Odoo eCommerce is a top growing eCommerce platform for sellers who want a fast, flexible and a future-proof eCommerce. If you are looking for an e-commerce platform that offers unlimited business growth, flexibility, and scalability, then considering a migration to Odoo e-commerce platform can be one of the wisest decisions you can ever make for your online business. Although, the famous eCommerce monsters like Shopify, Magento, Bigcommerce etc., could be nice short-term platforms when starting your online sales. However, in the long run, when your business scales up and other departments like Inventory, Logistics, Purchase, Accounting etc., are needed for your business, you will need to integrate those eCommerce platforms with your other legacy based backend systems. Moreover, integrations are not always smooth. If you have an established eCommerce store, it will be important to integrate its sale and inventory details with your other POS and B2B channels for combined procurement towards your vendors. Hence, and all in one platform like Odoo will be the key solution after you reach certain heights with your business.  

Migration from other eCommerce platforms to Odoo may not be easy as you have to ensure a smooth migration of your SEO data and configurations and other vital information.  In this presentation, I will demonstrate the following key points that you should consider for a successful migration to Odoo eCommerce from other eCommerce platforms:

  • Transfer Catalog, Inventory & Existing Customer Accounts to Odoo
  • Updating NS
  • Migration of additional apps to the new platform. (Analytics, User Behavior, Tag Management etc.)
