The most popular migration add-ons among store owners migrating from OpenCart to WooCommerce include:

1 Clear current data on the WooCommerce store before migration

Upon activation, the option deletes the data on your new WooCommerce store in compliance with the OpenCart entities selected for the automated migration. For example: if you’re migrating “Products” and “Taxes” entities, this function will delete such entities on your new WooCommerce 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 WooCommerce store

This function provides the ability to migrate order IDs to the new WooCommerce store without making changes. For instance, order #13 in your OpenCart store will be moved to WooCommerce as order #13.

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

301 Redirects
