A time comes when the need of change arises in every business. Either you have an online store or any other business online or offline, upgradation is required at some time. As we are talking about the online store, upgrading ecommerce platform is essential to adapt the latest technology. But when we make changes to our store, the main aspect of a store that is, the data needs to be taken care of.
When we migrate shopping cart, we need to comprehend on different factors that are mentioned down there.
- Redirection of the site
While changing ecommerce platform, one should take care of the loyal customers. It is not sure that a customer is going to open the mail regarding the changing ecommerce platform. In that case, do not rely on the mail or other messaging services rather use url redirection. This way, not only the customers, but the other services like SEO are not going to be a waste. - Manual checking of order
When you migrate shopping cart whole website is changed. The data related to the Estore is also changed. For example the details related to the order are always stored in the database in a sequential order under some headings. When the store is migrated, you do not know if the order of the latest upgraded version is the same or different. For this, manual processing is required to transfer the data without any glitches. - Migration of data
We all know very well that while upgrading ecommerce platform, changes are going to happen. In an ecommerce store, there is product description, orders data and very important customer’s data. They are managed by different apps in a different manner. So, to migrate the data automation alone cannot do wonders. What technique is required for what process, should be known. For example, the heading can be rectified with the manual process while the customers’ data can be transferred using the automated process. - Change of ecommerce store template
Either we change our Estore to expand the business or we change it because we do not like the design, data migration problem occurs. As we have discussed the rest of the data migration solutions, we are going to concentrate on the template part under this block. While migrating the website, make sure the flow remains the same. We have a misconception that only copy paste work is required for this. But there is a lot more like creating different pages and organizing the menus.
Migrating the store can be a bane, if the data is lost due to any reasons. One of the aspects for the success of the stores is the data. So, try to migrate the data with integrity and discretion.
