Migrating Your E-commerce Store: A Step-by-Step Guide from Aabaco to WooCommerce
A Comprehensive Guide to Transitioning from Aabaco to WooCommerce
Are you looking to enhance your online store's capabilities, gain more flexibility, and leverage a robust ecosystem of plugins and themes? Migrating from Aabaco (formerly Yahoo! Store) to WooCommerce is a strategic move that empowers your e-commerce business for future growth. Aabaco, while having served many merchants, lacks the modern features, scalability, and open-source versatility that WooCommerce, built on WordPress, provides. This guide will walk you through the entire process, from preparation to post-migration verification, ensuring a smooth and successful data transfer.
It's important to note that Aabaco does not offer a direct API for automated migration tools. Therefore, the transition will primarily involve exporting your store data from Aabaco into CSV files and then importing those files into your new WooCommerce store. This CSV File to Cart migration method is a proven approach for moving valuable store data effectively.
Prerequisites for a Successful Migration
Before embarking on your data transfer journey, ensure both your source Aabaco store and your target WooCommerce platform are adequately prepared. This groundwork is crucial for minimizing downtime and ensuring data integrity.
Preparing Your Aabaco Source Store
- Data Export: Systematically export all essential data from your Aabaco store into CSV files. This includes:
- Products (with all details like SKUs, variants, prices, images, descriptions)
- Product Categories and Manufacturers
- Customer Information (names, addresses, order history)
- Order Details (statuses, items, pricing)
- Product Reviews
- CMS Pages and Blog Posts
- Coupons and Taxes
- Data Cleanliness: Take this opportunity to clean up any old, unused, or duplicate data in your CSV files. This will result in a cleaner, more efficient WooCommerce store.
- For more detailed guidance, refer to our guide on preparing your source store.
Preparing Your WooCommerce Target Store
- WordPress Installation: Ensure you have a fresh installation of WordPress on a reliable hosting environment.
- WooCommerce Plugin: Install and activate the WooCommerce plugin from the WordPress dashboard.
- Cart2Cart WooCommerce Universal Migration Plugin: For a seamless data import, the Cart2Cart WooCommerce Universal Migration plugin is required. You will be prompted to install this during the migration wizard.
- Theme Selection: While not strictly necessary before migration, consider choosing and installing your desired WooCommerce theme to envision how your data will appear.
- For comprehensive preparation steps, visit our guide on preparing your target store.
Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide
With your stores prepared, let's dive into the step-by-step process of replatforming your e-commerce data to WooCommerce.
Step 1: Get Started with the Migration Wizard
Navigate to the migration tool and initiate a new migration project. This is where your journey begins, setting the stage for transferring your valuable business assets.
Step 2: Set Up Your Aabaco Source Store (via CSV Files)
In the source store setup step, you will select "CSV File to Cart" as your current shopping cart platform. You will then be prompted to upload the CSV files you prepared earlier, containing all your Aabaco store data.
- Upload Data: Upload your Products, Categories, Customers, Orders, Reviews, CMS Pages, and any other relevant CSV files. The tool will parse this data for the migration.
- Supported Entities: The migration supports a wide range of entities including Products (with attributes and variants), Product Categories, Manufacturers, Customers, Orders, Product Reviews, CMS Pages, Coupons, Blogs, and Blog Posts.
Step 3: Configure Your WooCommerce Target Store
Next, select "WooCommerce" as your target shopping cart. You'll need to provide your WordPress Admin URL. To establish a secure connection, select the "Install Add-on from Marketplace" method. This will guide you through installing the necessary Cart2Cart plugin directly within your WordPress/WooCommerce environment, facilitating the data transfer.
Rest assured, the security of your access details is paramount. You can learn more about this in our FAQ on data security.
Step 4: Select Data Entities for Transfer
This crucial step allows you to choose exactly which data entities you wish to transfer from your Aabaco CSV files to your new WooCommerce store. You can select all available entities or pick specific ones like products, customers, orders, product reviews, and more. This granular control ensures only relevant data is moved, maintaining the clarity of your new store.
Step 5: Choose Additional Migration Options
To further customize your migration, select from a range of additional options. These can significantly impact the outcome of your store's transition and its future performance:
- Clear Target Store Data: If your WooCommerce store already contains dummy data, selecting "Clear current data on Target store before migration" can prevent conflicts.
- Migrate Images in Product Descriptions: Ensure all your product images embedded within descriptions are transferred correctly.
- Create 301 Redirects: This is vital for preserving your SEO rankings and link equity. 301 redirects automatically guide old URLs to their new destinations, preventing broken links and maintaining a strong user experience.
- Preserve IDs: Options like "Preserve Product IDs", "Preserve Order IDs", and "Preserve Customer IDs" help maintain data consistency, especially for internal linking and record-keeping.
- Migrate Customer Passwords: Enhance customer experience by transferring existing passwords, allowing customers to log in seamlessly to your new store.
- Create Variants from Attributes: Essential for products with multiple options (e.g., size, color) to be correctly represented as WooCommerce product variations.
Step 6: Map Your Data Fields
This step involves mapping corresponding data fields between your Aabaco CSV source and WooCommerce target. You'll match customer groups and order statuses, ensuring that your customer roles and order workflows are accurately replicated in WooCommerce. This ensures data consistency and a familiar experience for your customers and internal processes.
Step 7: Perform a Free Demo and Full Migration
Before committing to the full data transfer, run a Free Demo Migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your WooCommerce store. Use this opportunity to thoroughly check the transferred data, verify product details, customer accounts, and order information. Once satisfied with the demo results, you can proceed with the Full Migration to transfer all your store's data.
For added peace of mind, consider a Migration Insurance Service, which offers additional remigrations in case you need to run the process again. Learn more about how migration insurance works.
Post-Migration Steps
Completing the migration is a significant milestone, but a few crucial steps remain to ensure your new WooCommerce store is fully operational and optimized.
- Thorough Data Verification: Rigorously check all migrated data. Ensure product SKUs, variants, prices, images, descriptions, customer data, and order histories are accurate. Test all functionalities, including adding products to the cart, checkout processes, and user account management.
- Configure Essential Store Settings: Set up your payment gateways, shipping zones, tax rules, and general store settings within WooCommerce.
- Implement 301 Redirects: While the migration tool can create 301 redirects, double-check them. If any old Aabaco URLs are not redirecting correctly, set up manual 301 redirects to preserve SEO rankings and link equity.
- Install Necessary Extensions/Plugins: WooCommerce has specific limitations that can be addressed with plugins. For instance, if you require dedicated functionality for manufacturers, custom order statuses, or advanced customer groups, you will need to install appropriate plugins to extend WooCommerce's capabilities.
- Update DNS and Go Live: Once you are completely satisfied with your new store, update your Domain Name System (DNS) records to point your domain to the new WooCommerce hosting.
- SEO Audit: Conduct a comprehensive SEO audit. Submit your new sitemap to search engines, monitor search console for any crawl errors, and verify meta descriptions and titles.
- Test User Experience (UX): Place test orders, navigate your store as a customer, and ensure a seamless and intuitive shopping experience.
- Consider Recent Data Migration: If new orders or customer data appeared on your Aabaco store during the migration period, a recent data migration can transfer these updates without affecting your newly migrated data.
Migrating from Aabaco to WooCommerce is a powerful step towards a more flexible and feature-rich e-commerce platform. By following this detailed guide and paying attention to preparation and post-migration checks, you can achieve a successful and impactful replatforming for your business.

