OpenCart and PrestaShop to SmithShop Migration Guide

OpenCart and PrestaShop modules can add custom fields. Document those fields and decide whether each one belongs in SmithShop as a variant, option, product note, or internal process.

Export products, combinations, SKUs, manufacturers, images, downloads, customers, orders, coupons, tax rules, CMS pages, and SEO URLs.

Migration checklist

• Export products, categories, images, customers, orders, coupons, tax settings, shipping settings, SEO metadata, and current URLs before touching DNS.
• Clean the product CSV before importing. Keep SKUs, prices, stock, image URLs, weights, dimensions, categories, SEO titles, and descriptions in clear columns.
• Rebuild payment, shipping, tax, email, analytics, and fulfillment credentials inside SmithShop with fresh keys from each provider.
• Add redirects for old product, category, and CMS page URLs that already receive traffic or have search rankings.
• Place test orders for physical products, digital products, coupons, tax, shipping quotes, payment gateways, order email, and admin fulfillment before launch.

SmithShop setup path

• Import or recreate categories first, then products, variants, options, images, and downloadable files.

• Configure payment gateways, shipping providers, tax rules, email delivery, analytics, marketing tools, policies, and admin users.

• Test checkout from the storefront and confirm the order appears correctly in admin before the final domain switch.
