Moving a store from 1C-Bitrix to Horoshop

Store migration from 1C-Bitrix to Horoshop moves an online store from an engine built on infoblocks to a cloud platform where hosting, updates and support are included in the plan. The catalog, SKU offers and page addresses move according to a map that matches old and new URLs.

  • products with prices and SKUs, photos and sections from the 1C-Bitrix catalog infoblocks;
  • SKU offers become product variants;
  • infoblock properties turn into attributes for filters;
  • addresses based on the symbolic codes of sections and elements get 301 redirects;
  • the exchange with the accounting system is discussed during the audit;
  • Horoshop plan limits on products and orders are checked before work starts.

How a move from 1C-Bitrix to Horoshop works

People looking for store migration from 1C-Bitrix to Horoshop usually want convenient catalog management and no server of their own: Bitrix needs hosting, updates and developers for every change. Horoshop includes hosting, SSL, updates and support in the plan.

The Bitrix catalog lives in infoblocks: sections, elements, properties and SKU offers. It is often filled by the accounting system through data exchange. Addresses are built from the symbolic codes of sections and elements, so we build the matching map from these codes and handle technical addresses with parameters separately.

What we move from 1C-Bitrix and what we rebuild

  • products with SKUs, prices, stock and descriptions – by import from Excel after exporting the infoblocks;
  • we rebuild SKU offers as product variants with a choice of size, color or volume;
  • we break infoblock properties down into attributes that we build filters from;
  • we create catalog sections manually in the Horoshop admin panel following the infoblock tree;
  • SEO fields of elements and sections and the pages that get traffic;
  • we build the design in the Horoshop editor and replace Bitrix components and custom code with built-in features.

We export customers and orders as spreadsheets to an archive. If prices and stock come from the accounting system, we discuss during the audit how to update them on Horoshop: by file import or by exchange via the API; we confirm the conditions before the start.

How we work and what we need from you

  1. audit: Bitrix version, infoblock structure, exchange with the accounting system;
  2. checking volumes against Horoshop limits;
  3. an address map based on symbolic codes;
  4. sections, import, filters, SEO templates;
  5. payment, delivery, feeds, test orders, domain switch.

We need access to the Bitrix admin panel or a catalog export, a description of the exchange with the accounting system, and access to Search Console and Analytics. The timeline depends on the infoblock structure and on whether price and stock exchange is needed; we name it after the audit.

Cost of migration from 1C-Bitrix and terms

We calculate the cost after a free consultation and audit, because Bitrix projects vary in complexity. We put the price and scope in the contract, the domain and the Horoshop admin panel belong to you, and the platform plan is paid separately. The general migration scheme is on the page "Migration from other platforms to Horoshop", an SEO audit helps reduce the risk of losing traffic, and we go through the details of the exchange with the accounting system in a consultation via the contacts page.

Questions and answers

What happens to the exchange with 1C?

The Bitrix exchange with the accounting system does not move to Horoshop. We choose how to update prices and stock during the audit: file import or exchange via the API, and we check the conditions on both sides.

How many products and orders does Horoshop support?

The limits depend on the plan: the number of products is limited by the plan, while the monthly order limit is the same for all plans and equals 1,000. If your store is bigger, we will tell you before work starts.

Will the SKU offers be kept?

Yes, SKU offers become product variants with selection buttons. We check their number and prices after the import.

Will the store be down during the move?

No. Bitrix keeps working while the new store is being tested, and we switch the domain at the agreed time.
