Select Data

Select Data

Select Data defines which supported data types participate in the migration. The available choices are determined by the active Source-to-Target path, so a data type can appear for one platform combination and be absent for another.

Available data types

The table separates path availability from the additional Demo Migration limit. Path-specific means the data type is available only when both platforms and the active migration path support it.

Data type	Full Migration	Demo Migration
Taxes	Path-specific	Available when supported by the path
Manufacturers	Path-specific	Available when supported by the path
Categories	Path-specific	Available when supported by the path
Products	Path-specific	Available when supported by the path
Customers	Path-specific	Available when supported by the path
Orders	Path-specific	Available when supported by the path
Reviews	Path-specific	Not included
Coupons	Path-specific	Not included
CMS Pages	Path-specific	Available when supported by the path
Blog Posts	Path-specific	Available when supported by the path

Demo Migration has two additional exclusions

Reviews and Coupons are not included in Demo Migration. For the other data types, Demo availability still depends on the active Source-to-Target path.

Choose the migration scope

1. Review the data types shown for the active migration and any dependency notice associated with the selection.
2. Select the data types required for the migration. Use Select All when every available data type is required, or Clear All to reset the selection.
3. Review any data type selected automatically because another selected type depends on it.
4. Click Next after the scope matches the intended migration.

Dependencies protect data relationships

Some data types rely on parent records. When a selected data type requires another supported data type, Next-Cart can select the required dependency automatically. Review the resulting scope before clearing a required parent selection.

Data selection is not record filtering

Select Data decides which supported data types participate in the migration. It does not filter individual records inside a selected data type. Use Data Filter when that Add-on is included and record-level conditions are required.

Include or exclude whole data types

Use Select Data when the requirement is to include or exclude an entire supported data type. For example, if Orders are not part of the approved scope, leave Orders unselected. Do not create a Data Filter merely to exclude every record of a data type.

A selected data type can require another supported data type as a dependency. If Next-Cart selects a dependency automatically, review why it is required before changing the scope. The final selection should preserve the relationships required by the data types that remain in scope.

Use Data Filter only when the data type is included but some records inside it must be selected by supported field-level conditions.

What to verify

Before continuing, confirm that every required data type is selected and that automatically selected dependencies are intentional. A data type appearing in Select Data confirms path-level availability; it does not mean every source field or relationship has a direct target equivalent.
