What is Order Status Mapping in Data Migration?

Cart2Cart simplifies your shopping cart migration by allowing you to map, or match, order statuses between your source and target stores. This process, known as "order status mapping," ensures your order data is migrated accurately and consistently.

Typical examples of order statuses include: pending payment, processing, shipped, delivered, canceled, refunded, and more.

Why is Order Status Mapping Necessary for Accurate Data Migration?

Each e-commerce platform, such as Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, and OpenCart, has its own set of default order statuses, and many allow for the creation of custom statuses. Because the order statuses on your source and target platforms are unlikely to be identical, order status mapping enables you to specify how orders with particular statuses should be migrated during your data migration.

For example, a "Processing" order status in your source store might correspond to a "Confirmed" status in your target store. With Cart2Cart, you can map these statuses, ensuring that all orders with the "Processing" status in your original store are correctly assigned the "Confirmed" status in your new store after the migration.

If your target shopping cart lacks certain order statuses, you can easily create them in your target store's admin panel before starting your migration. You have the flexibility to name the order statuses in your target store to match those in your source store or use different names. Order status mapping provides you with the control needed to avoid confusion and ensure a seamless data migration.
