How to transfer data from Magento 1 to Magento 2

Below are examples of scripts that can be used to transfer data from a Mirasvit Affiliate for Magento 1 to a Mirasvit Affiliate for Magento 2.

To use scripts, you will need the help of a PHP developer. Scripts may contain bugs and not transfer all necessary data, meaning that you may need to adjust them for your needs.

How to perform migration​

Prepare for migration​

  1. Run standard Magento 2 migration, and make sure that customers and orders have been transferred from your M1 store to M2.
  2. Make sure that the Affiliate for Magento 2 is installed on your M2 store.

Execute the following commands for migration​

  1. To export, place mirasvit_affiliate_m1_export.php to the root of your M1 store, and run export from the browser by opening the URL:

    http://store_m1.com/mirasvit_affiliate_m1_export.php

    Alternatively, if you want to export from the SSH/Console: navigate to your store's root and run the command below:

    php -f mirasvit_affiliate_m1_export.php

  2. If the script returns success, the file affiliate_export.xml will be created at the root of the store with all of your data. Transfer it to the root of your M2 store.

  3. To import, place mirasvit_affiliate_m2_import.php to the root of your M2 store, and from the browser by opening the URL:

    http://store_m1.com/mirasvit_affiliate_m2_import.php

    Otherwise, navigate to your store's root and run the following command from the SSH/Console:

    php -f mirasvit_affiliate_m2_import.php

  4. Check migrated data.

  5. When the migration is completed, remove both migration scripts.

Troubleshooting​

In some cases, the import script can crash on timeout or a memory overloading error (due to large quantities of data). In this case, you should restart the import script by reloading the browser page. It will skip previously uploaded data, and proceed from the last unprocessed record.
