zen-cart to prestashop migration

[phparray]

I couldn't figure out how to use the oscommerce importer to migrate a site from zen-cart to prestashop as other have suggested. So I've started just creating csv files from the zen-cart db and using them to import into the new prestashop site.  

 

The issue I'm having now is with customer passwords.  Password encryption is a bit different between the two applications. Does anyone know how to import the passwords in a way that would allow customers to use the same password without having to change it. 

 

I'd also like to keep order history if possible but I didn't see a method provided for this.  Anyone have experience doing this moving directly from the zen-cart db to the prestashop db directly?

It seems like you would need to convert the passwords to the new encryption method. This would mean decrypting to plain text then recrypting with the new method. If you can define how to do this in PHP I can do this for you for all your customers very cheaply.

Hello phparray,

 

regarding the direct migration from Zen Cart to PrestaShop with saving the order history. You can check Cart2Cart for simple and automated transfer. However, please note, Cart2Cart won't be able to switch your passwords from an old cart to a new one.

 

In case if you have any further questions feel free to contact our Suppor Team.
