They specialize in offering two-way radios, walkie-talkies, and accessories for industries such as construction, healthcare, and public safety.<\/p>\n They decided to switch from J2Store to HikaShop because J2 Store held them back. They struggled with limited payment options, messy inventory management, and no advanced reports to track their sales. Meanwhile, HikaShop offered more tools and flexibility, making it easier to manage their store and give their customers a better shopping experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For this project, the client outlined several key requirements for their migration from J2 Store to HikaShop, including:<\/p>\n A major challenge in this project was the disorganized state of the client\u2019s database. Their folders were scattered and unstructured, making the migration process more complex. Adding to that, the client wanted to clean up their system during the migration by reorganizing their files. For example, they requested that all documents be consolidated under \/images\/documents and all images be placed under \/images.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n To address the messy database, we customized the migration process to reorganize and consolidate the client\u2019s folders before transferring them to HikaShop. We analyzed their entire folder structure and created a mapping system to group all documents under \/images\/documents, all images under \/images, and organize other scattered folders into a cleaner structure. Using custom scripts, we ensured that everything was transferred into the correct directories, giving the client a well-organized database on their new store.<\/p>\n For their other requirements, we ran our All-in-One Migration Service<\/a>, covering the transfer of products, orders, customers, and other key data. Along with this, we implemented the requested Additional Options, ensuring that categories and product SEO URLs were migrated accurately and order IDs were preserved on the new store.<\/p>\n To handle the product description compatibility issue, we provided a Customization Migration Service<\/a>. With a combination of standard and custom services, we delivered a smooth, accurate, and efficient migration tailored to the client\u2019s unique needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “LitExtension has the reputation of being the very best at store\/cart migrations in the industry and my personal experience with them agrees with that perception. Good customer service and adept work on the store that I had them migrate.”<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n J2Store to HikaShop Migration This case study highlights how we helped a client migrate their store from J2 Store to HikaShop while addressing complex data issues.
