Cafe24 to Yampi

Step 1: Prepare Your Existing Cafe24 Store for Migration

Before initiating the migration from Cafe24 to Yampi, it is essential to prepare your existing store properly. This involves a comprehensive evaluation of your current setup to identify the elements that need to be migrated, including products, customers, orders, and any customizations in your store. By understanding what you have, we can better plan how to transfer this information smoothly to Yampi.

First, we will log into your Cafe24 admin panel to assess the data types available. Here’s the process:

• Gather Product Information: Compile a list of all products, including their descriptions, images, prices, and stock levels. This can typically be exported as a CSV file directly from Cafe24.
• Review Customer Data: Export customer records, including names, emails, and any order history. These details are crucial for retaining customer relationships post-migration.
• Order Data: Ensure you have a complete backup of order history, which may include order IDs, products ordered, customer details, and order statuses.
• Custom Features and Integrations: Identify any custom features or third-party integrations in use. Document how these are functioning in Cafe24 to replicate them effectively in Yampi.

This preparatory step is vital for ensuring nothing is overlooked during the migration process. It sets the foundation for a successful transition.

Step 2: Set Up Your Yampi Account

Once we have prepared your Cafe24 store, the next step is to set up your Yampi account. This involves creating an account and configuring it to suit your ecommerce needs.

Follow these detailed steps:

1. Create a Yampi Account: Visit the Yampi website and select ‘Sign Up’. Fill out the required details such as your business name, email address, and password.
2. Choose Your Plan: Yampi offers various pricing plans tailored to different business sizes. Select the plan that best suits your operational needs.
3. Configure Your Store Settings: After account creation, navigate to the store settings. Here, you’ll input essential information such as your store name, logo, and contact details. Ensure these align with your branding.
4. Set Up Payment Gateways: Configure your payment methods. Yampi supports multiple payment options, so choose those that will best serve your customers.
5. Shipping Settings: Establish your shipping methods and rates. Yampi provides flexible shipping options, allowing you to set up different rates based on regions.

This setup process is critical as it prepares your new store environment for data migration.

Step 3: Export Data from Cafe24

With your Yampi account set up, we can proceed to export your data from Cafe24. This is a crucial step to ensure that all relevant information is transferred accurately to the new platform.

Here’s how we will do it:

• Product Export:
  • Navigate to the Products section in the Cafe24 admin panel.
  • Use the export function to download a CSV file that includes all product fields (name, description, price, image URLs).
• Customer Data Export:
  • Go to the Customers section and select the option to export customer data.
  • Ensure that the export includes all relevant fields such as names, emails, and order history.
• Order History Export:
  • Access the Orders section and export the order history in a similar manner.
  • This data is essential for maintaining customer relationships and understanding past sales.
• Backup Custom Code:
  • If there are any custom scripts or code in your Cafe24 store, ensure you back these up as well, as they will need to be adapted for Yampi.

Once all data is exported, we will have the necessary files ready for migration to Yampi.

Step 4: Prepare Data for Yampi Import

After exporting your data from Cafe24, the next critical step is preparing this data for import into Yampi. This involves formatting the data according to Yampi's specifications.

Here’s how we will accomplish this:

• Review Yampi's Data Structure: Familiarize yourself with the data structure required by Yampi. This includes understanding mandatory fields and acceptable formats.
• Format Product Data:
  • Edit your product CSV file to match Yampi’s required fields. This might include renaming columns and ensuring that all necessary information is included.
  • Check for any product variants and ensure they are correctly represented in the new format.
• Format Customer Data:
  • Similarly, modify the customer CSV to align with Yampi's structure, ensuring all mandatory fields are present.
  • Verify email formats, as incorrect formats may lead to import errors.
• Format Order Data:
  • Ensure that the order history data is structured correctly for import, paying attention to date formats and order statuses.

This preparation is essential to avoid data loss or corruption during the import process.

Step 5: Import Data into Yampi

With the data formatted correctly, we are ready to import everything into your Yampi store. This step is crucial for ensuring your new platform is populated with all the necessary information.

The import process consists of the following steps:

1. Access the Yampi Admin Panel: Log into your Yampi account and navigate to the Import section.
2. Upload Product Data:
   • Select the product CSV file and follow the prompts to upload it.
   • Yampi will validate the data upon upload, checking for any errors.
3. Upload Customer Data:
   • Next, upload the customer CSV file, again ensuring it passes validation.
4. Upload Order Data:
   • Lastly, import the order data and ensure all records are accurately reflected in your new system.
5. Review Import Results:
   • Post-import, review the results for any errors or discrepancies. Yampi will typically provide a report on the import process.
   • Address any issues that arise to ensure all data is correctly migrated.

This step is critical for building your new store’s foundation on Yampi.

Step 6: Configure Your Yampi Store Settings

Once the data import is complete, it’s essential to configure your store settings in Yampi to ensure everything operates smoothly. This includes payment methods, shipping options, and tax configurations.

Here’s how to set it all up:

• Payment Configuration:
  • Navigate to the payment settings section and select your preferred payment gateways.
  • Configure the necessary API keys and settings for each payment method you plan to offer.
• Shipping Configuration:
  • Set up shipping methods, including rates and rules based on regions.
  • Make sure you test the shipping options to ensure they function correctly during the checkout process.
• Tax Settings:
  • Configure tax settings based on your business location and applicable laws.
  • Set tax rates for different regions or product categories as necessary.

Properly configuring these settings is vital for operational success and compliance with local regulations.

Step 7: Test Your New Yampi Store

Before launching your new Yampi store, it is crucial to conduct thorough testing to ensure everything operates smoothly. This step helps identify any issues that may affect customer experience or operations.

Here’s how to effectively test your store:

• Product Testing:

  • Test product variants (if applicable) to confirm they display and function correctly.
