Migrate Goodsie to PrestaShop: The Ultimate 2025 Guide

Seamlessly Transition Your E-commerce Store: Goodsie to PrestaShop Migration

As the e-commerce landscape continuously evolves, platforms emerge and retire. For many merchants, the closure of Goodsie meant finding a new home for their online businesses. If you're looking for a robust, feature-rich, and highly customizable open-source solution, PrestaShop stands out as an excellent choice for your next digital storefront.

PrestaShop offers unparalleled control over your store's design, functionality, and data, backed by a vibrant community and a vast marketplace of modules and themes. This guide is designed to provide you with a clear, actionable roadmap for transitioning your valuable Goodsie store data to a new PrestaShop environment, ensuring your business continues to thrive without interruption. We'll cover everything from preparing your data to the final post-migration checks, making your replatforming journey as smooth as possible.

Prerequisites for a Successful Migration

Before embarking on your data transfer from Goodsie to PrestaShop, a few essential preparations are necessary to ensure a seamless process and maintain data integrity. Since Goodsie is no longer active, the fundamental step involves having your data readily available, typically in CSV format.

  • Goodsie Data Export: As Goodsie is no longer supported, it's critical that you have previously exported your store's data. This includes all products (with SKUs, variants, descriptions, images), customer information, order history, and any other relevant content. This data should be organized into CSV files, which will serve as your source for the migration. If you haven't yet exported your data, you will need to rely on any backups you may have or consider data recovery options, though these are outside the scope of this migration guide.
  • PrestaShop Installation: Ensure you have a fresh installation of PrestaShop ready on your hosting environment. This will be your target store, where all your Goodsie data will be imported. For guidance, refer to our How to prepare Target store for migration? FAQ.
  • FTP/cPanel Access: You'll need FTP or cPanel access to your PrestaShop hosting to upload the connection bridge, a small file that facilitates communication between the migration tool and your PrestaShop store. Understanding What is a root folder and where can I find it? will be helpful.
  • Cart2Cart Account: Create an account with a reliable migration service, such as Cart2Cart, which will facilitate the data transfer.
  • Review and Clean Goodsie Data: Before importing, review your exported CSV files. Clean up any outdated, duplicate, or incorrect information to ensure only high-quality data is transferred to your new PrestaShop store.

Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to migrate your Goodsie store data to PrestaShop using a specialized migration tool:

Step 1: Get Started with the Migration Wizard

Your migration journey begins by initiating the process through the migration wizard. This is typically done on the migration service provider's website.

Log in to your account (or create one if you haven't already). You'll usually be presented with options to start a new migration.

Step 2: Configure Your Source Store (Goodsie via CSV)

Since Goodsie is no longer a live platform, your data will be migrated from CSV files. This step involves telling the migration wizard where to find your Goodsie data.

  • Select Source Cart: From the dropdown menu, choose "CSVTOCART" (or "CSV File to Cart") as your Source Cart.
  • Upload CSV Files: You will be prompted to upload your prepared CSV files containing all your Goodsie products, product categories, manufacturers, reviews, customers, orders, invoices, taxes, stores, coupons, CMS pages, and blog posts. For more details on this method, visit our CSV.File Data Migration page.

Step 3: Set Up Your Target Store (PrestaShop)

Next, you need to connect the migration tool to your newly installed PrestaShop store. This is where your Goodsie data will ultimately reside.

  • Select Target Cart: Choose "PrestaShop" from the Target Cart dropdown list.
  • Enter Admin URL: Provide the Admin URL of your PrestaShop store.
  • Choose Connection Method: The most common and recommended method for PrestaShop is to upload a Connection Bridge. Follow the on-screen instructions: download the bridge file, extract the 'bridge2cart' folder, and upload it via FTP to the root directory of your PrestaShop installation.
  • Install Plugin: As per PrestaShop's requirements, you will need to install the 'Cart2Cart Universal PrestaShop Migration module'. This plugin facilitates the data transfer and is crucial for a successful migration.

Step 4: Select Data Entities for Migration

This critical step allows you to specify exactly which types of data you want to transfer from your Goodsie CSV files to PrestaShop.

