When you migrate orders from Magento 1 to Magento 2, you’re not just moving numbers from one table to another — you’re preserving the heart of your business. Order history is more than a list of past transactions. It’s your tax record, your proof of purchase for customers, your secret weapon in support tickets and refunds, and the foundation of your analytics.

Losing this data during a Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration isn’t just inconvenient — it can cause real damage. Think customer trust issues, broken loyalty programs, and messy tax audits. Your support team might be left guessing, your accountant scrambling, and your CRM looking more like a blank slate than a reliable resource.

That’s why order migration matters. It keeps your business running smoothly behind the scenes and ensures customers feel like nothing’s changed — except for a faster, better Magento 2 experience.

Your business depends on it. Continue Reading

The blog post also explains how to export orders from Magento 2.

Unlike the Magento 2 order import, the corresponding export process is available in the administration right on the order page. Although the Magento 2 export of orders is possible with the default tools, we describe a more fully-featured but at the same time natural way of doing that. 

The final chapter of the article reveals other features of the tool that we use to run data transfers. So, let’s dive deep into the Magento export-import of orders.
