Can you migrate passwords for my Summer Cart users?

Can I Migrate Passwords During Shopping Cart Data Migration?

Unfortunately, Cart2Cart does not offer direct password migration due to security reasons and the technical complexities involved. We can only migrate password hashes.

Why Password Migration Is Complicated

Password hashing is a one-way, irreversible process. This means the original password cannot be recovered from its hash. Furthermore, each shopping cart platform uses different "salt" values and hashing algorithms to encrypt passwords. This incompatibility prevents the transfer of usable passwords between platforms.

What This Means for Your Customers

After the migration, your customers will need to reset their passwords on the new store. This is a standard security practice when migrating between platforms with different password encryption methods.

How to Inform Your Customers

We recommend informing your customers about the password reset requirement before, during, and after the migration process. Clear communication will help ensure a smooth transition for your customers.

Alternative Solutions

While direct password migration isn't possible, consider these alternatives:

• Offer a one-time discount: Provide a small discount code to customers upon their first login to encourage them to reset their passwords and explore the new store.
• Send a welcome email: Include clear instructions on how to reset their password in a welcome email after the migration.
