Once you have run a migration with WooCommerce Importer or PrestaShop Importer, the app remembers your choices for the next migration from that same connection. If you return months later and start a new migration, the app scans the source store and then automatically opens and focuses the settings form, pre-filled with the choices you saved last time.
What is remembered
The app remembers what you chose to migrate and the related settings, including:
- products, categories, customers, orders, coupons, manufacturers, pages, posts and publications;
- language and translation languages;
- for a PrestaShop multistore connection, the PrestaShop shop you selected;
- order prefix, order notes, selected order statuses and their financial and fulfillment mappings;
- product, page and post redirects;
- product reviews, description images, metafields and product metadata;
- weight unit and date filters;
- answers from the guided migration about scope and description style.
These settings belong to the store connection. A different connected store has its own saved settings.
What always resets
Two settings are deliberately not reused:
- Overwrite existing products starts off for every new migration. Turn it on only when you intend to replace matching products.
- A product-category filter set by support applies only to that migration and its follow-up jobs. It does not carry into a later, unrelated migration.
What happens after a rescan
Your selected order statuses and their financial and fulfillment mappings survive a rescan. You do not need to select or map them again.
For PrestaShop multistore connections, choosing a different shop in the advanced dashboard starts a rescan immediately. When it finishes, the setup form returns with that shop’s counts. The selected shop and the other migration settings are still available the next time you start a migration from that connection.
Repeat last migration
Repeat last migration copies the settings from your last migration job. Starting a separate new migration uses the settings saved for that store connection, with the two safety exceptions above.
