Step 1: Pre-Migration Assessment
In this initial phase, we focus on understanding the existing setup on Eticaret. This includes evaluating product catalogs, customer data, and any existing customizations or integrations. A comprehensive assessment is crucial to ensure a successful migration to osCommerce.
Our objectives during this step are to:
- Identify all data types to be migrated: products, customers, orders, and content.
- Evaluate any dependencies such as third-party integrations, payment gateways, and shipping methods.
- Determine the current hosting environment and any necessary adjustments for osCommerce.
- Document existing customizations for potential replication or adaptation in osCommerce.
This assessment helps us create a tailored migration plan and mitigate potential risks associated with data loss or downtime.

Step 2: Data Backup
Data backup is a critical step in the migration process. We create a complete backup of your Eticaret store, safeguarding against any unexpected issues during the migration. This backup should include:
- Product Data: All product details, including descriptions, pricing, and images.
- Customer Information: Complete customer profiles, order history, and payment details.
- Content Pages: Back up any blog posts, FAQs, and other content pages that exist on your site.
- Settings: Any custom settings or configurations that need to be replicated in osCommerce.
We recommend using reliable backup tools or plugins that create full site backups, including databases and files, ensuring a comprehensive safety net before migration.

Step 3: Preparing osCommerce Environment
Before migrating the data, we need to prepare the osCommerce environment. This involves:
- Server Configuration: Ensuring the hosting environment meets osCommerce's requirements.
- Installing osCommerce: Using Softaculous or manual methods to install osCommerce on the server.
- Module Installation: Installing necessary modules or extensions that align with your business needs, such as payment gateways and shipping modules.
- Setting Up Security: Implementing SSL certificates and other security measures to protect customer data.
Once the environment is set up, we can move on to the actual data migration.

Step 4: Data Migration
Data migration is the core of this transition. We employ specialized tools to facilitate this transfer, ensuring data integrity and minimizing downtime. The migration process includes:
- Exporting Data from Eticaret: Using built-in tools or database queries to extract product, customer, and order data.
- Transforming Data: Formatting the extracted data to fit osCommerce's database structure, which may involve data cleansing or reformatting.
- Importing Data to osCommerce: Using osCommerce's import features, we carefully load the transformed data into the new environment, ensuring that all records are accurately captured.
- Testing for Errors: Conducting thorough checks post-migration to identify any discrepancies or errors in the migrated data.
This step is crucial as it directly impacts your store's functionality and customer experience.

Step 5: Customization and Optimization
Customization is essential to make your osCommerce store resonate with your brand identity. This phase involves:
- Theme Selection: Choosing or developing a theme that reflects your brand aesthetics.
- Custom Features: Implementing any unique functionalities required for your business, such as custom checkout processes or additional payment methods.
- SEO Optimization: Ensuring that all SEO practices are in place, including metadata, URL structures, and sitemap generation to maintain search engine rankings.
- Performance Optimization: Implementing caching strategies and optimizing images and assets to enhance loading speeds.
During this step, we also ensure that all integrations with third-party tools are functioning correctly and that your site is ready for a smooth operation.

Step 6: Testing and Quality Assurance
Testing is a critical step before launching the new osCommerce site. We conduct various tests to ensure everything is functioning correctly:
- Functional Testing: Verifying that all features and functionalities perform as expected, including user registration, product searches, and checkout processes.
- Performance Testing: Assessing site speed and responsiveness under different load conditions to ensure it can handle expected traffic.
- Security Testing: Checking for vulnerabilities in the new setup, ensuring SSL is correctly configured and that there are no security loopholes.
- User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Inviting a select group of users to test the site and provide feedback on usability and functionality.
This careful testing process helps us identify and rectify issues before the site goes live, ensuring a successful launch.

Step 7: Launch and Post-Migration Support
Launching the new osCommerce store marks the culmination of our migration efforts. This step involves:
- Final Launch: Making the site live and accessible to customers, ensuring that DNS settings and redirects are properly configured.
- Monitoring Post-Launch: Closely monitoring site performance and user interactions for a period post-launch to quickly address any issues that arise.
- Training and Support: Providing training to your team on how to navigate and manage the new osCommerce platform, along with ongoing support for any challenges they face.
