Clear current data on Target store before migration option

Understanding the "Clear Current Data on Target Store" Option for eCommerce Data Migration

The "Clear current data on a Target store before Migration" additional option allows you to delete existing data on your target store, specifically for the entities you've selected for automated eCommerce data migration. For instance, if you're migrating "Products" and "Taxes" from your source to your target cart, enabling this option will wipe out the existing products and tax data on your target store before the transfer begins.

This is especially useful when performing a multi-store migration, as it ensures the data is cleared only from the specific store you are migrating *to*, preventing accidental data loss elsewhere.

Important Note! This action is irreversible. Before proceeding with your eCommerce data migration, we strongly recommend creating a full backup of your target store to safeguard your data.

Why Use This Option During eCommerce Data Migration?

Using the "Clear Current Data" option during eCommerce data migration provides a clean slate on your target store. This is beneficial in several scenarios:

  • Avoiding Duplicates: Prevents duplicate entries of products, customers, or other entities.
  • Ensuring Data Consistency: Guarantees that the data on your target store accurately reflects the data from your source store.
  • Streamlining the Migration Process: Simplifies the migration by removing potentially conflicting data.
