Migrate Gambio to Volusion: A Comprehensive Guide for a Smooth eCommerce Transition

A Comprehensive Guide to Transitioning from Gambio to Volusion

Embarking on an e-commerce platform migration can be a pivotal moment for your online business. If you're considering a move from Gambio to Volusion, you're looking to transition from a self-hosted solution to a robust, cloud-based platform designed for growth. Volusion offers a comprehensive suite of integrated tools, secure hosting, and scalability, making it an attractive destination for merchants seeking to streamline operations and enhance their online presence.

This guide provides a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough for migrating your valuable store data from Gambio to Volusion, ensuring a seamless data transfer. We'll leverage an expert migration service to guarantee data integrity, minimize downtime, and preserve your SEO rankings throughout the transition.

Prerequisites for a Successful Migration

Before initiating your store migration, a thorough preparation phase is crucial. Addressing these prerequisites will lay the groundwork for a smooth and efficient transition, safeguarding your essential data and ensuring a ready environment on both platforms.

  • For Your Gambio (Source) Store:
    • Full Data Backup: Always create a complete backup of your Gambio store's database and files. This is a critical safety measure before any major changes.
    • FTP/SFTP Access: You will need secure FTP or SFTP access credentials to your Gambio store's root folder to upload a connection bridge, which facilitates the data transfer. Understanding what a root folder is will be beneficial.
    • Install Gambio Migration Module: Ensure the required Cart2Cart Gambio Migration module is installed on your Gambio platform. This plugin is essential for establishing a secure connection.
    • Admin Access Credentials: Have your Gambio administrative login and password readily available. Refer to The Short & Essential Guide to Access Credentials for Cart2Cart for best practices.
    • Data Review: Take inventory of your current data, including product SKUs, variants, customer data, order history, and CMS pages, to ensure you know exactly what needs to be moved.
  • For Your Volusion (Target) Store:
    • New Volusion Store Setup: If you haven't already, set up a new Volusion store. This will be the destination for all your migrated data.
    • Admin Access Credentials: Ensure you have full administrative access to your Volusion dashboard.
    • Install Volusion Migration Module: Install the necessary Cart2Cart Volusion Migration module, as it is required for your Volusion store to receive the data.
    • Review Target Store: Consider if your Volusion store already contains any data. The migration tool offers an option to clear existing data before migration.
    • Familiarization: Understand Volusion's data structure for products, categories, customers, and orders to assist with data mapping.
  • General Preparations:
    • Stable Internet Connection: Ensure a reliable internet connection throughout the migration process.
    • Allocate Sufficient Time: While the migration service automates much of the process, allocate time for setup, verification, and post-migration tasks.
    • Consider Professional Assistance: For complex migrations, services like Premium Data Migration Service can provide expert guidance.

Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide

With your preparations complete, it's time to initiate the data transfer from Gambio to Volusion. Follow these steps using the Cart2Cart migration wizard to ensure a smooth transition.

Step 1: Start Your Migration

Begin by navigating to the migration service platform. You will typically be presented with options to start a new migration. Choose the 'Start a Free Demo Migration' or 'Start Full Migration' option to begin the wizard.

Step 2: Connect Your Gambio Source Store

In the migration wizard, you'll be prompted to set up your source store.

  1. From the dropdown list, select Gambio as your Source Cart.
  2. Enter the full URL of your existing Gambio store.
  3. Since Gambio uses a "Bridge only" connection method and requires a "Plugin installation," you will need to download the connection bridge file provided by the migration service.
  4. Upload this bridge file to the root folder of your Gambio store via FTP/SFTP. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for the migration tool to access your Gambio data.

Step 3: Connect Your Volusion Target Store

Next, configure your Volusion target store:

  1. From the dropdown menu, select Volusion as your Target Cart.
  2. Provide the complete URL of your new Volusion store.
  3. Enter your Volusion admin login and password. Similar to Gambio, Volusion also utilizes a "Bridge only" connection method and requires the Cart2Cart Volusion Migration module to be installed for secure data transfer.

Step 4: Select Data Entities for Transfer

This critical step allows you to define exactly which data entities you want to move from Gambio to Volusion. The supported entities for migration include:

  • Products, Product Categories, Product Manufacturers, Product Reviews
  • Customers
  • Orders
  • Invoices
  • Taxes
  • Stores (if multi-store setup is involved)
  • Coupons
  • CMS Pages

You can choose to migrate "All entities" with a single click or selectively pick specific data types based on your requirements.

