rka81 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I have a shop that is currently run using the Zen Cart software (which I really dont like!) and want to migrate to Prestashop, now having used Prestashop for another site, I am aware of the import/export function etc. But I would really like to hear from any fourm members who have successfully migrated and to see how they managed it.At present I have been looking at mainly exporting (myphpadmin) various tables, manipulating the data to fit the Prestashop import rules......but its a bit time consuming and tricky!Any assistance, experiences shared would be a great help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhnstcks Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Havent seen any Zencart migration tools but theres a few oscommerce modules around. I think theres 2 forum members who both sell the oscommerce module, so you should speak to them about a Zencart module. They are Rocky and Tomerg3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theme_designer Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 It's not good idea to migrate one shopping cart to another because it will harm your google rankings. I suggest you just make a new store with prestashop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you just make a new store with prestashop. The may be true if both shops stay online.Some specific categories and products will lose some ranking, but installing a new shop from scratch will not help in any way, it would just take much much much longer to populate...

tomerg3 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 A bit behind schedule, but it will be worth the wait.I'll post an update when the first beta is ready, in case anyone wants to help with testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