So now I have a perfect copy of my Shopify store on my Woocommerce platform. All within 2 days and I didn’t have to code anything – the migration took just a few clicks – fully automated. Ok, that’s it I just like when I see somebody really care about your business so I felt like I’d let the world know about my experience with this company

My migration from BigCommerce to WooCommerce was so easy, so time-saving, and so successful that I can’t believe all that work was done with one click!
Thanks to Cart2Cart for a fantastic service. Totally recommended!

I had a lot of pre-sales questions about the plugin and the migration. The service provided was absolutely perfect, quick and in-depth responses. My final migration has just finished and it did so in 27 minutes to be precise. If you are looking for the perfect, headache-free tool for your (in my case Magento to Woocommerce) migration, look no further, THIS IS IT! For those who expected such a plugin to be for free, are you kidding me?!?!

I’ve used the service/software for two website migrations (ZenCart to WooCommerce). The second one failed, also because of my own error, but the supprt was great and Cart2Cart team helped getting it all working flawless.
Very impressed by this software and even more by the aftersales support. Will use again when needed.

I moved a site from Jigoshop Version 2 (the jigoshop upgrade from v1 to v2 was poor) to WooCommerce and I am very happy with the results. My original Jigoshop site had been hacked so it wasn’t ideal, but Cart to Cart were very helpful and their support was very good. 🙂

Excellent Support for the non expert who needs a lot of assistance they spent as much time as I needed to insure I got my migration. The upload went well after the Demo. Customer service was there when I had questions or issues to fine tune after purchase. I would recommend if you need to import / migrate your Products from Shopify to Woocommerce in Word Press as I did.

Company went above and beyond to handle the migration, even doing 2 additional trials to get it right.
The project was involved as it had a large product count, user count, and orders going back 5 years. This involved doing the CMS and Shopping cart migration from Drupal / Ubercart to WordPress / Woocommerce.
I had the new site up the same day as the migration and only had to do some fine tuning, menus setup, and correct some links.
Pleasure to have a second migration done with this company.

Tried to do the data migration myself and failed even after spending so many hours attempting different things. With Cart2Cart the data import from 3dcart to WooCommerce was quick and easy. Support response time was great and replies were really helpful. Definitely worth the cost and it saved me many more headaches
Review source
I needed to migrate a lot of product data (title, price, description, images) from an old Mojishop installation on Joomla to a new shop system based on Woocommerce on WordPress. The setup was very easy (you need FTP access on your webspace).
Before you pay for the great service you can make several test migrations. It turned out there were some product information missing on the new system, because my data base had a custom name. I did not find out this by my own.
So I contacted the customer support of Cart2Cart. I got immediately help and two days later a custom solution for my problem.
This is a service! Thanks a lot.
