Changing your data from one website or store to another is something that seems like a lot of work. However, if you pay attention to the data and other specifics when changing, you shouldn’t have any issues switching from one platform to another.

Getting the most out of the shop that you have is usually the goal. Switching can make things easier. Pay attention to the eCommerce data during the switch. You don’t want any issues while making the move.

Organization of the Data Transferred Over

How the information and data that is transferred is organized. If it can be uploaded to the system is important to know. Once updated, into the store, and in place, is it all going to naturally work with the eCommerce platform?

Organization is one of the biggest considerations to make, as this can take a lot of time. Usually, on a platform such as Shopify, the data that is uploaded should be uploaded in order and then organized. The order is:

  • Products
  • Customers
  • Historical orders

This is all done through the system that is provided on the platform. The system would take the file and then upload where necessary. This means less work on your part. The system places the items for sale where they need to go for you. Think of it like a robot that stocks the shelves for you.

Manual uploads are also available with some eCommerce platforms, which makes things easier. If you feel that you’d like to choose where the data goes, this is always an option. No robot is needed in this case.

Do They Offer an App for On-the-Go?

Having an app for the backend user can provide those busy with a way to make changes while on the go. Since technology is always changing and expanding, this shouldn’t be something that is hard to provide. The app should work with all devices.

Most eCommerce platforms can be accessed whether you are the owner of the store or the customer visiting the store through a mobile device.

Do They Allow for Shipping, Taxes, and Other Specifics?

How specific the website is able to get is important? The system should calculate everything for you. They should have a section for taxes, as well as shipping.

The system is important when selling items, as it has to accurately add up the shipping, totals for the items being purchased, and more. This can ensure that the prices given are accurate and that customers come back to shop with the store, as it is trustworthy, again.

What People are Saying

Before choosing which platform, you’re going to be using, it is very important to read up on the reviews. These reviews are going to make a difference in whether or not you choose to use them for your eCommerce needs.

Reviews that are found on outside sources, not the specific website, are better to read. These are generally non-biased reviews.

What is Available to Make Your eCommerce Site Look How You Want

The available themes are also a consideration to make. You want them to look a specific way when adding information to the page. When this is something that you base a lot of your decision on when choosing a platform, make sure to do your research.

Look through both the free and premium themes available. Choose the eCommerce platform that you like the themes of. The theme will be available to use once you sign up with the platform. This makes choosing a platform easier. You can choose a theme, then go with the platform it is on.

Does Your Information, Data, Domain and Other Information Work?

This is commonly forgotten when switching. Knowing if the data is transferrable between platforms is important. Sometimes the information is not compatible between the two.

The data may not be able to be uploaded into the server. This would require you to choose another platform. It could also mean starting over from scratch. No one wants to do this. Ensure that all of your data can be switched from one eCommerce platform to the new.

Speaking with a customer service agent from the new platform is ideal. They are better able to give you information regarding data transfers.

It is important to use an eCommerce platform that provides the necessary information that you want and need.

Conclusion

Find out how switching from one eCommerce platform to the next can be beneficial. Whether you’re using one that doesn’t provide good service, or you want one with more options; a switch can help. Find out which platforms are best for your specific eCommerce needs. Migrating the eCommerce platform shouldn’t be hard and with the right information being read, it can be done with ease. Your shop will be back up and running in no time.
