Watch this short video to understand how the "Migrate images from products descriptions and categories descriptions" option works during your data migration with Cart2Cart.

Product descriptions may contain images that are required to be moved while migrating store to another shopping cart.

Example of product description with images for data migration

If you don’t choose the "Migrate Images from Products Descriptions and Categories Descriptions" option during your data migration, your products will be displayed without the images integrated into their descriptions on your new store. This can negatively impact the presentation and potentially reduce sales.

Note: If you intend to migrate images, avoid selecting the "Strip HTML from categories and product names and description" option. These options in combination can prevent the images from being transferred correctly during the data migration process. Consider using additional options, such as Preserve order IDs or Create the 301 redirects on the target store after migration to improve your store SEO.
