Migrate Source Store categories/subcategories into Shopify Automated Collections

Migrate Categories to Shopify as Automated Collections for Seamless eCommerce Data Migration

Please note that Shopify has a specific system of categories and subcategories. The categories are called collections, and subcategories are organized according to product tags. Collections are of two kinds: manual and automated.

When performing an eCommerce data migration to Shopify using Cart2Cart, the additional option “Migrate Source Store categories into Shopify Automated Collections” ensures that your product categories and subcategories are transferred to automated (smart) collections of the 1st level. The products will receive tags and will be arranged into the corresponding collections, with all the relations between subcategories of the source store preserved.

It is strongly recommended to choose this additional option while migrating product categories and subcategories to Shopify using Cart2Cart's Shopify data migration service. This will save you significant time and effort by automating the arrangement of tags into collections. Without this option, the categories of the first level will migrate into collections, but the products will receive tags without being automatically organized according to the source store's structure. This is especially useful if you're migrating from platforms like Magento, WooCommerce, or OpenCart where category structures can be complex.
