Magento to WooCommerce. 3 Migration Methods

When it comes to Magento to WooCommerce migration, basically there are 3 ways to get around the problem.

The database from Magento to WooCommerce can be transferred manually, but it is appropriate only for the owners of small stores. To illustrate it, firstly all the Magento store data should be exported as CSV files. When done, go to WooCommerce ? Products -> Import. There, you’ll see a built-in product CSV importer. Click Choose File, select the CSV file that you want to import and click Continue button. When done, select Run the Importer and wait until the process is finished. Repeat these steps for the rest of your CSV files.

Another way to migrate customers, products, orders, etc., from Magento to WooCommerce is finding a developer or even a team of experts to whom you'll delegate the task (assissted way). At WooCommerce you can find a list of hand-picked WooExperts who are always ready to give you a hand of help in all the migration-related issues. Once you've narrowed the list to a few experts, take time to discover their work samples, pricing data, and information about their experience. Connect with the developer who fits your requirements best and let him take care of the migration.

And the 3rd way is to perform the migration with the help of the automated tools (like Cart2Cart). Cart2Cart is an automated migration service that has been designed to make shopping cart replatforming in a fully automated manner. The service has all the functionality required to transfer the database from Magento to WooCommerce without intensive hands-on.

Prepare your WooCommerce store

Before initiating the Magento to WooCommerce migration, take time to install the new WooCommerce store. Firstly, you should download the WordPress site installation at the official website and when done, download the WooCommerce plugin.

Note: If you don’t have a WooCommerce store yet or haven’t decided what eCommerce platform to choose, you can benefit from Cart2Cart Migration Preview service and migrate to the test store.

Setup Your Source Cart

Once you've registered at Cart2Cart, choose Magento from the drop-down list and enter the store's URL. After that, you have to install a Connection Bridge (download the corresponding file, extract it from the zip archive and paste it to the root directory. Alternatively, Cart2Cart can do that for you - just provide your store credentials).

Setup Your Target Cart

Select the WooCommerce cart from the menu, provide the WordPress Admin URL, login and password. Once done, click the choose entities button.

Select Entities & Extra Migration Options

Now it's time to select the types of data you want to be transferred to the WooCommerce store. Here are some of the currently supported entities that can be migrated:

• Product data — names, prices, descriptions, SKUs, weights, and variants,
• Tax classes, names, and rates,
• Customer data — names, emails, addresses, and passwords,
• Product categories,
• Order information — date, status, price, quantities, discounts, and shipping,
• Coupon codes and discounts,
• Page titles, dates, URLs, and descriptions,
• View all available migration data.

Next, consider choosing some of the additional migration options to ease the switching process:

Start Demo Migration

Those e-merchants willing to observe the service in action can take advantage of the Demo migration by transferring a limited number of entities (products, orders, or customers) for free. If happy with the outcome, it is possible to proceed with the Full migration.

Note: Your current Magento store can still run in the background during the transfer, so there’s no lost revenue!

Launch Full Migration

Right at this point, you can start Full Migration. Check if you have enough funds on an account. It is also possible to use a coupon code if you have one.

At this point, you can close the browser window. You will receive an email when the migration process is finished. The results of data transferring will be visible on your WooCommerce store. After that, you have to test your newly established shop to make sure everything works fine.
