How to migrate from Volusion to Opencart?
Migrating your e-commerce store from Volusion to OpenCart requires careful planning and execution to ensure a smooth transition without losing valuable data or disrupting your business operations.
Step 1. Backup Your Data
The first step is to back up your existing Volusion store. This includes exporting data such as products, categories, customers, orders, and images. You can typically do this using Volusion’s export functionality, saving the data in CSV or XML formats. It’s also essential to save any custom content like CMS pages or scripts that are part of your Volusion setup.
Step 2. Set up OpenCart
Set up your OpenCart environment. Install OpenCart on your web hosting platform and choose a theme that aligns with your branding. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with OpenCart’s structure and functionalities to streamline the migration process. You may also need to install additional plugins or modules to replicate features from your Volusion store.
Step 3. Using a Migration tool
To simplify the data migration process, consider using tools like LitExtension. This service automates the transfer of data, reducing the risk of errors and saving time.
- Set Up Volusion and OpenCart Stores
Selecting Volusion as your “Source Cart” and OpenCart as your “Target Cart”. Enter the URLs for both stores and follow the step-by-step instructions provided by the tool to configure the connection between the two platforms. This setup ensures that your data can be seamlessly transferred from Volusion to OpenCart.
- Select Data to Migrate
Choose the specific data you wish to migrate from Volusion to OpenCart. You can include products, categories, orders, customers, SEO URLs, and other important entities. The migration tool typically allows you to customize your selection, ensuring you only transfer the data necessary for your new store.
- Perform Full Migration
Once the setup and data selection are complete, initiate the full migration process. The tool will automatically handle the transfer of data from Volusion to OpenCart. You can relax and let the migration process run in the background—even if you close your browser—while experts or automated systems manage the heavy lifting.
Step 4. Export Data from Volusion
Log in to your Volusion admin panel and export all necessary data. This includes:
- Products: Export product details such as names, SKUs, descriptions, prices, and stock levels.
- Categories: Ensure the hierarchy and relationships between categories are included.
- Customers: Export customer information, including names, emails, and addresses.
- Orders: Download historical order details if you wish to migrate them.
- Images: Manually download images if the export does not include them.
Organize all exported files and ensure they are complete and formatted correctly.
Step 5. Import Data into OpenCart
Use the migration tool to import the data into OpenCart. These tools typically guide you through mapping the fields from your Volusion export to OpenCart’s database structure. If migrating manually, use OpenCart’s import/export extensions or modules to upload the data. Verify that all data—products, categories, customers, and orders—has been correctly imported and structured.
Step 6: Adjust Data in OpenCart
After importing, review the data to ensure accuracy. Organize product categories, verify stock levels, and check for any formatting errors in product descriptions or other details. Upload images to their respective products if they were not included during the import process. Also, review customer accounts to confirm that login credentials and contact details are intact.
Step 7: Configure OpenCart Settings
Finalize your OpenCart store by configuring essential settings:
- Payment Gateways: Set up your preferred payment methods.
- Shipping Options: Configure shipping methods and rates based on your business model.
- Tax Settings: Update taxes to comply with local regulations.
- SEO Optimization: Adjust SEO settings, including meta tags, friendly URLs, and sitemaps.
Once configured, test your store thoroughly to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Perform test transactions and fix any issues before making your store live.
