Can I Migrate Images from a Database Dump During Data Migration?

While performing a data migration from a database dump, direct image migration isn't a standard feature. To transfer your images effectively, Cart2Cart requires access to a folder containing your image files. Once the data migration process is complete, we will upload these images to your new store.

Essentially, while the database contains the information *about* your images (like names and locations), it doesn't contain the image files themselves. Cart2Cart needs access to the actual image files to move them to your new platform. Providing a folder with your images ensures a complete and accurate transfer of your visual content during the data migration process.

Here's a breakdown of how it works:

1. Provide Image Folder Access: Grant Cart2Cart access to a folder containing all your store's images. This could be via FTP, a shared cloud storage location, or another secure method.
2. Data Migration: Cart2Cart migrates your product data, customer information, and other essential details from the database dump to your new platform.
3. Image Upload: After the data migration, Cart2Cart uploads the images from the provided folder to your new store, linking them to the corresponding products and categories.
