LitExtension has been widely known as one of the world leading experts in Data Migration Service that can be used by any users, even without technical or programming skills. It has been a great honor of serving and satisfying thousands of merchant all over the global. But we realized that our version 2 is still not the best LitExtension Version for you and we won’t stop our upgrade to bring better service to clients, therefore our dedicated data experts have improved and made it even much more advanced. We are very happy and proud to announce that LitExtension officially releases Version 3 which helps your data transfer easier, quicker and cheaper.
Let’s see what are advantages of Version 3 that more outstanding in comparison with our own Version 2.
1. The data migration process much easier
Firstly, the most significant improvement in making your migration process much more effortless is the higher level of automation.
If in version 2, you will complete your data transfer via a module called LitExtension. It is installed and attached directly on your target site and can be found right on your menu panel, now in Version 3, you can perform by easily registering an account on LitExtension site, then create New Migration and start the process effortlessly. This Version 3 will provide you a very user-friendly interface. We created it to make sure that anyone can use at the first look with no training or complicated introduction required, or in the other words, our detail guide could bother you as an unnecessary part.
2. Automated Connector checking
Secondly, the same process you need to do here is Connector Installation, now you can download it directly by a click on your screen.
Then unzip and paste it into your cart root folder by FTP/SSH protocol, back to your migration page, you will receive a message of Successful Connector Installation without manual checking (skip this step with cart using API). It is very simple to set up a migration, right? Just hit next to continue.
3. Automated mapping recommendation
Thirdly, in Version 3, you will have a chance of mapping Languages, Order Status and Customer Group by our automated recommendation. With this step, your migration is only waiting for a click to start the transformation of Demo and Full Data Migration. You surely can find performing migration even simpler than your expectation.
