Frequently Asked Questions

Some questions our users have asked

How secure is data migration via API?

We take the security and privacy of your webshop and SEO data very seriously. Our platform uses encryption protocols that meet industry standards to protect your data during the migration.

How does Syncer get all my data?

Syncer securely collects your data via an API connection with your current e-commerce platform. By logging into our dashboard and entering the necessary credentials, we can automatically synchronize and prepare your product information, customer data, SEO settings, and more for migration to your new platform. Security and privacy are always our top priorities.

What exactly is synchronization?

Synchronization means that data between two systems is automatically kept up-to-date. With Syncer, this means we continuously link your current webshop with the new environment, so that all information – from products and inventory to orders and customer data – is updated in real time. This ensures a completely identical, up-to-date dataset in both systems, without you having to manually transfer data.

How do I create a migration myself?

With Syncer, it's easy to create a customized migration plan! In our dashboard, you choose the components that are important for your webshop, such as data transfer, SEO migration, design, and additional customization options. Our modular design gives you the freedom to select exactly what you need and fits your budget. Once you've made your choices, the dashboard guides you step-by-step through the migration process – fast, clear, and without requiring any technical knowledge!

What does the Syncer app do?

The Syncer app ensures an automatic and secure migration of your webshop data to a new platform. It continuously synchronizes all important data – such as products, customer information, orders, inventory, and SEO settings – between your current and new shop. This allows you to continue working without interruption during the migration, with the assurance that all data is complete and up-to-date. In addition, the app offers handy tools and insights to ensure a smooth and efficient migration.

Which platforms will Syncer migrate to?

Syncer supports migrations to the most popular e-commerce platforms, including Shopify (Plus), WooCommerce, Magento 2, Lightspeed E, and Shopware. We ensure a seamless transition, automatically transferring all your important data and settings to the new platform.
