This software is provided as-is, without warranty or guarantee of any kind. Use at your own risk.

Migration prerequisites

1. A clean setup of TomatoCart
   The migration tool is designed to import data from existing osCommerce store to a clean setup of TomatoCart store. Therefore all the data in the TomatoCart database will be removed.
2. The osCommerce and TomatoCart store must be on the same server
   The migration tool is designed to import data from existing osCommerce store to a TomatoCart store. Therefore two stores have to be installed on the same server.
3. Languages
   If you have multiple languages installed in osCommerce, please download all these language packs from http://www.tomatocart.com/translator and put them under the folder "data" before you go on with this installation. Notice that the file name must be saved as language code. Please do not include any country code. For example, American English should be saved as "en.zip", rather than "en_US.zip".
