How to Migrate Data from a Multi-Store PrestaShop Site

If your source site has multiple stores, there are important things to consider before starting the data migration. Here’s a simple guide to help ensure a smooth migration:

Step 1: Create a corresponding shop on the target site

• Before you start the migration, make sure you’ve set up the necessary stores on the target site to match the stores on the source site.
• Each store on the source site should have a matching store on the target site for easy mapping.
• Decide where the data from each store on the source site will go in the target site.

Step 2: Shop Mapping Settings

• On the “Migration” screen, scroll down and click on the "Advanced settings" option to access and configure additional migration options according to your preferences.
• In the “Shop mapping” interface, you will see a list of stores from the source site.
• For each store on the source site, you can select where its data will be migrated into on the target site.
• Choose the appropriate store on the target site to map the data from each store on the source site.

Step 3: Review and confirm

• Double-check your mapping selections to ensure that each store's data from the source site is mapped to the correct store on the target site.
• Once you have mapped the data according to your preferences, proceed to initiate the migration process.

Step 4: Module compatibility

• Check the compatibility of any modules or customization with the multi-shop setup.
• Consider updating or replacing any modules that may not be compatible to avoid compatibility issues post-migration.

Step 5: Testing and validation

• Carefully test the multi-shop setup on the target site before migrating any data.
• Check the functionality, appearance, and performance of each shop to ensure everything works correctly.
• Fix any issues found during testing to avoid problems after migration.

By following this pre-migration checklist, you can effectively prepare your source site with a multi-store setup for seamless data migration to the target site. If you have any questions or require further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out for support.
