Migrate from Mystore.no to PrestaShop: A Comprehensive Step-by-Step Guide
Seamlessly Transition Your E-commerce Store from Mystore.no to PrestaShop
As your e-commerce business grows and evolves, the need for a more robust, flexible, and feature-rich platform often arises. Migrating from Mystore.no to PrestaShop can be a strategic move to unlock greater control, customization options, and scalability for your online store. PrestaShop, as an open-source solution, offers extensive possibilities for merchants seeking to enhance their store's functionality and user experience.
This expert guide will walk you through the entire process of transitioning your valuable store data from Mystore.no to PrestaShop. Since Mystore.no does not offer direct API integration with most third-party migration tools, we will leverage a highly efficient method involving CSV file export from Mystore.no and subsequent import into your new PrestaShop store. We’ll cover everything from preparation to post-migration fine-tuning, ensuring a smooth and successful replatforming journey.
Prerequisites for a Successful Migration
Before initiating the data transfer, careful preparation of both your source Mystore.no store and your target PrestaShop environment is essential for a seamless transition. Adhering to these prerequisites will help maintain data integrity and minimize downtime.
- Mystore.no Data Export: Ensure you have administrative access to your Mystore.no store to export all necessary data (products, categories, customers, orders, reviews, etc.) into CSV files. Familiarize yourself with Mystore.no's export functionalities.
- PrestaShop Installation: Have a fresh installation of PrestaShop (version 0.9.0 to 1.6.1.0 is supported) ready on your hosting server. Ideally, this should be an empty store to avoid data conflicts during the import process. If your PrestaShop store already contains data, you have the option to clear existing data before migration.
- FTP/SFTP Access to PrestaShop: You will need FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or SFTP access to your PrestaShop store's root directory. This is crucial for uploading the Connection Bridge, which facilitates secure communication between your migration tool and PrestaShop. Understand what a root folder is and how to access it.
- PrestaShop Admin Credentials: Keep your PrestaShop administrator login URL, username, and password readily available. This access is needed to install the Cart2Cart Universal PrestaShop Migration module, which is required for the migration.
- Data Backup: Always perform a full backup of both your Mystore.no and PrestaShop stores before starting any migration process. This provides a safety net in case of unforeseen issues. For detailed guidance, consult our FAQs on preparing your source store and preparing your target store.
- Review Credentials Security: If using a migration service, understand that providing access details is generally safe, as explained in Is it safe to provide your company with my access details?.
Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide
Migrating your store's data involves a structured process, typically guided by an automated migration wizard. Here’s how to transfer your e-commerce assets from Mystore.no to PrestaShop:
Step 1: Start Your Migration
Begin by navigating to the migration service's website. You'll usually find an option to start a new migration, often referred to as a 'Do-it-yourself Migration' or 'Start Migration Wizard'.
Step 2: Connect Your Source Store (Mystore.no via CSV)
Since Mystore.no does not support direct API integration for automated data extraction, you will first need to export your store's data into CSV files from your Mystore.no admin panel. Once your data is exported:
- From the list of supported shopping carts, select “CSV File to Cart” as your Source Cart.
- Upload your prepared CSV files containing your products, categories, customers, orders, and other relevant data. Ensure your CSV files are correctly formatted according to the migration tool's specifications.
Step 3: Connect Your Target PrestaShop Store
Now, configure your new PrestaShop store as the destination for your data.
- Select “PrestaShop” from the dropdown list of Target Carts.
- Enter the Admin URL of your PrestaShop store.
- The system will prompt you for a connection method. PrestaShop requires a Connection Bridge for secure data transfer. Download the bridge file provided by the migration service.
- Extract the 'bridge2cart' folder from the downloaded zip file.
- Using your FTP/SFTP client, upload this 'bridge2cart' folder to the root directory of your PrestaShop store. The root directory is typically where your `index.php` or `config.php` files are located.
- Confirm the bridge upload in the migration wizard. The system will validate the connection. Remember, the access credentials are crucial here for secure connectivity.
Step 4: Select Data Entities for Migration
This critical step allows you to specify exactly what data you wish to transfer from your Mystore.no CSV files to PrestaShop. You can migrate a wide array of entities, ensuring comprehensive data integrity.
You have the option to select 'All entities' for a complete data transfer or manually choose specific items such as:
