Will the URL Structure be Maintained After the eCommerce Data Migration?

Each shopping cart platform uses its own unique method for constructing URLs for pages such as products, categories, and content pages. While Cart2Cart's core service doesn't automatically migrate the entire URL structure during an eCommerce data migration, there are options to manage your URLs effectively.

You have a couple of options:

  • Manual Maintenance: If your target platform supports flexible URL settings, you can manually recreate the URL structure to match your source store.
  • Permanent Redirects: Implement permanent (301) redirects in your .htaccess file to redirect traffic from your old URLs to the new ones, preventing 404 errors and preserving SEO value.

Note: Cart2Cart offers the possibility to migrate product and category SEO URLs for a limited number of supported shopping carts. This can significantly ease the transition and preserve your search engine rankings. Find more detailed information here.
