Migrate from Brightpearl to Volusion: Your Step-by-Step E-commerce Transfer Guide

Seamlessly Migrate Your E-commerce Store from Brightpearl to Volusion

Embarking on an e-commerce platform migration is a significant undertaking that promises enhanced capabilities and a revitalized online presence. If you're planning to transition your store from Brightpearl to Volusion, this comprehensive guide will walk you through every critical step, ensuring a smooth and successful data transfer. While Brightpearl doesn't offer direct API integration for automatic migration with all tools, we'll leverage a robust CSV-based approach to move your valuable data to Volusion, a platform known for its user-friendly interface and comprehensive features.

Moving your digital storefront isn't just about shifting products; it's about preserving your customer relationships, order history, and hard-earned SEO rankings. Volusion offers a powerful foundation for your new chapter, and by following these steps, you can ensure data integrity and minimal disruption during your replatforming journey.

Prerequisites for a Successful Migration

Before initiating your store transfer, thorough preparation is paramount. Here’s what you need to get ready on both your Brightpearl (via CSV) and Volusion platforms:

  • Brightpearl Data Export (Source Store Preparation): Since a direct API connection isn't typically available for Brightpearl in this context, you'll need to export your store's data into CSV (Comma Separated Values) files. This includes critical entities such as products (with SKUs, variants, descriptions), product categories, customer records, order history, reviews, invoices, taxes, coupons, and CMS pages. Organize these files carefully, ensuring all necessary fields are present and data is clean for import. For more insights, refer to our guide on CSV.File Data Migration.
  • Volusion Store Setup (Target Store Preparation):
    1. Set up your Volusion Store: Ensure your new Volusion store is fully installed and accessible. You should have administrative access to the backend.
    2. Install Cart2Cart Volusion Migration Module: Volusion requires a specific migration module for the transfer. You will need to install the Cart2Cart Volusion Migration module on your Volusion store. This module facilitates the connection and data exchange between the migration tool and your new platform.
    3. Grant FTP Access: For the migration tool to establish a 'bridge' connection with your Volusion store, you'll need to provide FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access credentials. This allows the secure transfer of the bridge file to your Volusion store's root directory. Ensure you know what a root folder is and where to find it.
    For detailed guidance on preparing your target store, please see How to prepare Target store for migration?
  • Data Backup: Always create a complete backup of your existing Brightpearl data before starting any migration process. This safeguards your information against any unforeseen issues.
  • Review Your SEO Strategy: Document your current URL structure, meta titles, descriptions, and keywords. This will be crucial for maintaining your SEO rankings and link equity post-migration.
  • Inform Your Customers: While the goal is minimal downtime, it's good practice to notify your customers about the upcoming transition if you anticipate any brief interruptions.

Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide

With your preparations complete, you're ready to initiate the data transfer. This process leverages a user-friendly migration wizard to guide you.

Step 1: Start Your Migration

Begin by accessing the migration wizard. Here, you'll typically be presented with options to start a new migration. Choose the option to start a do-it-yourself migration to proceed with the wizard.

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

This is where you specify the origin of your e-commerce data. For your Brightpearl store, you will select the 'CsvToCart' option as your source platform. You'll then be prompted to upload the prepared CSV files containing your products, customer records, orders, and other essential data.

Step 3: Configure Your Target Store (Volusion)

Next, you'll define your destination. Select 'Volusion' from the list of target platforms. You'll need to provide your Volusion store's URL and the connection details. This step also involves verifying the installation of the Cart2Cart Volusion Migration module and the successful upload of the bridge file via FTP, which enables secure communication between the migration tool and your new Volusion store.

Step 4: Select Data Entities for Transfer

Here, you'll choose precisely which types of data you want to move from your Brightpearl CSVs to Volusion. The supported entities for Volusion include:

  • Products (including SKUs and variants)
  • Product Categories
  • Product Manufacturers
  • Product Reviews
  • Customer accounts
  • Orders
  • Invoices
  • Taxes
  • Stores
  • Coupons
  • CMS Pages

You can choose to migrate all available entities or select them individually based on your specific needs.

