X-Cart to NopCommerce Migration

Our client is a full-line aquatic livestock supplier established nearly 20 years ago. They offer a wide range of freshwater and marine fish, invertebrates, and aquatic plants to retailers and wholesalers.

Our client had trouble with X-Cart’s slow performance, limited customization, and integration issues with third-party tools. Managing their large product catalog was also difficult, which made daily operations less efficient. NopCommerce offers a faster, more flexible solution with better inventory management and easy integrations. That’s when they turned to LitExtension for expert migration services.

The client wanted a smooth migration of their essential data, including orders, products, and customers, to NopCommerce. They also specifically requested our Additional Option – Clear Data on NopCommerce Before Migration. This ensured that any existing data on the new store was removed before migration, preventing conflicts and keeping the database clean.

One major challenge in this migration was handling customer-specific pricing. In the old system, different customers had different price schedules based on their assigned roles. However, since the client did not mention this requirement before the migration, all prices were assigned to all customer roles in the new system. As a result, every customer could see all pricing levels, leading to potential pricing errors and inconsistencies.

To fix the pricing issue, we assigned each customer to the correct role and linked that role to the appropriate price. This allowed the system to apply the correct pricing based on customer roles, just like in the old store.

Before running the script to adjust the pricing structure, we worked closely with the client to map customer groups from X-Cart to NopCommerce. Their cooperation ensured that every customer was correctly categorized before applying the fix.

Then, we proceeded with our All-in-One Migration Service to transfer the remaining data, including products, orders, and customers, ensuring a complete and accurate migration.
