Get ready to unlock the full potential of your online business with Volusion!

Prerequisites for a Successful Aabaco to Volusion Migration

Before you initiate the data transfer from your Aabaco store to Volusion, careful preparation is key to ensuring a smooth and error-free transition. Addressing these prerequisites will minimize downtime and potential data inconsistencies.

  • New Volusion Store Setup: Ensure you have a fresh Volusion store ready. While not strictly necessary to configure extensively, having the basic setup in place provides a target for your incoming data. You can learn more about preparing your target store here: How to prepare Target store for migration?
  • Aabaco Data Export (CSV Files): Since Aabaco is a legacy platform and direct API connections are often unavailable for such migrations, your data will need to be exported into CSV files. This includes critical entities such as:
    • Products (with all details like SKUs, descriptions, images, variants)
    • Product Categories
    • Customer records
    • Order history
    • Manufacturer information
    • Product Reviews
    • CMS Pages (if applicable)
    • Coupons and Taxes

    Thoroughly organize and review your exported CSV files to ensure data integrity and completeness. This step is crucial, as the quality of your CSV exports directly impacts the quality of your migration. For more details on preparing your source store, refer to: How to prepare Source store for migration?

  • Volusion Bridge Installation: Volusion migrations typically require a 'bridge' file for secure data exchange. This involves installing a specific module (e.g., Cart2Cart Volusion Migration module) and then uploading a bridge file to your Volusion store's root directory via FTP. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for the migration tool to connect with your Volusion database. You'll need FTP access to your Volusion store's hosting environment to perform this action. Understanding access credentials is vital: The Short & Essential Guide to Access Credentials for Cart2Cart.
  • Data Backup: Always perform a complete backup of your current Aabaco store data before starting any migration process. This provides a safety net in case any unforeseen issues arise.

Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide

With your preparations complete, you're ready to initiate the data transfer. We'll guide you through using a dedicated migration wizard, designed to simplify this complex process.

Step 1: Get Started with the Migration Wizard

Begin your migration journey by accessing the migration wizard. This user-friendly interface will guide you through each stage of the data transfer process.

You can choose to start a do-it-yourself migration directly from this point.

Step 2: Source Store Setup (Aabaco via CSV)

The first critical step in the wizard is to define your source store. Since you are migrating from Aabaco, which often requires a CSV export, you will select 'CSV File to Cart' as your source platform.

You'll then be prompted to upload your carefully prepared CSV files containing your Aabaco store's data. For assistance with CSV file migrations, consider our CSV.File Data Migration service.

Step 3: Target Store Setup (Volusion)

Next, you'll specify Volusion as your target e-commerce platform. Provide your Volusion store's URL in the designated field. This is where the migration tool will send your Aabaco data.

As mentioned in the prerequisites, you'll need to install the 'Cart2Cart Volusion Migration module' and upload the bridge file to your Volusion store's root directory via FTP. The wizard will typically verify this connection automatically.

Step 4: Select Data Entities for Transfer

In this crucial step, you choose exactly which data entities you want to move from your Aabaco CSV files to your new Volusion store. The platform supports a wide range of entities, including:

  • Products (including product variants, images, descriptions)
  • Product Categories
  • Customers
  • Orders (with order statuses)
  • Manufacturers
  • Product Reviews
  • Invoices
  • Taxes
  • CMS Pages
  • Coupons

You can either select 'All entities' for a comprehensive data transfer or pick specific items based on your needs.

Step 5: Configure Additional Options & Data Mapping

This stage allows for fine-tuning your migration with various advanced settings and ensuring data consistency.

Additional Migration Options

Review the list of additional options to customize your data transfer:

  • Preserve Product IDs, Orders IDs, Customers IDs: (Recommended) Retains your original identifiers, which can be crucial for record-keeping and existing integrations. Learn more: How Preserve IDs options can be used?
  • Migrate Images in Description: Ensures that product images embedded within descriptions are transferred correctly.
  • Password Migration: Allows customers to log into their accounts on the new Volusion store with their existing passwords.
  • SEO URLs / Create 301 SEO URLs: Essential for maintaining your search engine rankings and link equity. This option helps create redirects from your old Aabaco URLs to the new Volusion ones.
  • Clear Target Store Data: If your Volusion store contains any placeholder data, this option can wipe it clean before migration. Refer to: Clear current data on Target store before migration option.

Data Mapping Setup

Ensure that customer groups and order statuses from your Aabaco data are correctly mapped to their equivalents in Volusion. This prevents discrepancies and ensures a seamless user experience post-migration.

Step 6: Run Demo Migration & Full Migration

Before committing to the full data transfer, run a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to your Volusion store to verify the process and data integrity. Review the demo results thoroughly to ensure everything appears as expected.

Once satisfied with the demo, proceed with the full migration. You might consider adding a Migration Insurance Plan for added peace of mind, which offers remigrations within a specified period. Learn more about how it works: How Migration Insurance works? The system will then process the full data transfer to your Volusion store.

Post-Migration Steps

Completing the data transfer is a significant milestone, but the migration isn't truly finished until you've performed these crucial post-migration tasks:

  • Thorough Data Verification: Rigorously check all transferred data on your new Volusion store. Verify product details, images, prices, categories, customer accounts, and order histories. Pay close attention to any complex configurations like product variants.
  • Configure SEO and Redirects: While the migration tool can create 301 redirects, always double-check your Volusion SEO settings. Ensure meta titles, descriptions, and URL structures are optimized. Implement any additional 301 redirects for pages that may have changed URLs to preserve link equity and prevent 404 errors.
  • Test Store Functionality: Act as a customer and thoroughly test all aspects of your Volusion store. This includes:
    • Product search and filtering
    • Adding items to the cart and checkout process
    • Payment gateways
    • Shipping calculations
    • Customer account logins and functionalities
    • Contact forms and other interactive elements
  • Update DNS Settings: Once you're confident your new Volusion store is fully operational and tested, update your domain's DNS records to point to your new Volusion store. Plan this step carefully to minimize downtime for your live site.
  • Install Necessary Apps/Plugins: If your Aabaco store relied on specific functionalities, identify equivalent apps or plugins in the Volusion App Store to replicate them.
  • Notify Customers: Announce your new store to your customer base. This is an excellent opportunity to re-engage them and highlight any new features or improved user experience.
  • Monitor Performance: After launch, continuously monitor your Volusion store's performance using analytics tools. Look for any spikes in errors, slow loading times, or unexpected user behavior.
  • Consider Recent Data Migration: If new orders or customer registrations occurred on your Aabaco store after your main data transfer, consider using a Recent Data Migration Service to ensure these latest updates are also moved to Volusion.

By diligently following these steps, you'll ensure a comprehensive and successful replatforming from Aabaco to Volusion, positioning your e-commerce business for growth and enhanced performance.

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.
