Product questions
To migrate the database from Magento 1 to Magento 2, you need to run primary database migration using the Data Migration Tool to bulk copy and transfer store settings and data. Afterward, delta migration is required to move incremental changes in the database made since the previous step.
Migrating Magento to another server is a risky task associated with downtimes and data loss.
To mitigate risks, create a backup of your store and prepare your destination server by installing software required by Magento for its operations. Once completed, migrate your store data over to the new server and finish store configurations.
Yes, the difference is big, since Magento 1 and Magento 2 are different to a great extent.
Unlike its predecessor, Magento 2 has a modular architecture that allows developers to customize an eCommerce store as they wish.
Because of the difference, migration to Magento 2 is not a switch of a version but a complicated task that requires creating extensions and a theme for a new store from scratch.
Data Migration Tool is designed by Magento to transfer data from Magento 1 to Magento 2 automatically.
It’s freely available for installation but requires some prerequisites to move data correctly. If you’re tech-savvy enough, you can use the tool relying on Magento’s step-by-step guide; if not, address specialists for help.
Ecommerce store owners should migrate to Magento 2 for a number of reasons:
- Higher performance
- Improved admin panel
- Mobile-friendly interface
- Streamlined checkout, and
- Marketing automation features
By running Magento 1 after its end of life, they risk facing security issues and a lack of vendor support.
Magento 2 is considered to be a user-friendly platform thanks to its easy-to-use admin interface.
Users without a technical background find it simple to manage an online store with drag-and-drop functionality for layout editing. Admins can also customize the admin panel to simplify order management and access the required information quickly.
Migrating a database from Shopify to Magento can be done in one of the following ways:
- Using a third-party extension for data export/import
- Via API, or
- Manually
Which method to choose depends on your store’s current setup and should be determined by your migration team.
To merge database tables and data in Magento 2, you can use Magento’s default import/export function. However, it allows you to export only products and customers, but not orders. To export sales orders, use third-party or custom-developed extensions.
To secure Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration, you should address a reliable and experienced Magento agency that will take care of all security aspects. Before running Magento migration, they will back up your store to ensure that data remains available in all cases.
Sometimes, during database migration from Magento 1.9.3.1 to 2.3.3, users see the message “Integrity check failed due to ‘core_config_data’ document does not exist in the destination resource”. To fix this error,
use the following prefix settings:
If you get the “cannot connect to database” error during Magento migration, enable remote connection to your Magento 1 server. You can address your hosting provider to help you with this.
