Moving your Magento 1 to Magento 2 may be one of the most challenging things out there. Luckily, Magento supported us with a database migration option.
The Magento 2 Data Migration Tool is here to help you convert your products, customers, order/sales data, store configuration, promotions/sales rules, and more to move to a clean Magento 2 setup.
Custom code, Extensions, and Themes are out of the current scope of the Data Migration Tool.
The currently supported migrations are the Community Edition (CE) versions 1.6.x, 1.7.x, 1.8.x, and 1.9.x and Enterprise Edition (EE) versions 1.11.x, 1.12.x, 1.14.x, and 1.14.x.
Tip
Check with your third-party extension developer for a Data Migration Tool to move the database code base to Magento 2.
Before we can start migrating our system, we need to check the following:
Have a clean Magento 2 system running as we set up in Chapter 1, Installing Magento 2 on Apache and NGINX.
Disable your cron jobs...
