This guide explains the different approaches to migrating product data into Norce Commerce, depending on your catalog size and complexity.
- Set up product settings
- Set up product content model
- Determine migration approach based on catalog size
- Prepare product data exports from source system
- Before starting the migration process, consider:
Catalog Size Assessment:
- Small catalog: Excel-based migration
- Medium catalog: Script-based solution
- Large catalog: Contact Norce for guidance
Data Organization:
- Master data
- Product content
- Prices
- Stock levels
- Use Excel imports for:
- Master data + standard price
- Content
- Other prices
- Stock levels
- Implement staged imports:
- Start with master data
- Verify that the products are imported
- Follow with separate imports for prices
- Import stock levels independently
- Add content in separate batches
- Verify master data imports before proceeding
- Use separate imports for different product data
- Finalize product settings before large imports
- Use Norce for synchronization of product catalogs between environments. Instead of works through the migration many times.
- Product images are imported from public urls, see sep documentation.
- Make sure that larger product setting choices are made before importing large data assortments. Changes to f.ex. category trees affect pricing module performance, for some time after.
