Lets Import Xcart into Magento!
I am a complete novice when it comes to Magento Code, but I have much experience with X-cart 4.0.x code and would love to move to Magento.
I think the first place to start is to narrow down which version to begin the import. Since 4.1.x just got released and I don’t currently use it I am going to work with 4.0.x. I know there are differences between database structure from 4.0.x to 4.1.x but I don’t know how the exported product csv file differers.
Next is “what is going to be imported?”.
I think products is the most important feature.
What product elements need to be imported and how complex 1-5 from my point of view?
1. Variants - 5
2. Price - 5 - can be complex depending on membership pricing and variants
3. Descriptions - 1
4. SKU - 1
5. Weight - 1
6. Category - 5
7.List Price - 1
8. Availble - 1
9.Tax - 3
10. Dimensions - 3 - can be simple depending on attributes set up in Magento or if auto setup
11. Images - not sure, Magento’s looks a bit complex
12. Extra Fields - 3 - complex depends on if attribute is set in Magento
13. Manufactures - 3 - see Dimensions
14. Shipping - not sure - see Dimensions
15. For Sale - 1
16. Free Shipping, Tax Free, Discount would have to be imported without and set up conditions in magento separately.
Any other comments or ideas are much appreciated.
