Can I Perform a Migration Between Two E-Commerce Plugins Within One CMS?

No, for technical reasons, performing an e-commerce data migration between two e-commerce plugins within the same Content Management System (CMS) is generally not possible. This limitation stems from the requirement that the Source and Target stores must have distinct URLs.

Consider this scenario: If you intend to migrate data between two e-commerce plugins, such as two WooCommerce stores, both installed on the same hosting environment, it necessitates having two separate CMS installations (e.g., two instances of WordPress in this case). Each installation will have its own unique URL, allowing Cart2Cart to properly access and transfer the data during the e-commerce data migration process.

This restriction exists because Cart2Cart, as an e-commerce data migration service, needs to connect to both the source and target stores independently using their respective URLs. Sharing the same URL would create conflicts and prevent the tool from accurately identifying and migrating the data.

Important Note: If your CMS root folder is different from your server root folder, ensure the Connecting Bridge files are placed in your CMS root folder (e.g., your-store.com/drupal5/, not your-store.com/). This ensures proper connection and data transfer during the e-commerce data migration.
