Here, your Data Migration Tool and Magento 2 store must have the same version.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To check the version of your Magento 2 store, head to the root directory via SSH and use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>php bin\/magento --version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You also need to update the location of the Data Migration Tool package in the .JSON file. Use the following commands to do so:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>composer config repositories.magento composer https:\/\/repo.magento.com\ncomposer require magento\/data-migration-tool: {version}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the above code, replace {version} with the version of your Magento 2 instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, you will need a developer&#8217;s authentication keys to install the Data Migration tool. Follow these steps to get your authentication keys:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to<a href=\"https:\/\/commercemarketplace.adobe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Magento Marketplace<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Log into your profile and navigate to <strong>My Products &gt; Access Keys<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Create a New Access Key<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the public key as your username and the private key as your password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The configuration and script files for the Data Migration Tool will be in the provided directories below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Magento 1 Open Source to Magento 2 Open Source:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lt;Magento 2 root dir&gt;\/vendor\/magento\/data-migration-tool\/etc\/opensource-to-opensource<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Magento 1 Open Source to Magento 2 Commerce:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lt;Magento 2 root dir&gt;\/vendor\/magento\/data-migration-tool\/etc\/opensource-to-commerce<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Magento 1 Commerce to Magento 2 Commerce:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lt;Magento 2 root dir&gt;\/vendor\/magento\/data-migration-tool\/etc\/commerce-to-commerce<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, you need to create a config.xml file in the respective directory to perform the data migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you are migrating from Magento 1 Open Source to Magento 2 Open Source, go to the following directory and rename config.xml.dist to config.xml:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lt;Magento 2 root dir&gt;\/vendor\/magento\/data-migration-tool\/etc\/opensource-to-opensource\/&lt;Magento 1.x version&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, open the config.xml file in an editor and add the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Magento1-Encrypted-Key<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the above code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The &lt;source&gt; tag contains details of the Magento 1 database.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The &lt;destination&gt; tag contains details of the Magento 2 database.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The &lt;crypt_key&gt; is essential to decrypt the data; you can find it in the &lt;Magento 1 root dir&gt;\/app\/etc\/local.xml file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Save the configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Perform Magento 1 to Magento 2 Migration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now start with the migration but before that keep the following things in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make sure that the Data Migration Tool has access to the internet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stop all other activities in Magento 1 except order processing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stop Magento 1.x cron jobs, except the required ones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Magento Settings Migration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, navigate to the Magento 2 root directory using the SSH Terminal, and run the following command to perform Magento 1 to Magento 2 settings migration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>php bin\/magento migrate:settings --reset &lt;path to your config.xml&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the above code, replace the &lt;path to your config.xml&gt; with the path of the file we created in the previous step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the settings migration is done, a success message will be displayed on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Magento Data Migration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, you migrate all your Magento 1 data to Magento 2, such as products, categories, orders, customers, wish lists, ratings, etc., by using the following CLI command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>php bin\/magento migrate:data --reset &lt;path to your config.xml&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A success message will appear after the Magento 1 to Magento 2 data migration. In case of any error, the data migration process will be paused at the last-known-good state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, reindex all the Magento 2 indexers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also turn on the incremental changes to update upcoming data and orders from Magento 1 to Magento 2 by running the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>bin\/magento migrate:delta &lt;path to config.xml&gt;<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Make Required Changes to Migrated Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the data is migrated from Magento 1 to&nbsp; Magento 2 platform, manually check all the configuration, product details, payments, sales rules, third-party extensions, and other data.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Launch Magento 2 Store on a Live Server<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verify everything, then move your new Magento 2 store from production to the staging site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow these steps to do so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Put the Magento 1 store in maintenance mode<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start Magento 2 cron jobs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press Ctrl + C in the Data Migration Tool window to stop incremental updates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Re-index the Magento 2 stock indexer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cache the pages in Magento 2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, verify the Magento 2 site in staging.

While working with an agency can seem expensive, it saves you from the risk of data loss, extended downtime, and critical functionality errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a comparison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Cost Component<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>DIY&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Professional Agency<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Main Cost<\/strong><\/td><td>Internal Developer Hours.
