How many steps are there to migrate data from your store to a target store?

With LitExtension’s Automated Migration Package, migrating your data is straightforward and involves only 3 simple steps. These steps are carefully designed to ensure a seamless transfer of your store data to the new platform, saving you time and eliminating the hassle. Below is a detailed guide to help you successfully complete the migration process:

Step 1: Set up Source & Target cart

Log in to the LitExtension website using your email, Facebook, or Gmail account. Navigate to the “Create Migration” tab and provide the required information for your Source and Target carts.

For the Source Cart, select the platform from the drop-down menu and provide the necessary credentials. Depending on your cart type, we’ll require different approaches to set up your store for the eCommerce migration successfully.

  • If your platform is an open-source solution (such as Magento, WooCommerce, Shopware,…): You’ll need to download the LitExtension Connector and upload it to your store’s root folder. Then, please fill in your cart URL and wait for the notification “Connection was successfully installed” to appear on the screen.
  • If your platform is a hosted solution (Shopify, BigCommerce, Weebly,…): Please fill out the required information in the blank to finish setting up your store.

Do the same thing for your Target Cart. Also, choose a platform that you want to migrate your store to, then fill in the information as we request. Once everything is done, hit “Next: Configure Your Migration”

Step 2: Select Migration Entities

At this step, you can choose the data you want to migrate, such as Products, Orders, and Pricing Rules. To transfer all data, select the “Select All” box.

Enhance the migration with Additional Options to move advanced data like customer passwords and SEO URLs. Finally, map the order statuses and languages between the two platforms to ensure everything displays correctly on your WooCommerce site.

Step 3: Run the Full Migration

Start with a Free Demo Migration to preview how your data will look on WooCommerce. If satisfied, proceed with the Full Migration.

LitExtension’s cloud-based process doesn’t require your computer to stay on during the migration. Once complete, you’ll receive an email confirmation. Verify the results by clicking “Check Result” and double-checking both your storefront and backend to ensure a successful migration.

That’s all about the migration process which can be carried out yourselves. Technical knowledge and skills are not necessary to use our LitExtension Automated Migration Package. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us for further assistance.
