Prices of product variants are not migrated

Why Aren't My Product Variant Prices Showing Correctly After Migration?

"Product variants were migrated correctly, but on the front end there is no differentiation in prices for product variants."

This situation arises because shopping cart platforms handle product option pricing differently. For example, older versions of platforms like Interspire and PrestaShop allow setting a specific price for each product variant. In contrast, platforms like Magento or CS-Cart typically calculate product option prices based on a base product price. This difference in architecture means that Cart2Cart cannot automatically migrate product variant prices in a way that perfectly replicates the original pricing structure on all platforms. This is a common challenge during eCommerce data migration.

Understanding Product Variant Price Migration Limitations

Due to these technical variations, Cart2Cart's automated migration process doesn't currently support the direct transfer of product variant prices between all platforms. After the shopping cart migration, you'll need to manually adjust the pricing of product variants within your new store to ensure they are accurate.

How to Adjust Product Variant Prices After Migration

The process for adjusting product variant prices will vary depending on your new platform. Consult your platform's documentation for specific instructions on how to manage product options and their associated prices. This often involves editing each product individually and updating the variant prices accordingly. This manual adjustment is crucial to ensure accurate pricing and a positive customer experience after your eCommerce platform migration.
