Shopping Cart Migration Guide

On Shopify, all of the products will be fully displayed on the storefront after the Full Migration except for the out-of-stock products. Hence, you are supposed to find them from the catalog or by onsite search.

You should check your product details which are product descriptions, images, variants, and meta descriptions carefully.

One thing to jot down is that Shopify does not have categories and subcategories. Instead, there are collections and product tags. Data in categories and subcategories on your Source store will be automatically moved to corresponding collections and tags on Shopify.

After finishing checking data on storefront, login to the Shopify admin and browse customer and order data from the back-end.

Note: If you want to transfer product reviews from Source cart to Shopify, please check out the following steps to import reviews to Shopify:

• Get the free app Product Reviews on your Target Shopify store (before or after the migration)

• Export reviews from your Source store to CSV file.
• Go to your Shopify admin, navigate to Apps -> Product Reviews -> Settings
• Hit Import button in the top bar
• Click “Choose file” button and select the CSV file you’ve exported
• Click “Import” button

WooCommerce brings you the results of your automated migration right on the storefront. Just type your new store’s URL or follow the confirmation link in email and access the shop site.

If you are using a template specifically designed for WooCommerce, the products catalogue can be your homepage where the imported entities will be. Then, log into the WordPress admin dashboard and go to WooCommerce tab to check your data in the back-office.

Moreover, you need to activate “Generate Thumbnail” to display images on the frontend.

• Login to your WooCommerce Target Site.
  
  
• Go to “WooCommerce” > “Status” > “Tools” > click “Regenerate”. Select “Product lookup tables” > click “Regenerate”
  
  

After the full migration, you can check whether the products and items appear on the front-end or not. And don’t forget to log into the admin panel and custom the entities as you want.

Go to the front-end and check all your items in the catalog, the categories and onsite search. Check from the admin panel if any products from the source store aren’t on display on the new one.

Log into the back-end and go to the Catalog > Products to find the entities and check whether it is Enabled or not.

Note: Out-of-stock products can be disabled and not visible from the front-end.

First of all, you have to clear cache in order to see migrated entities. After that, your migrated entities such as products and categories are visible on the storefront.

Once again, you should check all the items and make sure they are displayed from the catalog and also the search.

Log into the backend of your new store and take a look at all transferred entities from the admin panel.

Please note that due to PrestaShop configuration, you will not be able to see the products that are assigned to a separate category from the back-end. Therefore, you must go to Products menu and use Filter by category to fix it.

In case you choose to migrate products and to display your images on frontend properly, please regenerate thumbnail Images following these steps:

• Go to Design > Image > REGENERATE THUMBNAILS
  
• Select an image = “All”; Erase previous images = “No”; hit “Regenerate thumbnails”
  
• In case it is Time-out during the process, please repeat the steps for incremental regeneration until it is fully completed.
