Moving from 1ShoppingCart to WP eStore

[LanelT]

I have been using 1ShoppingCart and decided to switch. I was able to install and get everything set-up without any issues (way more user friendly than 1SC — THANKS!).

I have one issue and am not sure if it’s even possible. I have a membership based site with recurring orders. 1SC processes the recurring orders itself, is there a way to move those over to this store or do you have any recommendation on how to move everyone over? I’d prefer not to lose any of my members. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The best thing to do would be to use the power of PHPMyAdmin and excel spreadsheet to import the data. For instance you would firstly need to export to CSV file the relevant eStore table/tables to see the required fields you would need to fill in for import.

Then you would do a CSV export of the tables from your 1SC system.

Next, using excel or similar, you would then copy and paste the relevant data from the 1SC CSV to the eStore CSV file such that the proper fields/columns are filled in.

Then lastly you can import this new CSV file into the eStore DB using PHPMyAdmin.

This video/post will explain more about using PHPMyAdmin import/export:

Now, moving the existing recurring payment agreement is not so trivial unfortunately (this is due to the way recurring payment agreement is made with the payment gateways). How many recurring payment members are we talking about? Which payment gateway were you using for the recurring payment?

We have about 80 recurring payments and are using Authorize.net for our payment gateway.
