How on Earth am I meant to move orders from Magento 1.9.4 to Magento 2.4.5-p1?
Someone suggested the ‘Improved Import & Export for Magento 2‘:
https://firebearstudio.com/the-improved-import.html
I’ve reached out to them regarding exporting the orders first from Magento 1.9.4 and they explained that they have an extension for that for Magento 1.x but they are no longer providing any support for it:
https://github.com/firebearstudio/iimagento1
I finally got it installed, but it does not appear to have any Export functionality whatsoever! Only the following options appear:
Firebear
Improved Import
General
Product Images Import
Product Custom Options Import
Product Tier Prices Import
Customers password import
Export multiple product images
Now, I was thinking their extension would EXPORT the data (orders) in the same format from Magento 1.9.4 as their ‘Improved Import & Export for Magento 2’ requires on the IMPORT on the side of Magento 2.4.5-p1. I’ve reached out to them but I am not holding my breath as their support seems to be the worst I’ve ever come across (generally don’t care, answer simple question days later etc.)
What are other options for the Order migration from 1.9.4 to 2.4.5-p1? I see there is a Magento native Orders Export in:
- Sales >> Orders >> Export to CSV EXPORT
If I export the orders this way, what extension or process can I follow to IMPORT those orders on Magento 2.4.5-p1? I would really prefer NOT to use the official Magento Migration Tool as it badly messed up another Magento instance for us but worse case, I will do that – is it possible to use the tool for orders only and would that be safe? Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
