Source Store can operate normally during migration as it requires a very limited resource for the process.

For Target Store:Target Store should be placed in a stable hosting or in localhost.PHP Curl must be enabled.PHP Fopen (allow_url_fopen) must be On.It also must not block connection to Source Store.Webserver (mostly apache) should have full permission to write on /wp-content/uploads/

folder.

2. SetupAfter downloading the product zip file from our Store, please extract it into a folder. The module consists of two main parts: WooCommerce Data Migration Module (“leCartMigration” folder) and Source Cart Connector (“woocommerce_connector” folder)

2.1 WooCommerce Data Migration Module Setup

WooCommerce Data Migration Module is a WooCommerce Module which acts like a hub at WooCommerce side to receive data and import it into WooCommerce database. It can be installed just like all other WooCommerce Modules:

Using your FTP software, place the folder in your WooCommerce /modules folder.

Go to Back Office >> Modules.

Locate the new module in the list, scrolling down if necessary.

In the row for the new module, click Install.

You will get a message “Connector Installed” once it is installed properly.If you have any problem reaching the link please ensure you have htaccess configured correctly and the file has execution permissionFor security, please open connector.php, find this very first line:define('LECM_TOKEN', '123456');And change "123456" to another string, this will be used to enter to the Migration Form (Cart Token) and acts like "password" to prevent unauthorized data access to your source store.

3. Plugins SetupPlugins are purchased and setup separately into WooCommerce Data Migration Module. They will provide additional functionalities to the tool. Normally plugins need to be customized and tweaked by LitExtension Team to fit customers requirements and will be sent to customers later on. There are a few types of plugin:

6. Migration ResumingWhen a problem occurring on the migration process, Migration Tool provide the ability to resume the process in two ways:

1. Automatically resume on the spot: the tool will automatically resume after a failure until all data is imported.

7. Advanced ConfigurationAccess Advanced Configuration by going to Cart Migration > Settings. All default values are configured to work with most cases, thus it is recommended to change these values only when it is necessary to.

XXX Per Batch: Cart Migration splits each entity data into small batches (or chunks) and import them in turn. This option defines batch size to process in each turn. Depending on your WooCommerce hosting resource you can change the values accordingly. The lower the value is, the less time and resource WooCommerce spends to process a batch, also the longer overall time to import full data.

Delay Time: the sleeping time between each batch. This option defines the “break time” for both Source Store and Target Store. It is also helpful to prevent Timeout issue if Source Store has been setup to limit the number of requests in a period of time.

Auto Retry After: if by some reason, the batch process fails, the tool will automatically retry after a period of time defined by this option.

Source Cart Database Prefix: Fill this in only in case your Source Cart does not support Table Prefix by default but has been customized to have Custom Table Prefix

License Key: license key associated with your product.
