This documentation is designed to equip you for a seamless experience using LitExtension! Read on to gain all the required knowledge about cart migration, including a demonstration of the migration process, what you need to prepare before and after the migration.
After setting up your Source Cart and Target Cart, let’s move to the next step. In this stage, you will configure the migration to your needs.
First, you are supposed to select some of the entities you want to migrate listed below or click ‘Select All’ to migrate all of your data.
Each shopping cart has a different list of entities for you to choose from, however, Customers, Products and Orders are basic options on every eCommerce platform.
If you want to extend your migration possibility, LitExtension also provides additional options for you. With these advanced options, you can ensure everything is the same on your new store just as on your current one.
The table below elaborates the main functionality of LitExtension additional options. Let’s check it out and tick your needed features.
