Can I Preserve IDs During a Multi-Store Data Migration?

Cart2Cart offers the capability to preserve your orders, products, and customers IDs during a multi-store data migration, but only under specific circumstances. This is possible when the number of your source stores is equal to the number of your target stores. For example, if you're migrating from three separate stores on one platform to three separate stores on another, Cart2Cart can maintain the original IDs.

However, it's crucial to note that if you're migrating from multiple stores to a single target store, or conversely, from a single store to multiple target stores, Cart2Cart will not be able to preserve your IDs. This is due to the potential for ID conflicts and the way data is structured within the target platform.

To successfully preserve IDs during your data migration, ensure that the number of source and target stores matches. This will help maintain data integrity and consistency across platforms.

Example:

  • Scenario 1 (IDs Can Be Preserved): Migrating from two X-Cart stores to two Magento stores.
  • Scenario 2 (IDs Cannot Be Preserved): Migrating from three Shopify stores to a single WooCommerce store.
