Select Data to Migrate

Select Data to Migrate

Select the data types that belong in the migration before configuring options, mappings, or purchased features. This defines which kinds of records Next-Cart can process; it does not set record quantities or create record-level filter rules.

Availability depends on the migration path

Next-Cart shows a data type only when the selected migration path supports it for both the source and target data models. Select at least one available data type to continue.

Before you start

Confirm that:

• the migration scope is approved;
• both store connections are working;
• representative validation records are identified;
• relationship-dependent data has been considered;
• the Entity Points Plan has enough capacity for the intended counted records.

Available data types

Data type	Typical data included
Taxes	Tax classes, rates, and jurisdiction rules.
Manufacturers	Brand and manufacturer records.
Categories	Product category tree and hierarchy.
Products	Product catalog, variants, options, images, and inventory where supported.
Customers	Customer accounts, addresses, and groups.
Orders	Order history, line items, totals, shipping, and related states.
Reviews	Product reviews and customer ratings.
Coupons	Discount codes, vouchers, and promotions.
CMS Pages	Static pages and landing-page content.
Blog Posts	Blog articles, categories, and authors.

As a result, the available list can differ between migration paths.

Understand dependencies

When a selected data type requires supporting data, Next-Cart selects the dependency automatically.

For example, Reviews can require Products because each Review must remain connected to a Product.

Other relationship considerations include:

• Products can depend on Manufacturers, Categories, and Taxes;
• Orders can depend on Customers, Products, Taxes, and Coupons;
• Reviews can depend on Products and Customers.

Do not remove an automatically selected dependency without review

A migration can complete while relationships remain incomplete. Keep required parent data selected unless the necessary records already exist on the target store and can be matched reliably.

Processing sequence

Next-Cart’s core processing sequence is:

Taxes → Manufacturers → Categories → Products → Customers → Orders → Reviews → Coupons → CMS Pages → Blog Posts

Select the data

1. Open Data

   Open Data in the migration configuration.

2. Review the available data types

   Confirm that the displayed data types match the approved migration scope.

3. Select the required data types

   Select each data type that must be included. Use Select All only when the full supported scope is required.

4. Review automatically selected dependencies

   Check each dependency notice and confirm that the required parent data should remain selected.

5. Check the selection count

   Confirm that the selection count matches the intended number of data types.

6. Continue to Options

   Select Next after the data selection is complete.

Entity Points behavior

Selecting a data type does not reserve a fixed record quantity. Entity Points are calculated from eligible counted records covered by the service, not from the number of data types selected. Support data such as Taxes, Manufacturers, and Categories does not consume Entity Points independently.

Records already counted under the same purchased migration service do not consume Entity Points again merely because they are processed during another supported migration activity.

Expected result

After completing Data:

• at least one supported data type is selected;
• the selection matches the approved scope;
• required dependencies are included;
• the displayed selection count is correct;
• the configuration is ready for Additional Options.

Verify the selection

Check	Pass condition
Scope	Every selected data type is required for the intended result.
Dependencies	Every required parent dependency remains selected or already exists on the target store with reliable matching.
Count	The selection count matches the intended number of data types.
Entity Points	The expected counted-record scope fits the available Entity Points Plan.
Validation	Representative records are identified for each selected data type.

If this does not work

Issue	What to do
A required data type is not shown	The source or target data model may not support that data type for the migration path. Submit a ticket if the requirement is essential.
Next is unavailable	Select at least one data type and resolve any dependency or connection warning.
An unexpected parent is selected automatically	Review the dependency notice. Keep it selected unless the relationship is already satisfied on the target store.
The scope exceeds the Entity Points Plan	Upgrade the plan or revise the approved scope before execution.
You need only certain records within a data type	Use the Data Filter Add-on when purchased. Data selection alone cannot filter individual records.
