Hello Everyone,
We're preparing to migrate from Zen Cart 154 to Open Cart 3.0.3.1 and we have approximately 1750 products, the product IDs match in both stores. We use native urls in Zen but would like to switch to seo URLs in Open Cart. The store will be in the root folder.
What's the smartest and least risky way to execute the 301 redirect?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
By using Cart2Cart extension module or with the PDO extension with limited queries running sequentially. The last resort would be by creating a new service request in the Commercial Support section of the forum to get this done as a custom job.
Dedication and passion goes to those who are able to push and merge a project.

Hello,
We're attempting to migrate from Zen Cart to Open Cart. We use native urls (products_id=1) in Zen but will be using seo URLs in Open Cart. The store will be in the root folder. This is the redirect we're trying to use:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} products_id=1$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(index\.php)?$ https: // www. the web site .ca/bw-10-printed-envelopes [R=301,L]
This page does redirect to the Open Cart product page but the url includes information from the Zen Cart site as shown here:
https: // www. the web site .ca/bw-10-printed-envelopes?main_page=product_info&cPath=8_1_381&products_id=1
Can anyone give us an idea what might be causing this?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

you were planning to use 1750 redirect statements, one for each product, am I correct?

if so, you can just use:
Code: Select all
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} product_id=1
RewriteRule .* https://www.thewebsite.ca/bw-10-printed-envelopes [R=301,L]Crystal Light Centrum Taiwan

when i was moving from zencart to opencart 3 years ago i managed to preserve my seo urls by using OCSEO extension, no redirect were needed.
he is not using SEO url's now.
