user5730 Designer Da United Kingdom Membro dal lug 2018 user5730 12 lug 2018 16:20 Hello folks I have create an Ecommerce store on woocommerce for fitness related products but due to some suggestion from other community experts I am planning to migrate my website from woocommerce to any other Ecommerce platform. I have seen couple of different options like magento and opencart but I am little confused because I need such platform which can migrate my existing products from woocommerce store. I am current using eStore free woocommerce themes with some other plugins like: YITH Infinite Scrolling and WooCommerce Currency Switcher. Is there any method we can convert the woocommerce store to litecart? Thanks in advance.
tim Founder Da Sweden Membro dal mag 2013 tim 13 lug 2018 00:06 I wasn't sure if this was a spam post or real.You can migrate data to LiteCart using Cart2cart or using CSV exports. Templates are platform specific, and so are extensions/plugins/addons.Here is a poor article how to create a template.https://wiki.litecart.net/doku.php?id=how_to_create_a_templateMay I ask if performance is the reason you are migrating from WooCommerce?

user271 Da Sconosciuto Membro dal dic -0001 user271 31 lug 2018 11:18 @user5730 seems to be shy about the reasons. Well, I'm not. I'm leaving WooCommerce, because nowadays:It's heavy, a resource eater. By the LC migrating I'm expecting to decrease power demands about 30 %, which might lead to one step lower web hotel package. A nice saving.It's slow. The reason: It requires a hell of a pile of plugins, even on a small shop, to get the things really done.It's shaky. Not what it used to be. They are constantly fixing what ain't broken. Mentioned plugin burden leads to collisions.WC language system is a bad mess. A zillion PO files causes serious headache.It used to be nice. Unfortunately, they forgot the old wisdom "small is beautiful". I hope LiteCart devs don't step on this trap.
user6849 Developer Da United States Membro dal lug 2019 user6849 15 lug 2019 11:24 I think WooComemrce is a very good eCommerce platform. Not sure why you don't want to use it anymore. I have used WooCommerce migration service provided by Next-Cart, they helped me a lot, great customer service. You should try them once.
tim Founder Da Sweden Membro dal mag 2013 tim 27 lug 2019 12:51 @yesperd WooCommerce can be great until you build up data. Then it gets big performance issues. The coming LiteCart 2.2.0 with PHP 7.3 should be ridiculously fast. And if you wanna go faster look into MySQL 8 with utf8mb4 and NginX.@user6849 I don't think Next-Cart supports LiteCart yet. However Cart2Cart supports Litecart 1.x.@user5730 Most merchants use the CSV import tool for importing their data from other platforms.
johnny_v Developer Da Netherlands Membro dal mag 2016 johnny_v 31 lug 2019 23:09 For some smaller shops (i.e. 0-20 products with a few visitors daily) I use Woocommerce, because the site owners are usually craftsmen with little knowledge about IT stuff etc. They can easily add some products which are integrated into their general informational website easily. However, it changes when you have more products but also larger amounts of visitors.... I've seen Woocommerce on decent webhosting packages gone on its knees where Litecart, with more products and way more visitors at once stays up (and staying fast at it!).
user6849 Developer Da United States Membro dal lug 2019 user6849 1 ago 2019 07:11 @tim As I see Next-Cart supports the migration service at: LiteCart to WooCommerce migration. Cart2Cart is a good choice too, they currently support up to 80 eCommerce platforms. Some eCommerce platforms can only be found at Cart2Cart.
tim Founder Da Sweden Membro dal mag 2013 tim 1 ago 2019 18:19 Next-Cart seems to support exporting "from LiteCart" but not "to LiteCart". Maybe they just need a first customer case to cover this.