Step 5: Configure Additional Migration Options

This crucial step allows you to fine-tune your migration with various optional features to preserve data integrity and enhance your new store's functionality:

  • Preserve IDs: Opt to retain your original Product IDs, Orders IDs, and Customers IDs to maintain consistency with historical data and external integrations. Read more about How Preserve IDs options can be used?
  • Migrate Images in Description: Ensure product images embedded within descriptions are transferred correctly.
  • Password Migration: Securely migrate customer passwords, allowing your existing customers to log in to your new Volusion store seamlessly.
  • SEO URLs & 301 SEO URLs: Configure settings to preserve your current SEO structure and automatically create 301 redirects to maintain link equity and prevent broken links.
  • Clear Target Store Data: You have the option to clear any existing demo data on your Volusion store before the migration to ensure a clean slate. Learn about Clearing current data on Target store before migration option.
  • Skip Custom Attributes: If you have custom product attributes you don't wish to migrate, you can choose to skip them.

Step 6: Map Data Fields

Data mapping is essential for ensuring that information from your Brightpearl CSV files aligns correctly with the corresponding fields in Volusion. You'll typically map customer groups and order statuses from your source data to their equivalents in Volusion. This ensures that your customer segmentation and order workflow remain consistent.

Step 7: Perform Demo & Full Migration

Before committing to the full data transfer, it's highly recommended to run a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities and review the results, ensuring everything is mapped correctly and functions as expected. Once you're satisfied with the demo, you can proceed with the full migration. Consider adding a Migration Insurance Service for peace of mind, offering remigrations if any issues arise.

Post-Migration Steps

Completing the migration is a significant milestone, but your work isn't quite done. These post-migration tasks are crucial for optimizing your new Volusion store and ensuring a seamless user experience:

  • Thorough Data Verification: Rigorously check all migrated data. Verify product details, pricing, stock levels, customer accounts, order history, and CMS pages. Ensure images, descriptions, and variants transferred accurately.
  • Functionality Testing: Test all critical functionalities of your Volusion store. Place test orders, verify payment gateways, shipping options, user registration, search functions, and contact forms.
  • Update DNS Records: Once you're confident in your new Volusion store, update your domain's DNS (Domain Name System) records to point to the new platform. This is the moment your new store goes live.
  • Implement 301 Redirects: While the migration tool can handle many 301 redirects, review any custom URLs or specific pages to ensure all old links from Brightpearl correctly redirect to their new Volusion counterparts. This preserves your SEO rankings and prevents broken links.
  • Monitor SEO Performance: Keep a close eye on your search engine rankings using tools like Google Search Console. Address any crawl errors or sudden drops in traffic promptly.
  • Remove Old Store Access: Once your Volusion store is fully operational and verified, you can decommission your old Brightpearl platform and remove any sensitive access credentials. For questions about security, refer to Is it safe to provide your company with my access details?
  • Announce Your New Store: Inform your customers about your exciting new Volusion store! Highlight any new features or improved user experience.

Migrating from Brightpearl (via CSV) to Volusion is a structured process that, when executed carefully, leads to a more efficient and powerful e-commerce presence. By following this guide and utilizing the right tools, you can confidently make the transition and unlock Volusion's full potential for your business.

Many of my customers have Magento 1 stores. This year Magento will stop supporting this system and because of this these customers need to migrate to another system. Migration can be difficult and very time consuming process. But then i found Cart2Cart. There solution is the best and affordable. With the first migration there where some problems, but i did made some mistakes with filling in the correct fields to get a connection between the current and the target store. After starting a chat these problems where fixed very quickly. Support is very good and there solution is very affordable. The perfect solution!

We were in need of migrating 10.000 orders & customers from a PrestaShop site to a Magento site, already being in use. We therefore needed to be extra careful not to erase any of the existing data, which is why we seeked out the service of Cart2Cart. With a readily available customer service providing guidance and support during the entire process, we felt secure in the choice of Cart2Cart. We also enjoyed the possibility to do a test migration to be able to verify the values, before going ahead with a full migration. The full migration was surprisingly quick, within just a couple of minutes we had successfully transfered all the data, without experiencing any issues on the site. I’d recommend Cart2Cart to anyone who are looking to simplify the process of migrating.
