We had an old online store on Opencart, and we have launched a new one on Laravel. We need to transfer all data (content and product attributes) to the new site. Whether manually, automatically, or semi-automatically - it doesn't matter.

Task: transfer the online store from OpenCart to Laravel, preserving all content, images, and SEO.

What needs to be transferred:

All products, categories, pages (titles, descriptions, prices, tags, SKUs).

All images (of products, categories, banners).

All SEO data (URL, title, description, keywords)

All texts and content from informational pages.

It is very important that everything remains the same for search engines (ideally - even improved :) )

You will have full access to the new site on Laravel (ftp, database, admin panel)

There will be no admin access to the old site; everything will be taken from the user side.

Hello!

Thank you for your inquiry. We have reviewed your task of migrating the online store from OpenCart to Laravel. The task is clear, and we are ready to assist you in solving it.
Transferring data while preserving content and SEO positions is a complex task, especially considering the lack of access to the admin panel of the old site. However, due to the small volume of data (about 50-60 products and 7-8 categories), we can effectively address this issue.
Proposed action plan
Data collection (Parsing): Since we will not have access to the database of the old site, we will use a parsing (web scraping) method to collect all the necessary information directly from the pages of your old store. This will allow us to extract:
Product information: names, descriptions, prices, SKUs, attributes.
Category structure: names, descriptions.
Content from all informational pages.
All SEO data: URLs, meta tags (title, description, keywords).
Links to all images for subsequent upload.
Data processing and structuring: The obtained information will be carefully checked and structured according to the requirements of the database of your new site on Laravel.
Data import: We will upload all content to the new site, including products, categories, texts, and images.
SEO preservation: This is a key stage that includes:
URL mapping: We will create a map of all old URLs and match them with the new ones on the Laravel site.
Setting up 301 redirects: A permanent 301 redirect will be set up for each old URL to the corresponding new one. This is critically important for search engines, as it allows the "weight" of old pages to be passed to new ones and avoids traffic loss.
Transferring meta-data: All meta tags (title, description, keywords) will be transferred and correctly placed on the new pages.
Questions for clarifying details
In order for us to create an accurate work plan and estimate the cost, please answer a few questions:
Old site URL: Could you provide a link to the old site on OpenCart so that we can analyze its structure?
URL structure on the new site: Has the URL structure (links) on the new Laravel site already been defined? Ideally, for better SEO preservation, it should be as close as possible to the old one. If the structure changes, we will need to know the new URL formats for setting up redirects.
Field correspondence: Are all the necessary fields for transferring attributes available on the new site?

Hello,

I can handle the full migration from your old OpenCart store to the new Laravel platform with complete preservation of data, SEO, and structure. Since there are only about 50–60 products and 7–8 categories, I can ensure a clean, accurate, and SEO-optimized transfer — keeping all URLs, meta tags, and content consistent (or improved where possible).

Here’s what I’ll do:
• Extract all visible data (products, categories, pages, SEO meta, images) directly from the frontend of your old store.
• Rebuild it into your new Laravel database structure using scripts for automation and manual verification for accuracy.
• Preserve SEO-friendly URLs and metadata to maintain rankings.
• Ensure images, content, and page formatting remain identical or improved for performance and responsiveness.

I’ve handled similar migrations before — including cross-platform content transfers (OpenCart → Laravel, WordPress → custom CMS, etc.) — ensuring no data loss, broken links, or SEO drops.

Ready to start immediately and deliver within 2–3 days depending on structure access.

Best regards,
Jeo Vincent Carretas
