How E-commerce Migration Works

Migrating your online store involves transferring your store data, preserving SEO rankings, and ensuring zero downtime. Here's what you need to know about the process, whether you're moving to Magento (REST API, enterprise features, configurable products), from Magento, or between other e-commerce platforms.

Data Mapping & Export

Export products, categories, customers, orders, and content from your current platform. Map fields to your target platform's structure. For Magento migrations, map to product, category, and customer entities. Magento uses a modern entity structure with REST API and supports headless commerce.

Import & Validation

Import data into your target platform using CSV uploads, REST API connections, or migration extensions. For Magento, use the REST API or Admin import. Validate product variants, pricing, inventory, customer accounts, and order history for accuracy.

SEO & Launch

Set up 301 redirects from old URLs to new platform URLs. Configure domain, test checkout flow, and launch with zero downtime using staged cutover strategies.

Migration Tools & Methods

Choose the migration method that fits your technical expertise, budget, and timeline. Each approach has its advantages for different store sizes and requirements.

Automated Migration Services

Fastest and most reliable option. Services like Cart2Cart handle API connections, entity mapping for Magento, data transformation, redirects, and test runs with guided setup. Ideal for Magento migrations requiring REST API or migration extension access and complex product variant mapping.

CSV Import Method

Export your store data to CSV files and import directly into your target platform. Budget-friendly but requires manual field mapping and data cleanup. Best for simple catalogs. Works with Magento (via admin import/export) and other platforms, though complex product variants may require additional mapping.

Custom Development

Build a custom migration script using Magento's REST API, combined with your source platform's API. Best for complex catalogs with custom fields, extensions, and unique workflows. Magento's PHP architecture and extension system allow advanced migrations. Requires PHP expertise.
