Also, do I need to buy the version that matches the version of nopCommerce that I'm running? So nopAdmin 1.9 is for nopCommerce 1.9?
Thanks,
Hi, thanks for your questions. You didn't specify if the product data in Store A was using nopCommerce, and if so, which version....so I can only speak to what steps you would take if Store A was nopCommerce. If not, you would need to somehow get your Store A data into Excel and format the spreadsheet to match the format the NopAdmin import tool requires. There is a sample Excel import sheet in all NopAdmin products so you can see the structure that is needed to import your data.
NopAdmin versions 1.80 and up have the ability to export all your product data as well as the category and manufacturer maps into Excel in the same format that the Import tool in NopAdmin uses in the same version. So, if Store A was a nopC 1.90 format and Store B is also a nopC 1.90 format you could export your data from A and turn around and upload it into Store B. The only thing that does not come across however are images - you would need to remap those in the Store B spreadsheet - but all your data and category and manufacturer maps would be there.
If Store A was 1.90 and Store B was 2.10 (for example) you could also export out of Store A - you may need to add a couple of columns in the Excel file for importing into Store B because of differing database layouts - then do the import.
Bottom line is, NopAdmin can import your product data, images, category maps and manufacturer maps directly from Excel...how you get it into that format is your choice. If your existing store is nopCommerce 1.80 or above, just export your data using NopAdmin, change the database config to point to Store B, and import it back in - provided Store B is the same version as store A.
Regarding your second question, yes...NopAdmin intentionally follows the same version formats as nopCommerce. However, NopAdmin versions are
not backwards compatible (some folks get confused by this) because of the differing nopCommerce database schemas from version to version. So, NopAdmin 1.90 can only be used with nopC 1.90, NopAdmin 2.00 with nopC 2.00, and so on. NopAdmin 2.10 will not work with nopC 2.00 or 1.90, etc.
Hope this helps - if you have more questions about your specific requirements please feel free to contact me at
