Cart2Cart offers a list of additional options that allow you to expand the migration possibilities. They make the process of Magento (Adobe Commerce) to Shopify data transfer flawless and the results accurate.

Before ordering the additional options, you should note that

Additional options are not obligatory and can be performed only upon your request

Additional options are not included in the migration cost and are also charged.

The most popular migration add-ons among store owners migrating from Magento (Adobe Commerce) to Shopify include:

1 Clear current data on the Shopify store before migration

Upon activation, the option deletes the data on your new Shopify store in compliance with the Magento (Adobe Commerce) entities selected for the automated migration. For example: if you’re migrating “Products” and “Taxes” entities from the Magento (Adobe Commerce) store, this function will delete such entities on the Shopify store before starting the transfer.

The option is irreversible. It is recommended to back up your eCommerce data manually before enabling this action for your store. Simply export data to CSV files and save them on your PC.

2 Preserve order IDs on the Shopify store

This provides the ability to migrate order IDs to the Shopify store without making changes. For instance, order #13 in your Magento (Adobe Commerce) store will be moved to the new Shopify store as order #13.

This requires another option - Clear current data on the Shopify store before migration. It helps to ensure accuracy and avoid duplication in case your Shopify store is not clean and already has some items on it.

3 Create on the Shopify store after migration 301 redirects

This additional option automatically creates 301 redirects from your Magento (Adobe Commerce) store’s URLs to the corresponding ones in your new Shopify store during the migration. As a result, you can maintain your SEO ranking and customer experience after the migration to Shopify is over.

4 Migrate categories and products SEO URLs

If activated, the function preserves the store products and categories URLs while migrating from your Magento (Adobe Commerce) store to the new Shopify platform. Moreover, it facilitates the post migration store management process and saves product search engine rankings.

5 Migrate categories into Shopify automated collections

This guarantees that the product categories from your Magento (Adobe Commerce) store will be transferred to automated collections on the new Shopify store; the products will receive tags, and will be arranged to the corresponding collections on Shopify with all the relations between subcategories of the current Magento (Adobe Commerce) store preserved.

6 Migrate customer groups into customer tags

The function makes it possible to migrate the customer groups from your Magento (Adobe Commerce) store into customer tags of the Shopify store.

7 Migrate short & full descriptions

This transfers both short and full descriptions into the same description field on the new Shopify store.

8 Migrate images from product descriptions, category descriptions, and blog post descriptions

It allows migrating images contained in product descriptions and category descriptions from your Magento (Adobe Commerce) store to the Shopify platform alongside other data.

Mapping step

Connect the data fields from your current Magento (Adobe Commerce) store to the respective data fields in the new Shopify store. Doing this minimises the potential for errors and standardises your data, making it easier to understand it by correlating it with identities - for instance. When migrating from Magento (Adobe Commerce) to Shopify, you can map the following:

Order statuses

If the Orders entity is selected.

Customer groups

If the Customers entity is selected.

Stores

If there is a Multistore entity in your Source or Target stores.
