Magento 1 to Magento 2 Migration : Products Uploading, M2E PRO Listing Mapping & Management

About ShippingTime

The client, a thriving e-commerce business with a significant monthly sales volume and a growing customer base, operated a live multi-store Magento 1 website connected to multiple eBay accounts through the M2E PRO platform.

The client sought to upgrade their website to Magento 2, migrate over 1000 products, and maintain the live connection to their eBay accounts without interrupting sales or website accessibility.

Our Approach

Project Complexity and Approach:

The project presented several challenges, including the need to migrate a large number of products, preserve sales history, and ensure uninterrupted marketplace connectivity. eBay Ninja’s team devised a meticulous approach to address these complexities:

Separate Server Setup: To avoid any disruption to the client’s existing website and M2E PRO settings, a separate server was set up specifically for the Magento 2 platform. This allowed for the implementation of all functionalities required for the migration without affecting ongoing operations.

Data Migration: Leveraging their expertise in bulk CSV uploads, eBay Ninja efficiently transferred over 1000 products from Magento 1 to Magento 2. The team ensured precise attribute values, product data, images, and other personalized information for each store view were accurately imported. This eliminated the need for manual product additions on the website, streamlining the migration process.

Marketplace Integration: Using the powerful M2E PRO platform, eBay Ninja seamlessly connected the client’s eBay accounts to Magento 2. Existing eBay listings were imported as third-party listings and mapped to corresponding products in Magento 2. Various M2E PRO listings were created to support different product categories, enabling efficient marketplace management and seamless inventory synchronization. Careful execution ensured the preservation of the client’s sales history.

Custom eBay Shop & Template: eBay Ninja assigned a team of creative graphic designers to revamp the client’s eBay shop and product listing template. The redesigned shop header incorporated the client’s unique business offerings and visually appealing elements to capture viewers’ attention. A mobile-responsive, active content-free listing template was designed to provide an engaging product presentation and increase sales conversion rates.

Results and Benefits:

The successful execution of the project delivered significant results for the client:

Smooth Migration: By utilizing a separate server setup and efficient data migration techniques, eBay Ninja seamlessly transferred the client’s Magento 1 website to Magento 2 without any disruptions. The migration process was completed without pausing any marketplace accounts or affecting website accessibility.

Streamlined Marketplace Management: The integration of M2E PRO facilitated efficient management of the client’s eBay accounts from within Magento 2. Seamless inventory synchronization ensured accurate stock levels, reducing the risk of overselling or underselling.

Enhanced Branding and Sales Conversion: The custom eBay shop design and listing template reflected the client’s brand identity and provided a visually appealing and user-friendly experience for eBay buyers. The mobile-responsive design and adherence to eBay’s active content policy resulted in improved sales conversion rates and increased customer engagement.

Time and Effort Savings: The bulk CSV product upload eliminated the need for manual product additions, saving the client significant time and effort. Additionally, the streamlined integration of eBay accounts and marketplace management simplified day-to-day operations.

Through careful planning, strategic execution, and creative design, eBay Ninja successfully assisted the client in migrating their multi-store Magento 1 website to Magento
