Error in Preserve IDs option when migrating VirtueMart

Understanding the Preserve IDs Option During Data Migration to VirtueMart

Due to the peculiarities of VirtueMart version 2, it doesn't support IDs that contain letters; it only accepts numerical IDs. Therefore, when you perform a data migration to VirtueMart 2 from a shopping cart platform that utilizes letters in its ID structure, the 'Preserve IDs' option within Cart2Cart will not function correctly. VirtueMart will automatically generate new IDs for your products, customers, and orders during the migration process.

This limitation affects the ability to maintain consistent IDs across platforms when migrating to older versions of VirtueMart. If preserving IDs is critical, consider migrating to a more modern e-commerce platform or upgrading your VirtueMart installation if possible. Cart2Cart supports data migration to a wide array of platforms, including Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and many others, offering flexible solutions for your data migration needs.
