Hi @carterjohn11_ca ,
I highly recommend you to use an automated data migration tool which saves a lot of time, money and effort. This tool can transfer all your data such as products, customers, orders,.. from your old store on Magento to the new one on the latest Magento version. Besides, it also offers a number of additional options so that you could easily choose which one you need for your migration:
- Clear Data On Target Store Before Migration
- Preserve Order IDs
- Create The 301 Redirects
- Migrate Customers Password
- SEO URLs Migration
- Preserve Customer IDs
- Strip HTML tags
- Migrate Additional Images
- Preserve Product IDs
If you are still considering about this data migration service, it provides demo for free so that you can run a demo to preview how it works and how your data is managed on your target store, before making the final decision. Hope this helps!
