Migration Tips
Follow these best practices to ensure a smooth, successful migration of your e-commerce store.
Before You Start
Create a Complete Backup
Always backup your source store before migration. Export your database, files, and any custom configurations.
Document Your Customizations
List all custom fields, plugins, and modifications. Some features may need different solutions on your new platform.
Check Product Image Quality
Ensure your product images are high resolution. Now is a good time to update any low-quality images.
During Migration
Start with a Test Import
Import a small batch of 10-20 products first. Review them thoroughly before doing the full import.
Preserve SEO Data
Make sure URL slugs, meta titles, and descriptions are transferred. Set up 301 redirects for changed URLs.
Verify Variant Mapping
Check that product variants (size, color, etc.) are correctly linked to parent products after import.
After Migration
Test the Checkout Process
Place test orders to verify pricing, shipping calculations, taxes, and payment processing work correctly.
Update External Links
Update product links in emails, social media, and advertising campaigns to point to your new store.
Monitor Analytics
Set up analytics on your new store and compare traffic patterns. Investigate any significant drops.
