How to upgrade your website
Manual migration
A Manual upgrade with the Magento Migration Tool is complex. If you don’t have web development skills, it’s challenging to back up your database and repair corrupted databases.
Automated migration
The simplest and quickest way to migrate from Magento to Magento is through automated migration. The Cart2Cart solution is a trustworthy migration tool that safeguards your data and guarantees complete accuracy throughout the migration process.
How to transfer your website
The primary difference between Magento and Magento is; Magento 2 is faster, with more reliable extensions. Follow these steps to transfer:
Set up your new store
Upgrading from Magento 1 to Magento 2 begins with creating a target store. Go to the admin sidebar, select Stores > Settings > All Stores. Click Create Store and choose the options for your new store. Enter your store’s name and click Save Store.
Backup your data
Before you migrate, create a backup of your store. This secures your data from any destruction or loss that may occur during your transfer.
Export your store data
Before performing your migration, remove any outdated data from your database, including recently viewed products, logs, or compared products.
Upgrade themes
You cannot directly transfer to Magento—especially themes. To provide the best user experience and help your site perform better, change and customize your theme. You can buy and install a theme from the Magento Marketplace.
Migrate Extensions
Check whether your current extensions are compatible with the new platform. Select an extension on the marketplace and install it. Cart2Cart can help you transfer corresponding extension data using the custom code.
