  2. 3 VirtueMart to WooCommerce migration VirtueMart is an open-source eCommerce solution for the content management system (CMS), Joomla! It is free to download, but you need a Joomla account. VirtueMart is a plugin for Joomla, and WooCommerce is a plugin for WordPress VirtueMart tends to fall short in terms of high-quality third-party extensions and up-to-date themes. But the biggest drawback is its SEO limitations. On the other hand, WooCommerce is a more comprehensive eCommerce solution that offers a lot of flexibility and customization options. Being an extremely popular eCommerce platform, WooCommerce has a large user community that offers great support to WooCommerce users, which creates an attractive safety net for store owners. With Cart2Cart, it’s a quick and hassle-free process to migrate VirtueMart to WooCommerce. Cart2Cart automates the process while safeguarding your order IDs and SEO during the migration.

  3. 4 Pre-Migration Tips Prepare your VirtueMart store Get your VirtueMart store ready for the move by auditing all your VirtueMart store data. Audit all your current VirtueMart records, remove all the outdated data and decide what data to move to the new store. Cart2Cart doesn't delete any data during the migration process. Still, it is better to back up your store at this point. Prepare your WooCommerce store Get your WooCommerce store ready. To do this, install the WooCommerce plugin for your WordPress website. If you don’t have a WordPress website, install one first.

  4. 5 VirtueMart to WooCommerce Migration Setup VirtueMart to WooCommerce data transfer by first configuring the Source cart and then specifying the Target cart. Set up the Source cart Choose VirtueMart as your Source Cart from the drop-down menu in the Migration Wizard. Copy the Store's URL to the corresponding field and install the Connection Bridge (download it, unpack files to the store's root folder). Wait for a notification that the Connection Bridge has been successfully installed, before proceeding to the next step. Specify the Target cart Select WooCommerce as your Target Cart from the drop-down list. Provide all the necessary credentials (WordPress Admin URL, login, and password) and click the "Choose entities" button. Select data for migration You can choose to transfer all data entities from VirtueMart to WooCommerce by ticking the "Select all" option, or you may select to relocate only some of the data, such as products (including product categories, reviews, manufacturers, taxes, orders, and coupons. Specify migration extras Consider some optional extras that might ease your migration process, such as creating 301 redirects on your target store after migration, preserving order IDs on the Target Store, migrating customers' passwords with the help of Cart2Cart WooCommerce Passwords Migration Plugin, and others. Map customer groups & order statuses Match your VirtueMart order statuses and fulfillment statuses to the corresponding ones on WooCommerce.
