How Our Additional Options Solve Your Problems
Clear Data On Target Store Before Migration
This option allows you to delete the data (on the Target Store) in accordance with selected entities for migration. It is to avoid mixing and duplication of data during the migration process.
For example: If you’re migrating “Products” and “Taxes” from Source Store to Target Store, selecting this option will automatically wipe out the similar entities on your Target Store once the migration is kick-started.
Warning: This option will erase all the existing data (that you’ve chosen to migrate) on your Target Store. Once it is completed, the action can’t be reversed so we highly recommend you to create a backup before starting the migration.
Preserve Product, Order, Customer IDs on Target Store
With this option, the IDs of your product, customer and order will be kept the same in your Target Store just as in your Source Store. This option is necessary to keep the connection among entities after the migration. Besides that, it helps you manage your Products, Customers and Orders easily.
For example: You have a product with an ID #1983 on your Source Store. Your product will be migrated with the same ID #1983 to the Target Store. However, if this option is not chosen, the product IDs on the Target store will be automatically generated according to its structure and will be different from the ones on your Source store.
How It WorksMigrate Images from Products, Categories and Blog Post Descriptions
This option helps you to migrate images in description of products, categories and blog posts.
Create 301 Redirects on Target Store
301 Redirects option allows you to automatically redirect your old store’s URLs to the new ones during the migration. As a result, you can maintain your SEO ranking and customer experience after the website re-platforming.
Unsupported Target Store: Prestashop, OpenCart.
Strip HTML tags from category and product names automatically when migrating your store
Categories, product names in your Source store may already wear HTML tags. However, these tags might have been configured improperly or your new store does not need them anymore.
In these cases, if you re-platform without removing the old HTML tags, your categories, product names will display with errors in the new store. Therefore, LitExtension offers an additional option for you to strip HTML tags from category and product names automatically when migrating your store with us.
Migrate Invoices, Credit Memos and Shipments to Target Store
This option allows you to migrate invoices, credit memos, shipments along with carriers to Target Store. This can only be applied for “Magento to Magento migration” and “Prestashop to Prestashop migration”.
Migrate Source Store Categories into Shopify Automated Collections
Shopify doesn’t have sub-categories, instead, it provides collections. Therefore, during the migration to Shopify, choosing this option will migrate all of your categories including sub-categories to Shopify collections.
Besides that, this option will also automatically add tags to your products. As a result, you can show sub-categories just like in your Source Store by creating sub-menus from product tags.
We highly recommend you to choose this option when migrating product categories and subcategories to Shopify. This saves you a lot of time and effort from manually arranging all the products into collections.
Supported Target Store: Shopify, Shopify Plus
