What is the option of Preserving order IDs on Target store?

Preserve Order IDs During Shopping Cart Migration

Preserving Order IDs is an optional feature offered by Cart2Cart that allows you to match your source store's order IDs with those on your target store during shopping cart migration. This ensures a seamless transition and maintains consistency in your order tracking.

How to Enable Order ID Preservation

You can choose the "Preserve Order IDs" option during the Migration Setup process, specifically in the Entities Selection step.

What Happens When You Preserve Order IDs?

When enabled, the order IDs will be migrated to the target store without changes. For example, if an order has ID #19 in your source store, it will also have ID #19 in your target store after the shopping cart migration.

Important Considerations for Preserving Order IDs

Note: To avoid duplication and potential data conflicts, enabling this option typically requires the deletion of existing order data on your target store. Therefore, it is best used when migrating to a new or empty store.

When Should You Use This Feature?

Preserving Order IDs is particularly useful in the following scenarios:

  • You are migrating to a brand new store and want to maintain the original order numbering.
  • You have integrated your store with third-party systems that rely on specific order IDs.
  • You want to simplify order tracking and reporting across both your old and new stores during a transition period.
