Two pages of migration tiles. Foundation data first, store data second. Every section in the right order so every relationship resolves correctly on arrival.
Every customer logs in on day one with their existing password. Verified silently on first login, upgraded to a modern hash in the background. No reset emails to send on launch day.
Orders migrate with totals, line items, billing and shipping address snapshots, customer notes, and full status history. When a customer calls about an order from three years ago, you have the record.
Products arrive with their description, SKU, stock settings, and dimensions. Cart-attribute custom fields become product options. Shopper-group price tiers survive intact for your wholesale and VIP customers.
VirtueMart shopper groups map to Joomla user groups via a guided interface with smart defaults pre-filled. Your wholesale buyers land in the right group before you run the customer migration.
VirtueMart product categories migrate as Joomla categories, nested correctly under your new shop tree. Customers find products exactly the way they always did.
Every tile runs in 500-row batches with a 20-second time budget. Stop it, close the browser, come back tomorrow. Already-migrated rows are tracked and skipped automatically.
VirtueMart tax calculation rules migrate as J2Commerce tax profiles with rates. The tax setup your accountant configured migrates in one tile. You do not rebuild it from memory.
Remote PDO connection mode lets you migrate from a live VirtueMart database on a separate server, with optional SSL, while your old store stays live. You switch when you're ready.
VirtueMart coupon records migrate to J2Commerce. The promo codes you already have keep working on your new store.
Forced password resets on launch day lose customers who never try to log in again. The VirtueMart 3 Migrator avoids them. Every customer logs in on day one with the password they already had. That includes accounts with older hash formats.
On first login, the stored legacy hash is verified against what the customer types. If it matches, the account is silently upgraded to a modern secure hash in the background. The customer experiences nothing unusual except a store that works exactly as expected.
Your customers log in as before.
Not everyone pays the same price in your store. The shopper-group mapping tile lets you assign each VirtueMart shopper group to the correct Joomla user group, and the price tier migration carries over every per-product price your wholesale buyers, VIP customers, and contractors expect to see.
Manual migrations often lose these prices. This migrator carries them over.
Your wholesale buyers see the right price on day one. Or you'll be hearing about it.
Every tile runs in 500-row batches with a 20-second time budget per request. Every committed row is tracked in a unique ID map. Stop the migration at any point, after a dropped connection or a closed browser, and resume where you left off.
You can run it across several sessions and check progress in between.
Stop, close the browser, and resume where you left off.
Your catalog, orders and customers move to J2Commerce 6, and customers keep their passwords.
A leather goods store on VirtueMart, with trade buyers in their own shopper group, can install J2Commerce on its existing Joomla site, run the Foundation page (currencies, countries, tax profiles, manufacturers, order statuses), then work through the Store Data page over a few evenings. Trade buyers log in with their existing passwords and keep their pricing tier, and the order history is in the admin.
An agency migrating a garden supply retailer with several shopper-group price tiers can connect to the live VirtueMart database remotely, run test migrations on staging, use the Reset Migrated Data tool to wipe and restart between runs, and run the production migration on go-live day while the old store stays live.
A wholesale distributor with retail, contractor, distributor and key-account shopper groups can run a test migration on staging and spot-check products across all four price groups before running production, so each group logs in to the prices it expects.
An automotive parts store whose warranty department checks orders daily can run the order tile across several evenings in 500-row batches, resuming from where it left off each time, with line items, customer notes and billing address snapshots included.