Step 5: Configure Additional Migration Options

This section offers a range of powerful options to customize your data transfer and ensure data integrity and SEO preservation. Some key options include:

  • Preserve IDs: Opt to Preserve Product IDs, Category IDs, Orders IDs, and Customers IDs to maintain existing relationships and links.
  • Create Variants from Attributes: Crucial for products with multiple options (e.g., size, color).
  • Migrate Images in Description: Ensures all product-related imagery embedded in descriptions is transferred.
  • SEO URLs & 301 SEO URLs: Enable these options to maintain your SEO rankings and link equity by automatically generating SEO-friendly URLs and setting up 301 redirects. This is vital for search engine visibility.
  • Password Migration: Migrate customer passwords securely, improving user experience.
  • Clear Target Store Data: If your Volusion store has existing data that you wish to remove before migration, select this option. Learn more about clearing target store data.
  • Migrate Invoices: Transfer all your existing invoice records.
  • Migrate Groups to Tags: Convert customer groups from Gambio into a tag system in Volusion.

Note: While comprehensive, be aware of any multi-store limitations for BigCommerce variants mentioned by the service, and note that SEO options might be excluded for blogs if your Gambio store had a blog.

Step 6: Map Data Fields

The data mapping step ensures that specific fields from your Gambio store correctly align with their equivalents in Volusion. This typically involves matching:

  • Customer Groups Mapping: Associate customer groups from Gambio (e.g., "Wholesale" or "VIP") to corresponding groups or tags in Volusion.
  • Orders Status Mapping: Match order statuses (e.g., "Pending," "Processing," "Completed") from Gambio to Volusion's order lifecycle.

Accurate data mapping is essential for maintaining data integrity and a consistent user experience post-migration.

Step 7: Perform Demo Migration & Full Migration

Before committing to the full data transfer, always run a Free Demo Migration. This transfers a limited number of entities, allowing you to:

  • Test the connection and ensure all settings are correct.
  • Preview how your products, customers, and orders will appear in Volusion.
  • Identify and resolve any potential issues before the full migration.

Once you're satisfied with the demo results, proceed to the Full Migration. At this stage, you might also consider adding a Migration Insurance Plan, which provides a set number of remigrations for a specified period, offering peace of mind. Understand how migration insurance works.

Post-Migration Steps

The migration doesn't end once the data transfer is complete. These crucial post-migration tasks will help you optimize your new Volusion store and ensure a smooth launch.

  • Thorough Data Verification: Carefully review all migrated data on your Volusion store. Check product SKUs, variants, descriptions, images, categories, customer accounts, order history, reviews, and CMS pages to ensure everything transferred correctly and displays as expected.
  • Design and Theme Customization: Volusion offers a wide range of themes. Customize your chosen theme to align with your brand identity, ensuring a compelling user experience.
  • Configure Functionality:
    • Payment Gateways: Set up and test your preferred payment processing methods (e.g., credit card processors, PayPal).
    • Shipping Methods: Configure your shipping zones, carriers, and rates.
    • Apps and Plugins: Explore the Volusion App Store for any additional apps or plugins needed for specific functionalities that were available on Gambio or are new to your business operations.
  • SEO and Redirects:
    • Verify 301 Redirects: If you used the "Create 301 SEO URLs" option, verify that all essential URLs from your old Gambio store correctly redirect to their new counterparts on Volusion. This is vital for maintaining your SEO rankings and preventing broken links.
    • Update DNS Records: Point your domain name to your new Volusion store by updating your DNS settings.
    • Submit Sitemaps: Submit your new Volusion sitemap to search engines like Google Search Console.
  • Test Everything: Conduct comprehensive testing of your entire store functionality. This includes browsing products, adding items to the cart, the checkout process, customer account creation and login, and any custom forms or features.
  • Announce Your New Store: Once satisfied with all aspects, officially launch your new Volusion store. Update social media, email newsletters, and any other online presence to inform your customers about the transition.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Continue to monitor your store's performance, user feedback, and SEO health in the weeks following the launch.

By diligently following these steps, you can achieve a successful and efficient migration from Gambio to Volusion, positioning your business for continued growth and success on your new platform.

Really great service. We migrated an old Gambio shop to Shopware. The Shopware internal tool was not compatible to that Gambio version so we needed another tool to migrate products and customer data. The support of cart2cart was very nice and helped us with some issues we had with that old Gambio Version.

We will use the service of cart2cart in futures projects too!

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!
