4. Configure Mapping and Additional Options
This crucial step allows you to map your source CSV fields to your target CSV structure. You can also select additional options to enhance your migration, such as preserving SEO URLs, migrating images from descriptions, or creating product variants based on options.
Customer Groups Mapping:
Align your existing customer groups from your source data to the corresponding groups in your target store. This ensures proper segmentation and role assignment for all customer accounts.
Additional Options:
Choose from a range of powerful features to customize your migration, maintaining your store's integrity and customer experience.

5. Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, run a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities to a test CSV file, giving you a preview of the results and ensuring everything migrates correctly.

After the demo, you'll be redirected to the Demo Results Review page. Here, you can check the migrated entities, verify data accuracy, and download the demo results as files for offline inspection. If satisfied, proceed to the full migration.
