This guide explains the different approaches to migrating product data into Norce Commerce, depending on your catalog size and complexity.

Required steps

  • Set up product settings
  • Set up product content model

Preparations

  • Determine migration approach based on catalog size
  • Prepare product data exports from source system
  • Before starting the migration process, consider:
  1. Catalog Size Assessment:

    • Small catalog: Excel-based migration
    • Medium catalog: Script-based solution
    • Large catalog: Contact Norce for guidance
  2. Data Organization:

    • Master data
    • Product content
    • Prices
    • Stock levels

How-to

Small Catalog Migration

  1. Use Excel imports for:
    • Master data + standard price
    • Content
    • Other prices
    • Stock levels

Larger Catalog Migration

  1. 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

Best Practices

  • 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.

More imports

  • Product images are imported from public urls, see sep documentation.

Important considerations

  • 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.
