Will I lose my Google rankings because of the migration?

Before the migration we record every existing URL and plan 301 redirects from the old URLs to the new ones. Visitors and Google find each page at its new address, and the value of the old pages passes to the new ones.

Do you also migrate e-shops from PrestaShop or other platforms?

Yes. Besides WooCommerce, MonoWare Web migrates stores to OpenCart from PrestaShop or other e-commerce platforms. The process is the same: recording data and URLs, setting up the new store, running a test migration in a staging environment and putting 301 redirects in place before the switch.

Can the new OpenCart store be connected to my ERP?

Yes. MonoWare Web has connected e-shops to SoftOne, Epsilon Net and Atlantis ERP via XML or API. The integration can be designed together with the migration, so the new OpenCart store goes live with automatic synchronization of products, prices, stock and orders from day one.

How long does the migration take?

It depends on the number of products, the volume of orders and customers, and the features the new store needs, such as ERP or courier integrations. After the initial audit MonoWare Web gives you a specific timeline, which includes the test migration in staging before the switch.

E-shop Migration from WooCommerce to OpenCart.

MonoWare Web migrates e-shops from WooCommerce, PrestaShop or other platforms to OpenCart. A migration can include products, categories, customers, orders, images, coupons and SEO URLs. Before we start, we record every existing URL and plan the redirects, so the store keeps its visibility on Google.

How the migration works.

01
Inventory & audit

We record the data of your current store, the features and plugins you use, and every URL that Google already knows.
02
Setting up the new OpenCart store

We set up OpenCart with a custom theme or an adaptation of your current design, and integrate payment, shipping, ERP and any other modules the store needs.
03
Data migration & checks

We first run a test migration in a staging environment and check that products, categories, customers, orders, images and coupons match the old store, before the final migration.
04
Redirects & go-live

We activate 301 redirects from the old URLs to the new ones, switch over, and monitor the store and its indexing after the change.

What you gain :

SEO protectionRedirects are planned before the migration, not after, so the pages that already bring visitors are not lost.
OpenCart specialistsCustom themes, custom modules, speed and security optimization for OpenCart stores.
ERP integrationWe have connected e-shops to SoftOne, Epsilon Net and Atlantis, so your new store can sync with your ERP.
Support after the migrationWe continue with technical support, upgrades and new features for your store.

In detail

Why move your e-shop to OpenCart

WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin: the store depends on WordPress, the theme and usually many additional plugins, which need constant updates and often slow the site down. OpenCart is a platform built specifically for e-commerce, with product, order and customer management built in from the start.

At MonoWare Web we specialize in OpenCart: we build custom themes and modules, connect stores to ERP systems and provide e-commerce technical support. After the migration, your store keeps evolving with the same team.

What we migrate

Depending on the store, a migration can include:

Products and their details (descriptions, prices, attributes)
Categories and the catalog structure
Customers and their accounts
Order history
Product and category images
Discount coupons
SEO URLs and 301 redirects from the old addresses to the new ones

E-shops we have built.
