Will my existing products and categories transfer over?

Because of the vast programming and database structure differences between the original Shoppe Pro Site Builder software and the new Shoppe Pro Ultimate system, it is not possible to export/import everythingfrom your old site.  
 
The following data can be imported and transferred over from the original Shoppe Pro Site Builder sites:
 

Categories and sub-categories info including:

    • Name
    • Description
    • Parent Category (if sub-category)
    • Meta Title
    • Meta Keywords

(NOTE: Category Images will not import)
 

Products Info including:

    • Name
    • Catalog ID (SKU)
    • Category #1 Association (Categories 2-XX associations will not transfer over).
    • Price
    • Sale Price
    • Description
    • First Image associated with each product (any second or third images won't transfer over)
    • Meta Title
    • Meta Keywords

NOTE: Options/Attributes (Such as sizes, colors, etc) will not import.



What about my site "pages"

Unfortunately your site's custom pages such as "About Us" or other pages you created are not able to be imported. You will need to manually re-create those in your Ultimate admin under Cart Settings > Appearance & Content > Edit Site Pages

 

Submit an Import Request

Please click this link to request a Site Builder import, to import the importable data into the new system to get you started to avoid some of the data entry work involved in moving your site from the original Shoppe Pro Site Builder to your new Ultimate site. Please allow up to 48 hours for this import as it can be a time consuming process.
 
The Shoppe Pro Ultimate shopping cart system is very user friendly and it is very easy to add additional categories, products, and content pages with ease.
