How to Re-index Products After Data Migration

After migrating your product catalog using a service like Cart2Cart, it's crucial to ensure your products are searchable on your new store. This often requires re-indexing your product data. Re-indexing rebuilds your store's search index, allowing customers to find your products after the data migration process.

If you've enabled the search function on your e-commerce platform, you'll need to re-index your products after updating your catalog via data migration. Here's how to do it, using PrestaShop as an example:

Go to your store's Back Office -> Preferences -> Search.
In the Indexation section, click either "Re-build entire index" or "Add missing products to index," depending on your needs. "Re-build entire index" is generally recommended after a full data migration.

The exact steps for re-indexing may vary depending on your specific e-commerce platform (e.g., Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, OpenCart, PrestaShop). Consult your platform's documentation for specific instructions.
