there are plenty of modules to import data, and there are also vendors that offer services.  should we guess what the existing ecommerce platform is?

Hi,

 

I knew the only thing in project is it developed in .NET as programing language.

 

Can you please suggest some good modules.

 

Thanks.

how can anyone suggest a module without knowing what platform you are coming from.  have you tried searching, or are you looking for someone to do that for you?

Hi Bellini,

 

As i mentioned above old site is developed on core .NET. What do you mean of platform ?

[bellini13]

OpenCart, OSCommerce, Prestashop are eCommerce platforms.  They have well defined/known database schemas, and you can predict what tables/columns will exist, and how to map data from one to another.  You can purchase modules or services that will do this for you.

 

It sounds like you have a home grown 'platform', so one one can predict what your database structure is, and therefore there are likely no modules or services that will migrate your data from the existing platform to Prestashop.

 

So you will need to do this yourself, or search for how to migrate your data to Prestashop.  There are some other advanced modules, where you can define what your data model looks like and then attempt to map your data model to the Prestashop data model.  I've never used it, so I can't say how well it works.

 

I would suggest you do some more home work

Thanks bellini,

 

There is no any e-commerce platform used in old site. It developed in core .NET. So, It has custome database.

So, my question is anybody have idea how to migrate custome database to prestashop database.

 

Or any other easy method like CSV import from backend.

 

Thanks,
