Are there any shopping cart features that may limit migration options?

Yes, it is a common situation that shopping cart functionality limits migration opportunities. The following shopping carts don’t allow the creation of extra fields: Shopify, BigCommerce, osCommerce, CRE Loaded, Loaded 7, Zen Cart, WP e-Commerce. Therefore, Cart2Cart can’t import extra fields to those platforms.

You can only choose default order statuses and can’t create new ones on: Shopify, Yahoo Store, Volusion, 3dcart. That’s why merchants will only be able to map order statuses on the source store with default ones on these carts.

When performing migrations to WooCommerce, remember that you’ll only be able to map all order statuses from your source cart with the default ones on WooCommerce stores.

Shopify Data Migration Considerations

When migrating to Shopify, be aware of the following limitations:

• You can transfer no more than 100,000 redirects from your source cart.
• You can transfer no more than 65,000 orders per customer.
• Each product description should contain fewer than 65,000 characters on the source store; otherwise, the product will be skipped during migration.

Note: If your customers and/or orders contain invalid data in shipping or billing addresses, our service will replace them with default details suitable for Shopify. The original information won’t be lost, however; it’ll be moved to Additional details -> Note for each appropriate customer and order.

Additionally, Shopify’s product Type field is limited to 255 characters.

The platform takes product types from your source cart categories, so if a product on your old store is in multiple categories simultaneously, it might be skipped during migration.
