So, to perform the migration from Big Cartel to WooCommerce, follow these few simple steps:
Prepare WooCommerce Store
Establish a WooCommerce store
First of all, register a WooCommerce account. Alternatively, if you're still hesitant, whether WooCommerce will suit your needs, use our free Migration Preview Service. This option allows business owners to perform Demo migration of a limited number of entities from their current store to Cart2Cart's test store (please note that it will be live for 3 days). All you have to do is check the result of data transfer and then proceed with the Full Migration.
Configure the newly-established store
Make sure to install all the necessary plugins that will ease the process of replatforming:
- If you want to import all the customers' passwords, download free Cart2Cart WooCommerce Passwords Migration Plugin and choose the additional option "Migrate customers' passwords" in the Migration Wizard. In case you have any questions, please, follow this guide.
- Set up WordPress Multilingual Plugin to migrate multiple languages to your future WooCommerce store. Check the step-by-step instructions on how to install the extension.
- To preserve your SEO positions, we suggest you choose the additional options "Create the 301 redirects on your target store after migration" and "Migrate categories and products SEO URLs." Also, it is necessary to install Woo's Redirection plugin and a free WordPress SEO Plugin.
- To migrate information on manufacturers and images, you can download the following extensions - WordPress.org (free) or WooThemes.com (paid).
- Product Add-Ons plugin will help you transfer the existing product variants to your WooCommerce store.
- If you want to save order IDs, select the "Preserve order IDs on the Target Store" option and download the free WooCommerce Sequential Order Number module.
- To transfer custom order statuses, you have to use free YITH WooCommerce Custom Order Status plugin.
Set up Big Cartel and WooCommerce carts
Setup your Source store
Choose Big Cartel from the drop-down menu. Next, you'll have to provide the store's URL.
Configure Target cart
