories, taxes, reviews, etc., will be fully migrated during the migration process. For more details on all supported data types, please refer to the Supported Entities section on the migration tool page.

If you want to migrate data from third-party modules and extensions, our VIP Support Service (Migration Customization) will help you do that.

Main images, gallery images and images in description of products, categories, posts and pages will be downloaded and saved to your new site.

You have purchased the migration tool, but you want to migrate more data. You can upgrade the migration tool's Entity Limit to a higher plan.

In order to do that, you just need to pay an amount equal to the price difference between your current plan and the next plan. For example: your current Entity Limit is 500 at $49, you are going to upgrade to 1,000 Entity Limit at $69. So the amount you need to pay is: 69 – 49 = 20 USD.

Please follow the steps below to perform the upgrade:

1. Go to your Account Dashboard > Migrations.
2. Locate the migration tool you want to upgrade. Click Upgrade.
3. Select the new Entity Limit, then proceed to checkout.

Within 1 year from the date of purchase, you can use the migration tool to perform migrations or new data migrations between your two stores as many times as you wish. Additionally, our technicians will support you throughout this period until everything is completed.

Please note that each migration tool is restricted to migrating data from only 1 Source Store, and its Entity Limit applies to both previously migrated data and new data in subsequent migrations.

No, our migration tool is designed to copy data from your Source Store to the Target Store without affecting the operation of either. Both stores will continue to run normally throughout the migration process.

Additionally, you can develop your Target Store while the data is being migrated. However, we recommend not adding, editing, or deleting any data being transferred on the Target Store to avoid any discrepancies in the data.

If you get any errors or need any help with the migration, please follow the steps below to get your problems solved:

1. Pause/stop the migration.
2. Log in and submit a ticket from your Account Dashboard.
3. One of our technicians will be assigned to your ticket. They will support you throughout the migration until you are satisfied with the results.

If product images are missing after the migration, you may experience one of the following problems:

• If the PHP directive allow_url_fopen is being set to Off, please enable it following the steps below:

  1. Create/Open php.ini file under the public folder of your domain.
  2. Add the following lines to the end of that file:

     allow_url_fopen = On

• If you have moved the images folder to a custom location other than the default one, the kitconnect may not recognize it.
• The image types are not supported on the new site. Popular image types: JPEG, JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and SVG.

If you are having trouble with this problem, please submit a ticket from your dashboard. Our technicians will solve the issue and assist you in re-running the migration.

Yes, with our paid plans, you can transfer the migration process to the background. This allows you to close your browser or shut down your computer without interrupting the migration. You can check the status at any time through your account dashboard.

*Note: This feature is not available in the Demo version. Consider upgrading to a paid plan for background migration and optimized migration speed.

The time frame for completing a migration process depends on several factors:

• The amount of data being migrated.
• The speed of the connection between your Source Store, your Target Store, and our migration system.
• The server configuration for self-hosted websites, and the API rate limits for cloud-based websites.

On average, our system can migrate around 3,000 simple products per hour between self-hosted websites under normal conditions. This rate is 1,000 products per hour for migrations between two cloud-based websites, and 2,000 products per hour for migrations between a self-hosted website and a cloud-based website.

To make the process faster and smoother, you may consider using the background migration feature and upgrading your Target Store's server or plan.
