Recommended Posts

My shops been on 2.1 for a little over 2 years now. Now we've got a major rework underway to move to 2.2 (can't wait for many functions on it! enjoying some in test mode already!).

 

My IT/backend support is moving slowly (if moving at all) through:

 

-customer list migration

-previous order history-any chance at keeping this in new shop? nice to keep bestsellers but not critical

 

Primarily any tips on the customer list migration? I've searched this site and not found any tips, if they're here I apologize and please just point me to them.

 

Thanks in advance!

We moved from a completely different piece of software (Miva Merchant) which had a completely different database layout

 

The easiest way I found was to access the SQL databases directly. I inported the old customer information into Excel and then just cut and pasted the data columns into the same order that OSC uses - then imported them into the OSC database - used a piece of software called SQLyog - but you do need direct acces to the SQL server (we host our site in-house so I have complete access to it).
