I have two stores in a single folder at my FTP. Is it okay?

Can I Migrate Two Stores Located in a Single FTP Folder?

To ensure a smooth and accurate data migration, it's crucial that each shopping cart platform is located in its own dedicated folder or subfolder on your FTP server. Having multiple stores within a single folder can lead to conflicts and errors during the data migration process.

Why is this important?

  • Data Integrity: Cart2Cart identifies and extracts data based on the specific structure of each shopping cart platform. When multiple stores are mixed together, the system may not be able to accurately distinguish between them, leading to incomplete or incorrect data transfer.
  • Conflict Resolution: Overlapping files and database entries can cause conflicts that disrupt the migration process.
  • Simplified Troubleshooting: When each store has its own dedicated space, it's easier to identify and resolve any issues that may arise during the migration.

Recommendation:

Before initiating your migration with Cart2Cart, please ensure that each of your shopping cart platforms (e.g., Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, OpenCart, PrestaShop, X-Cart, Shopware, etc.) is located in a separate folder or subfolder on your FTP server. This ensures that Cart2Cart can accurately identify and migrate the data from each store without any complications. For example, one store could be located in `/store1/` and the other in `/store2/`.

If your stores are currently located in a single folder, you'll need to move one of them to a separate directory before starting the migration. Contact your hosting provider if you need assistance with this process.
