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.
