Square Online to Adobe Commerce Migration Guide

Access your Square Dashboard and navigate to the export section to download comprehensive CSV files containing all store data. Square Online provides separate export options for products, customers, orders, and inventory data. Export all available data sets including product variants, customer information, order history, and any custom fields you've configured. Ensure you're exporting the most recent data by scheduling the export during low-traffic periods.

Provision your Adobe Commerce Cloud environment or set up Adobe Commerce on-premises infrastructure based on your enterprise requirements. Configure the necessary server resources, database connections, and CDN settings for optimal performance. Install Adobe Commerce with the appropriate edition (Commerce Pro or Commerce Enterprise) and configure basic system settings including timezone, locale, and currency settings. Set up development, staging, and production environments following Adobe's best practices.

Choose an Adobe Commerce theme that aligns with your enterprise branding and B2B requirements, considering themes optimized for large catalogs and complex product configurations. Install and configure the selected theme, customizing the design elements to match your brand guidelines and user experience requirements. Implement responsive design adjustments and ensure the theme supports advanced features like quick order forms, customer-specific pricing, and bulk ordering capabilities that are essential for enterprise operations.

Map your Square Online product data structure to Adobe Commerce's more sophisticated catalog system.

Verify that all product images are properly uploaded and associated with their respective products.

Import customer information from Square Online CSV exports into Adobe Commerce, creating appropriate customer groups and segments for enterprise-level customer management. Configure Adobe Commerce's B2B features including company accounts, shared catalogs, negotiable quotes, and purchase order functionality if required.
