Why do I need to clear current data on the Target Store before migration?

Clearing your Target Store’s current data before migration helps prevent conflicts between your existing data and the new data coming in from your Source Store. If your Target Store already has entities such as products, customers, or orders with IDs that overlap with the data you’re migrating, this can cause mismatched records, duplicate entries, or migration warnings after the transfer.

Caution: Clearing data is permanent and cannot be undone, so make sure to back up your Target Store fully before enabling this option.

If you’re unsure whether you need this option for your specific migration, our Support Agents can help you assess your setup.

If you have other questions or inquiries, please contact our Support Agents via live chat or email us at [email protected].
