How to enable Product Catalog?

Before you can migrate all of your product catalog data using an eCommerce data migration service like Cart2Cart, you must first ensure that both of the catalog export files (catalog.xml and objinfo.xml) are enabled.

How to Enable Product Catalog Export for eCommerce Data Migration

On the Store Manager front page, click "Search Engines" within the Promote section. This takes you to the Promote Your Site in Search Engines page, as shown in the image below.

The Promote Your Site on Search Engines page contains links to learning more about search engine optimization, and it contains the Export of Store Contents section, which includes catalog.xml.
  • Make sure that the catalog.xml and objinfo.xml fields have the "Enabled" radio button selected, as shown in the image above. If it isn't enabled, select it.
  • Click [Done].
    If you're curious about what this file looks like, you can view it by clicking the "Download" link.

Note: If catalog.xml and objinfo.xml are enabled, but not published (generated), the eCommerce data migration will only include data already in these files, without fresh changes. To ensure a complete migration, regenerate these files.

How to Publish Your Product Catalog for Accurate eCommerce Data Migration

To publish your product catalog and regenerate catalog.xml and objinfo.xml:

  • Go to Catalog Manager and click on the Publish tab.
  • In the Publish tab, press "Publish Catalog".

The "Publish Catalog" button won’t be active if there were no changes since the last publishing (generation).

Note: You have to install "Catalog Manager" to make the eCommerce data migration possible.
