Why the number of products after migration differs from one that has been shown on Magento?

Why Does the Number of Products Differ After Magento Data Migration?

Are you noticing a discrepancy in the number of products after migrating your data from Magento? This is a common concern when migrating to a different e-commerce platform, and here's why it happens.

Magento's Unique Product Accounting System

Magento employs a specific system for counting products, particularly when dealing with product variations. It counts each child product (e.g., a specific size or color variation of a shirt) as a separate, simple product, alongside its parent product. This means that a single configurable product with multiple variations will be counted multiple times in Magento's product count.

Product Count Differences After Data Migration

When you migrate your data using a data migration service like Cart2Cart to a platform that uses a different product accounting method (e.g., where variations are tracked differently), the total product count may differ. The target platform might only count the parent product and track variations within that single product record, leading to a lower overall product count.

For example, if you are migrating from Magento to Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce, you might see a difference in the number of products. This doesn't mean that any products are missing; it simply reflects the different way each platform manages product variations and counts.
