Why Wasn’t the Price and Quantity of My Etsy Store Product Variants Migrated to My Current Store?

Due to the technical peculiarities of Etsy, it is impossible to export the price and quantity of product variants directly during a data migration. This limitation stems from how Etsy structures its product data. The price and quantity information is inherently tied to the parent product listing, not the individual variant. Therefore, during a data migration, only the price and quantity of the parent product can be extracted.

If migrating from Etsy is important to you, Cart2Cart offers a solution. While direct migration of variant pricing and inventory is unavailable, our service can migrate the core product data, including descriptions and images. You can then manually update the price and quantity for each variant within your new store after the migration is complete. This ensures all your product information is accurately represented.

• Consider a data migration to move your product data, customer information, and order history.

• Schedule a call with a Migration Expert to discuss your migration needs and find the best solution.

Are Customers and Orders Migrated During Etsy Data Migration?

When performing an eCommerce data migration from Etsy, it's important to understand how customer and order information is handled. Cart2Cart can migrate your order data from Etsy to your new platform.

Customer Data Limitations During Etsy Data Migration

The only source of customer data available for retrieval from Etsy is the orders file. Critically, this file lacks customer email addresses. To address this limitation during your eCommerce data migration, Cart2Cart will create placeholder email addresses in the format "[email protected]" on your target store for each customer.

Note: Only customers associated with completed orders will be migrated to your target store. Shoppers without any order history on Etsy cannot be transferred due to data limitations.

Can Cart2Cart Migrate Categories from Etsy?

Due to Etsy's unique structure, its categories function more like tags than traditional hierarchical categories. Therefore, when performing a data migration from Etsy using Cart2Cart, all Etsy categories, with the exception of the top category, will be migrated as tags to your target store. This is because Etsy's system doesn't fully align with the category structures of most other e-commerce platforms.

This approach ensures that all the descriptive information associated with your products on Etsy is preserved during the data migration. While they won't be organized in the same hierarchical category structure, the tags will allow customers to easily find products based on the keywords and categories they were previously associated with on Etsy.

Cart2Cart offers flexible migration options to customize how your data is transferred. You can further refine your store's organization after the migration is complete. Cart2Cart supports a wide variety of e-commerce platforms for your target store.

Will I Save Customer-Product Connections When Migrating from Etsy?

Unfortunately, no. Etsy's product data export doesn't include unique ID information that links customers to specific products they've purchased. Therefore, these customer-product connections cannot be preserved or recreated on your new store after the migration.

During an eCommerce data migration, Cart2Cart focuses on transferring product details, customer information, order history, and other key data points. However, without the necessary ID links in the source data (Etsy, in this case), migrating customer-product relationships is technically impossible. Cart2Cart does its best to migrate all available data accurately, but the limitations of the source platform's data structure influence the migration outcome. If you want to migrate to another platform, consider supported platforms by Cart2Cart.

Why Unique Product IDs Are Important for Data Migration

Unique product IDs serve as the crucial link between customers and their orders. They allow you to track customer preferences, personalize marketing efforts, and provide targeted product recommendations. Without these IDs, that level of detail cannot be transferred. Cart2Cart provides data migration services that migrate all the data available on the source platform.

What Data *Can* Be Migrated from Etsy?

Even though customer-product connections can't be moved, you can still migrate essential data from Etsy to your new platform, including:

• Products (names, descriptions, images, prices, variations)
• Customers (names, addresses, contact information)
• Orders (order details, dates, statuses)
• Categories

Cart2Cart ensures a secure and reliable data migration process for all these data entities.