- Products (including SKUs, variants, images, descriptions)
- Product Categories
- Product Manufacturers
- Product Reviews
- Customers (including customer groups)
- Orders (including order statuses and invoices)
- Taxes
- Stores
- Coupons
- CMS Pages
- Blogs and Blog Posts
Step 5: Configure Additional Options and Data Mapping
Additional Migration Options
This stage allows for crucial customizations that can significantly impact the outcome of your migration. Consider the following recommended options:
- Migrate Images in Description: Ensures product and category images embedded within descriptions are transferred. (Supported for CsvToCart source)
- Clear Target: If your PrestaShop store is not new, you might choose to clear all existing data in PrestaShop before the migration begins.
- Preserve Product IDs, Preserve Orders IDs, Preserve Customers IDs: Retains the original IDs from your Mystore.no store, which is highly recommended for maintaining database consistency and historical data. Learn more about preserving IDs.
- SEO URLs and 301 SEO URLs: Important for maintaining your SEO rankings and link equity. This option automatically creates redirects from your old Mystore.no URLs to your new PrestaShop URLs.
- Password Migration: Allows customer passwords to be transferred, enabling existing customers to log in to the new PrestaShop store with their current credentials.
- Create Variants from Attributes: If your Mystore.no products use attributes to define variations, this option ensures they are correctly mapped to PrestaShop's variant system.
Data Mapping Setup
You will also need to map specific data fields, such as customer groups and order statuses, from your Mystore.no data to their corresponding fields in PrestaShop. This ensures that all customer roles and order progressions are correctly assigned in your new store.
Step 6: Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to the full migration, run a free demo. This allows you to migrate a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your PrestaShop store. The demo serves as a crucial test run, allowing you to:
- Verify the accuracy of the data transfer.
- Check the mapping of categories, products, and other entities.
- Identify and resolve any potential issues before the full transfer.
Step 7: Perform the Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed with the full migration. At this stage, you will review the total cost of the migration and can opt for a Migration Insurance Plan. An insurance plan offers the flexibility to perform remigrations, which can be invaluable if you discover any data inconsistencies or wish to update your store with recent changes from Mystore.no. Learn more about how migration insurance works.
Post-Migration Steps
The migration doesn't end when the data transfer is complete. A few crucial steps are required to ensure your new PrestaShop store is fully operational and optimized.
- Thorough Data Verification: Systematically check all migrated data. Verify products, categories, customer accounts, order histories, images, prices, and reviews. Ensure all links are functional and images display correctly.
- PrestaShop Configuration:
- Install a Theme: Choose and install a suitable theme for your PrestaShop store to align with your brand identity and provide a great user experience.
- Payment & Shipping Gateways: Reconfigure and test all your preferred payment methods and shipping carriers in PrestaShop.
- Essential Modules: Install any necessary modules or plugins for advanced functionalities like SEO, marketing, security, and analytics.
- SEO Optimization: Even with 301 redirects, it's vital to:
- Update your sitemap and submit it to search engines.
- Verify Google Analytics and Google Search Console are tracking your new site correctly.
- Monitor your SEO rankings and address any broken links.
- Test Functionality: Perform extensive testing of all store functionalities, including:
- User registration and login.
- Product search and filtering.
- Adding products to cart and checkout process.
- Order placement and confirmation.
- Customer account management.
- Update DNS and Go Live: Once confident in your new PrestaShop store, update your domain's DNS records to point to the new site. Monitor your store closely after going live.
- Consider Recent Data Migration: If new orders or customer data appeared on Mystore.no during or shortly after the migration, consider using a Recent Data Migration Service to transfer this new information, ensuring nothing is missed.
By following these detailed steps, you can confidently transition your e-commerce business from Mystore.no to PrestaShop, leveraging the power and flexibility of your new platform. If you encounter any challenges or prefer expert assistance, don't hesitate to contact us for 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

Cart2Cart helped me with several PrestaShop migrations. They always give good support, ready to listen and help if needed. I migrated several stores with 15000 products, with no problem.
This is the best migration tool I know.

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

Review source
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
