How to Migrate from Magento to Volusion [Video]
Nowadays Magento is one of the leaders in the e-Commerce world. Main reasons that led Magento to such a success are flexibility, wide range of features, numerous payment and shipment options. However, it is rather difficult to manage Magento store without high or medium programming skills, as it is an open source. Moreover, during the upgrade process or mass import users can face technical errors. Thats why a lot of merchants decide to move their stores to a hosted platform, which is easier in administration.
One of the bright representatives of hosted shopping carts
is Volusion. Main advantages of this e-Commerce solution are high
level of security, official support, advanced marketing and SEO tools. These are main reasons why
store owners decide to migrate from Magento to Volusion. The easiest way of data transferring is
Cart2Cart. It is fully automated, so technical skills aren’t required. Video tutorial and step by step
instruction will help you understand how everything works and perform successful migration.
#1. Rgister an Account
Sign in via your Facebook or Google account or create a Cart2Cart account.
#2. Choose Source Cart
On this step, you have to select Magento from a drop-down menu. Then enter your current shop’s
URL. After that, you have to perform Connection Bridge installation. To do that you have to
download bridge, unpack it and paste to the root directory. For better convenience, watch our video
tutorial on how to set up Connection Bridge.
#3. Choose Target Cart
Choose Volusion as your Target Cart from the drop-down menu. After that, you have to enter store’s
URL.
#4. Entities Selection
At this point, you are able to pick entities that have to be transferred to Volusion store. It is possible
to select additional option to clear current data on Target Store before migration.
#5. Multi-store Configuration
Since Magento supports multi-store migration, you are able to map multiple stores with a Target
Volusion store. More detailed information you can read here.
#6. Currencies Mapping
In a case, you use more than one currency on Magento store, Cart2Cart provides a possibility to
transfer them, as well.
#7. Demo Migration
For your safety and convenience it is recommended not to skip this step. Moreover, it is absolutely
free. It will take you a few minutes and you will be able to track the process.
After Demo Migration is successfully finished, you have to import data to Volusion store. Firstly, you
have to download Categories, Customers, Option Categories, Options and Products to your
computer.
After that, enter store admin panel Inventory-> Import/Export.
Then in “Import to” drop-down menu choose data that you want to import. For example, firstly we will
import Products. After that upload the saved file in "File Name" field. Put a tick near one of three
options in “Overwrite Existing Data?” field that best suits your needs. Press Import button.
According to the same principle you have to repeat the procedure with Categories, Customers,
Option Categories and Options.
#8. Full Migration
Now you can start Full Migration. Check if you have enough funds on your account. It also possible
to check entities that are going to be moved one more time. Now press Start Full Migration button.
Right after the process of migration will be performed, you will receive an email. After that, you need
to follow the same data Import instructions as you did after Demo Migration. Download files and then
upload them from Volusion back end. So, thats it! Now you can check migration results.
