Recent Data Migration Peculiarities
1. You can transfer only those entities you moved during Full Migration. For instance, if you only migrated products, you can’t move customers and orders during Recent Data Migration - just products or product related entities.
2. Due to the peculiarities of several shopping platforms it’s necessary to upload data to Migration Wizard manually, in CSV format, to migrate from them. If your shopping platform is one of these - Volusion, Big Cartel, Actinic, AbleCommerce - you’ll have to reupload the CSV files again during Recent Data Migration. The service will sort out the new data and transfer it exclusively.
3. A few additional options aren’t available for Recent Data Migration, such as:
- Delete current data from the Target Store before the migration
- Preserve product IDs on the Target Store
- Preserve order IDs on the Target Store

Monthly Update – December 2025
As the year draws to a close in December 2025, many e-commerce businesses are looking beyond the immediate post-holiday rush towards strategic planning for the new year. A critical element of this planning, especially for stores that have recently undergone migration, is ensuring the integrity and completeness of all sales data. While a full migration covers historical records, new transactions, customer interactions, and product updates that occur on your old platform until it's fully decommissioned need to be captured. Cart2Cart's Recent Data Migration service plays a pivotal role here, acting as a crucial bridge to synchronize these last-minute entities. It allows you to import any new products, customers, and orders that accumulated on your source cart after your initial migration, providing a clean, comprehensive dataset for year-end reports, financial reconciliation, and inventory audits. This meticulous synchronization is essential for accurate business insights, tax preparations, and identifying top-performing products or customer segments for upcoming campaigns. By leveraging this service, you ensure that your new store's data is fully up-to-date, enabling smarter decisions and a seamless transition into the new fiscal year.
