Shopyy store migration
This guide explains how to use the Genstore Migration Assistant to migrate your Shopyy store data (including store information, products, etc.) to Genstore.
Start migration
- When your store has a large amount of data, the migration process may take a long time.
- Do not modify API permissions during the migration process, as it may cause the migration to fail.
- Avoid making large-scale data changes to your Shopyy store during migration to prevent data inconsistencies.
- Install the Genstore Migration Assistant.
Step 1: Obtain Shopyy API access permissions
During migration, the system needs to read and synchronize store data through the Shopyy API. Before starting migration, you must create a developer app in Shopyy and obtain an API access token. Follow these steps:
- Log in to your Shopyy admin, go to Stores -> List.
- Find the store you wish to migrate and click Backend.
- Navigate to Settings > System.
- Click Developer to enter the developer module.
Note: By default, a developer app is pre-installed with broad permissions. For data security, it is recommended to create a new app.
- Click Add a new App, and enter your App name.
- By default, all Readonly permissions are selected automatically. Click Save.
- Back to the app list, click the copy icon next to the Token to obtain your Admin API access token.
Step 2: Open the Genstore Migration Assistant
- Log in to your Genstore admin and navigate to Apps.
- In the Installed tab, find Migration Tool.
- Click Launch app, select Shopyy as the migration source, and click Start migration.
Step 3: Store authorization
- Enter your Admin API access token.
- After completing the settings, click Next.
Step 4: Select migration modules
Genstore supports migrating the following modules from Shopyy to Genstore:
Module | Required |
---|---|
Store | Optional |
Products | Optional |
TIP
When migrating products, you can choose the Overwrite update method: the system will match existing data based on the handle and update the content, instead of creating duplicates.
Step 5: Customize migration settings
You can select specific data for migration based on filter conditions:
- Products: Filter by status (active, inactive).
Step 6: Start migration
- After confirming all settings, click Start migration.
- The system will begin processing your migration. You can monitor the migration progress in the app interface. Migration time depends on the data volume, so please be patient.
- Once migration is complete, log in to your Genstore admin to finalize your store configuration. We recommend reading the Store Quick Launch Checklist.
