Review the Full Migration Configuration

Review the Full Migration Configuration

Prevent avoidable Full Migration errors by confirming that the connected stores, selected scope, configuration, capacity, target protections, and validation plan are ready before processing begins. Use this review as the final readiness gate for the first Full Migration under a purchased service.

The first migration has no last used configuration. Complete the current configuration from the beginning. After migration activity completes, Next-Cart can record the configuration for later continuation actions.

Before you start

Confirm that:

• the purchased migration service is Active;
• the migration path is correct;
• both store connections pass their required tests;
• the intended data scope is documented;
• Entity Points capacity covers eligible records that have not migrated before;
• target-store records that must remain are identified;
• representative validation records and pass conditions are prepared.

Reach the review point

1. Open the purchased service

   Go to Account -> Migrations -> My Migrations and select Start for the intended Active service.

2. Complete Connect Stores

   Follow the connection requirements presented for the Source Platform and Target Platform. Continue only after both stores pass verification.

3. Complete Configuration

   Review Data, Options, and Mapping. Complete Add-ons and Custom only when those purchased stages are available.

4. Pause before Migration

   Do not select Start Migration until the checks below pass.

Review the configuration

Area	What must be confirmed
Data	Every required data type is selected, automatic dependencies are understood, and excluded data is intentional.
Source Platform Options	Continue the previous migration or Migrate only newly added entities is enabled only when its source-reading behavior is required.
Target Platform Options	Target-data clearing, HTML removal, description images, and ID preservation match the intended target result.
General Options	SEO URLs, redirects, completion email, and detailed report settings match the project requirements.
Attribute Mapping	Each source value maps to an appropriate target Site, Language, Inventory Location, Attribute Set, Root Category, Customer Group, Payment Status, or Fulfillment Status where available.
Add-ons	Purchased filters, supported field or database mappings, and transformations are complete and do not conflict.
Customization	Every required purchased Customization item is selected.
Entity Points	Available capacity covers newly migrated eligible Products, Customers, Orders, and Blog Posts.

Source-reading options do not select the migration action

The migration action controls the execution and configuration path. Continue the previous migration resumes interrupted source processing, while Migrate only newly added entities limits source reading to records added after the last successful run. Review these settings independently from the migration action.

High-risk checks

Risk	Required decision
Clear data on Target Store before Migration	Confirm the affected target data types, recovery plan, and whether manually or application-created records can be deleted.
Migrate only newly added entities	Confirm that updated existing records are not required for this activity.
Continue the previous migration	Confirm that the earlier activity was interrupted and should resume from its last processing point.
Preserve IDs	Confirm target compatibility and absence of identifier conflicts.
SEO URLs and redirects	Confirm target support and the post-migration redirect plan.
Description images	Confirm that source images are accessible and supported by the target.
Add-on rules	Check dependencies, unique values, field destinations, and sample rule outcomes.
Customization	Confirm the selected item matches the approved requirement and acceptance criteria.

Make the readiness decision

Choose one result:

• Go - the configuration, capacity, target impact, and validation plan are ready.
• Revise - a connection, setting, mapping, Add-on rule, or selected Customization item must change.
• Escalate - the requirement cannot be completed safely through the available configuration.

Expected result

A reviewed configuration is ready to enter the Migration step. The reviewer can explain the selected data, source-reading behavior, target impact, mapping decisions, purchased features, Entity Points capacity, and validation plan.

Verify readiness

Check	Pass condition
Service	The correct migration path is Active.
Connections	Both stores pass verification.
Configuration stages	Every visible stage is complete.
Destructive behavior	Target-data clearing and replacement risks are approved.
Source scope	Resume or newly-added-only behavior is intentional.
Entity Points	Remaining capacity is sufficient.
Validation	Samples, pass conditions, and escalation path are documented.

If readiness fails

Return to the affected configuration stage and correct it. Do not use a later migration action to bypass an unresolved configuration or capacity issue.

Open a ticket when the required behavior is unavailable, Customization scope is unclear, or the target-store impact cannot be confirmed safely.

Next step

When the decision is Go, continue to Run a Full Migration.
