Before initiating the migration process from Cafe24 to Tiendanube, it's essential to prepare your Cafe24 store meticulously. This preparation phase serves as the foundation for a successful migration, ensuring that all crucial data is accurately transferred and that your operations remain uninterrupted.

The first step is to conduct a complete audit of your existing store. This includes reviewing your product catalog, customer data, order history, and any custom configurations you have implemented.

By undertaking this thorough preparation, we ensure that we have all the necessary components for a seamless transition to Tiendanube, minimizing potential disruptions during the migration.
