How to Migrate from Youcan to Volusion: A Comprehensive Guide

Seamlessly Transition Your E-commerce Store from Youcan to Volusion

Embarking on an e-commerce platform migration can feel daunting, but it's a strategic move that can unlock new growth opportunities for your business. If you're looking to move your online store from Youcan to Volusion, this guide will walk you through the entire process, ensuring a smooth and efficient data transfer. Volusion offers a robust platform with extensive features, and transitioning your valuable data – including products, customers, and orders – requires careful planning and execution.

Since Youcan is not directly supported by standard migration tools via an API connection, the migration will leverage a CSV file export approach from Youcan. This method allows for a comprehensive data transfer, ensuring that virtually all your essential store entities are moved to your new Volusion store.

Prerequisites for a Successful Migration

Before you begin the migration process, it's crucial to prepare both your existing Youcan store and your new Volusion environment. This preparation will help minimize downtime and ensure data integrity.

  • For Your Youcan Store (Source):
    1. Data Export: You will need to export all your vital store data from Youcan into CSV (Comma Separated Values) files. This includes, but is not limited to:
      • Products, Product Categories, Product Manufacturers, Product Reviews
      • Customers, Orders, Invoices, Taxes
      • Store information, Coupons, CMS Pages
      • Blog Posts and Blog Categories (note: Volusion's handling of blogs may vary, and SEO options for blogs are excluded on Volusion as per platform notices).
      Ensure your CSV files are well-structured and contain all necessary fields.
    2. Data Review: Take this opportunity to review your current Youcan data. Clean up any outdated products, inactive customer accounts, or redundant information.
  • For Your Volusion Store (Target):
    1. Set Up Your Volusion Store: Ensure you have a new, functional Volusion store instance ready to receive data.
    2. Administrative Access: You'll need full administrator login credentials (adminLogin, adminPwd) for your Volusion store, along with its URL (adminUrl, url) for the migration tool to establish a connection.
    3. FTP/SFTP Access: Volusion migrations typically require FTP access to your server. This is essential for installing the migration bridge, which facilitates secure data transfer. Make sure you know your FTP host, username, and password.
    4. Install Cart2Cart Volusion Migration Module: A specific Cart2Cart Volusion Migration module is required for connecting to your Volusion target store. Ensure this plugin is installed and activated.
    5. Prepare the Target Environment: Consider installing a fresh Volusion instance or clearing any existing demo data if you plan to start fresh. Read more on how to prepare your target store for migration.

Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide

With your preparations complete, you're ready to initiate the data transfer. This guide outlines the process using a professional migration tool, which streamlines the complexities of moving your e-commerce data.

Step 1: Start Your Migration

Begin by navigating to the migration wizard. Here, you'll choose to start a new migration project.

Step 2: Connect Your Source Store (Youcan via CSV)

Since Youcan is not listed as a direct connection, you will select 'CSV File to Cart' as your source platform. Upload the CSV files you exported from your Youcan store. This method allows for a flexible and comprehensive transfer of your product SKUs, customer data, order history, and more.

Step 3: Connect Your Target Store (Volusion)

Next, select 'Volusion' as your target e-commerce platform. You will then provide your Volusion store's URL and administrative access details. The system will guide you through installing the Cart2Cart Volusion Migration module and the connection bridge on your Volusion server via FTP, ensuring secure and direct access for the data transfer.

Step 4: Select Data Entities for Migration

This crucial step allows you to specify exactly which types of data you wish to migrate from Youcan to Volusion. You can choose to migrate all available entities or select specific ones. The supported entities for this migration include:

  • Products: Including product details, images, SKUs, variants, and product categories.
  • Product Reviews: Preserve valuable customer feedback.
  • Customers: Transfer customer accounts and associated data.
  • Orders: Migrate complete order history, including status and details.
  • Manufacturers, Invoices, Taxes, Coupons, CMS Pages.

Remember that while Youcan supports blog posts, Volusion has specific limitations regarding SEO options for blogs, which should be considered when migrating blog-related content.

Step 5: Configure Additional Options and Data Mapping

This stage allows for granular control over your data transfer:

  • Additional Options: Enhance your migration with features like clearing current data on the target store, preserving Product IDs, Order IDs, and Customer IDs, migrating customer passwords, creating 301 SEO URLs to maintain link equity, and migrating images within product descriptions.
  • Data Mapping: Accurately match customer groups and order statuses from your Youcan source files to their corresponding equivalents in Volusion. This ensures data consistency and a seamless user experience post-migration.

Step 6: Run a Demo Migration and Full Migration

Before committing to the full replatforming, it’s highly recommended to perform a demo migration. This allows you to preview how a limited set of your data will appear on Volusion, verify data integrity, and address any potential issues. Once satisfied, you can proceed with the full migration. Consider adding a Migration Insurance Plan, which provides the flexibility of multiple remigrations, should you need to refine your store further after the initial transfer.

Post-Migration Steps

Once your data has been successfully transferred to Volusion, a few crucial steps remain to ensure your new store is fully operational and optimized:

  • Thorough Data Verification: Rigorously check all migrated data. Confirm that product details, images, SKUs, pricing, customer accounts, order histories, and CMS pages appear correctly. Pay close attention to variants and custom attributes.
  • SEO Configuration: Implement 301 redirects for any URLs that may have changed to preserve your search engine rankings and link equity. Volusion offers options for SEO URLs and 301 redirects, but a manual check is always advised. Update your sitemap and submit it to search engines.
  • Configure Store Settings: Set up your payment gateways, shipping methods, tax rules (Volusion supports multi-tax), and any new integrations or apps specific to Volusion.
  • Theme and Design Review: Customize your Volusion theme to match your brand identity and ensure a consistent user experience. Test responsiveness across various devices.
  • Functionality Testing: Perform extensive testing of all core store functions: customer registration, product search, adding items to the cart, checkout process, order fulfillment, and customer support features.
  • Update DNS Records: Once you are confident that your Volusion store is fully ready, update your domain's DNS records to point to your new Volusion storefront. This is the final step in cutting over to your new platform.
  • Monitor Performance: Keep a close eye on your new Volusion store's performance, user feedback, and SEO health in the weeks following the migration.
  • Consider Recent Data Migration: If your Youcan store remained active during the migration, you might have new orders or customers. Utilize a Recent Data Migration Service to transfer any delta data.

By following these steps, you can confidently switch your e-commerce operations from Youcan to Volusion, leveraging the power of a new platform for continued business growth.

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.
