2. Setting up LitExtension
The first step in migrating from WooCommerce to Shopify is to set up your LitExtension account. Follow these steps to get started:
Step 1: Create New Migration
After logging into your LitExtension account, click on "Create New Migration" to begin the migration process.
Step 2: Set up Source Store
Select "WooCommerce" as the Source Cart type. This will ensure that LitExtension knows where to extract your store's data.
Step 3: Upload LitExtension Connector to Source Store
Download the LitExtension connector and follow the instructions provided. Extract the zip file and upload the "le_connector" file to the root folder of your WooCommerce store using an FTP client like FileZilla.
Step 4: Configure Target Cart
Choose "Shopify" as the Target Cart type. Provide your Shopify store URL and API password. If you're unsure how to generate the API password, follow the video tutorial or the instructions on the right side of the screen.
3. Configuring Source Store (WooCommerce)
Once you have set up LitExtension and connected your Source and Target Stores, it's time to configure your Source Store (WooCommerce):
Step 5: Provide Source Store URL
Enter the URL of your WooCommerce store into the designated bar. This will allow LitExtension to establish a connection with your source store.
Step 6: Test Connection
Click on "Test Connection" to ensure that LitExtension can communicate with your WooCommerce store. If the connection is successful, you will see a notification stating that the connection has been established.
4. Configuring Target Cart (Shopify)
Now that the Source Store is set up, let's move on to configuring your Target Cart (Shopify):
Step 7: Provide Target Store URL
Log into your Shopify admin panel and navigate to the Apps menu. Click on "Manage private apps" located at the bottom of the page. Enter a name for your private app, provide a contact email, and click on "Save app".
Step 8: Generate API Password
To generate the API password, click on "Review disabled admin API permissions" and change all permissions to "read" and "write". Save your settings and copy the API password. Paste the API password into the designated bar on the LitExtension website.
Step 9: Test Connection
Click on "Next" to proceed to the next stage of the migration process. LitExtension will test the connection with your Shopify store to ensure everything is working smoothly.
5. Selecting Entities for Migration