You can choose to migrate All Entities, or individually select specific data types. The tool supports the migration of a comprehensive range of entities, including:

  • Products
  • Product Categories
  • Product Manufacturers
  • Product Reviews
  • Customers
  • Orders
  • Invoices
  • Taxes
  • Stores
  • Coupons
  • CMS Pages
  • Blogs & Blog Posts

Step 5: Configure Additional Options & Map Data

This stage allows for fine-tuning your migration to meet specific business needs and ensures data consistency between your old Goodsie data and your new PrestaShop store.

Additional Migration Options

Review and select from various advanced options to customize your data transfer:

  • Clear Target Store Data: Opt to Clear current data on Target store before migration option if your PrestaShop installation isn't fresh and contains unwanted demo data.
  • Migrate Images in Description: Ensure product and category images embedded within descriptions are transferred.
  • Preserve IDs: Maintain original Product IDs, Order IDs, and Customer IDs in PrestaShop. Learn more about How Preserve IDs options can be used?
  • Create 301 SEO URLs: This is crucial for maintaining your SEO rankings and link equity by automatically redirecting old Goodsie URLs to their new PrestaShop counterparts.
  • Migrate Passwords: Transfer customer passwords securely.
  • Skip Custom Attributes: Choose to exclude custom product attributes if they are not needed in PrestaShop.

Data Mapping Setup

Map your Goodsie customer groups and order statuses to the corresponding fields in PrestaShop. This ensures that your customer data and order history retain their original context and functionality in the new store.

Step 6: Initiate Your Migration

With all configurations set, you're ready to proceed with the data transfer.

  • Run a Free Demo Migration: It's highly recommended to run a free demo migration first. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to see how the data appears in your PrestaShop store and verify the process.
  • Review Demo Results: Carefully inspect the migrated data in your PrestaShop store after the demo. Check product details, images, customer accounts, and order information.
  • Start Full Migration: Once satisfied with the demo, proceed with the full migration. This will transfer all selected data from your Goodsie CSVs to PrestaShop. Consider adding Migration Insurance Service for peace of mind, allowing for additional remigrations if needed.

Post-Migration Steps

After your data has been successfully transferred to PrestaShop, a few crucial steps remain to ensure your new store is fully operational and optimized.

  • Thorough Testing: Conduct comprehensive testing of your PrestaShop store. Verify that all products, categories, customer accounts, and order histories are correctly displayed. Test the entire checkout process, payment gateways, and shipping methods to ensure a smooth user experience.
  • Update DNS Settings: Once you are confident in your new PrestaShop store, update your domain's DNS settings to point to your new hosting environment. This will make your PrestaShop store live to the world.
  • Configure SEO & Redirects: While the migration tool can create 301 redirects, it's essential to verify them. Implement any additional 301 redirects for specific pages that might have changed URLs to preserve your SEO rankings and link equity. Submit your new sitemap to search engines like Google Search Console. Explore What are the potential benefits of a website migration? for more insights.
  • Install Essential Modules & Themes: Enhance your PrestaShop store's functionality and aesthetics by installing necessary modules and a suitable theme. This could include SEO modules, payment gateways, marketing tools, and performance optimizers.
  • Remove Old Goodsie Data: Once your PrestaShop store is fully functional and live, you can safely decommission or remove any remaining Goodsie data or access.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Continuously monitor your new PrestaShop store for performance, errors, and user feedback. Make adjustments as needed to optimize the shopping experience.

Migrating from Goodsie to PrestaShop can seem daunting, but by following this structured guide and leveraging the right tools, you can ensure a successful transition. Should you require expert assistance or have complex migration needs, don't hesitate to Contact Us for specialized support.

Great service which allowed us to transfer products, customers and orders database of our customer from Virtuemart to Prestashop 2 times: a first time in order to prepare the new website and a second time in order to update new customers and new orders placed in the meantime. Without Cart2Cart this would have been more complicated… A great customer service also, very available and very competent. Thanks to them

This was the only service that worked for X-Cart5 to PrestaShop migration. Other paid service (even a paid “pro” module on PrestaShop store) revealed completely useless. With Cart2Cart I was able to test migration and quickly see any issue on the target shop. I recommend it

Brilliant…I needed to migrate from oscommerce to Prestashop and Cart2cart made it so very easy. I was doubtful at first so I ran the on-line demo which put me at ease as it so worked well that I went to the next stage and migrated the entire shop. Completed in minutes, no need for any support just followed the simple on-screen instructions and that’s all there was to it. Thank you it was worth every penny
