Yes, our service creates redirects to the new products and categories after migrations to and from Magento shopping cart. In order to proceed with them, merchants will have to select an additional option “Create 301 redirects on your target store after migration” during the entities selection step on Migration Wizard.

Beware of such pecularities:

1. Magento doesn't allow trailing slashes in its URLs, so they will be trimmed after migration. For example, if your URL looks like this: www.myoldstore.com/electronics/ipod-nano/, it’ll look like this when the migration is finished - www.mynewstore.com/electronics/ipod-nano

2. Magento adds “index.php” to its URLs, by default. To prevent this do the following:

• Log in to Magento
• Step to System->Configuration
• Click on Web in the General section
• Under Search Engine Optimisation, set Use Web Server Rewrites to Yes, under Secure set Use Secure URLs in Frontend to Yes too. Then, click Save config.
• Create an .htaccess file in Magento root directory and put the this code in it:
  

  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  </IfModule>

  If your Magento store is in the subdirectory - use this code:
  

  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /shop/
  RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /shop/index.php [L]
  </IfModule>

• Save the changes.

3. To activate redirects after the transfer to Magento, you’ll have to perform data reindex.

Yes, Cart2Cart provides migration of invoices within Magento and PrestaShop as an additional option. Credit memos and shipments are also migrated, but within Magento stores only.

You may need to clear the Magento cache and rebuild the SEO Links for categories/products after migration.

Please log into your Magento admin section, go to System -> Cache Management

Yes, Cart2Cart supports Magento-to-Magento migration. It can easily transfer your store items to a new Magento store including Related Products, Up-Sell and Cross-Sell Products, Bundle and Grouped Products. The cost of the option is $69. It is an effective way to upgrade your Magento store without much efforts. For more info check https://www.shopping-cart-migration.com/supported-carts/55-magento (more…)

It is due to the Magento platform peculiarities that order number is built in a specific way. The first number is the ID of your store, the following is the order ID. All new orders in Magento platform will look like #1000X. For instance, Magento order #100035 where 1 is the Store ID and 35 - the incremented order ID. That’s why when choosing the option Preserve Order IDs all the previous orders will be migrated after Magento pattern, i.e. #X - > #1000X for the proper system functioning.

Cart2Cart doesn’t migrate Lifetime sales. This report generates automatically on the Target store after migration. Each version of Magento uses a different algorithm to calculate Lifetime sales. Due to this peculiarity, sometimes after data transfer the number can be incorrect.

If your Lifetime sales are not updating correctly, follow this link to read how to refresh the statistics.

In order to display products from sub-categories in root category at Magento you need to:

1. Login to your Magento Admin panel -> Catalog -> Manage Categories -> "Select Category" -> Display Settings -> Is Anchor = "Yes"

Yes, Cart2Cart provides a possibility to migrate reviews to as well as from Magento.

Magento is a shopping cart that has it’s own system of products number accounting. All the child products are counted as simple products in a row with their parent products.

That is why, if you are moving from Magento to shopping cart that has another accounting system, the number of products may be different.

In case you will have questions, please, feel free to contact our Support Team for further instructions.

Yes, Cart2Cart supports the transfers of Downloadable Products and orders with Downloadable Products to and from Magento shopping cart. However, such migrations have some peculiarities:

1. As opposed to other platforms, Magento has a separate Product Type for Downloadable Products, so each of these items is given a main title and can include multiple downloadable files. Thus, if you’re migrating such files to Magento, their main product titles will always be “Downloadable” on your target store, whilst the titles of downloadable files, themselves, will be preserved.

2. Currently, we don’t migrate samples of Downloadable Products.

Orders that include Downloadable Products, will be migrated with no complications.

Yes, Cart2Cart supports migration of manufacturer images to or from Magento. However, to make it possible, you need to install an additional free module on your Magento store prior to migration.

Cart2Cart enables you to transfer your Order Full IDs if you pick up additional option “Preserve order IDs on Target Store”. This option allows you to keep your Source Store IDs on the Target Store during the migration process.

However, preserving Order IDs on Magento has some peculiarities due to platform’s architecture. Cart2Cart will migrate Order Full IDs from and to Magento if they contain figures only (no other symbols or letters) and additional option “Preserve order IDs on Target Store” is chosen.

Example: Source Store order #17 will be migrated as the Target Store order #17.

NOTE: If your Source Store Order IDs contain other symbols than simple figures, Cart2Cart will migrate only numbers after “0”.

Example: Source Store order #2-100000034 will be migrated as the Target Store order #34.
