You will have to change the CSV header, but that shouldn't be too complex. You will still have to add your categories beforehand though. Also, we don't have a solution yet for orders made before in virtuemart.

You might have to open you CSV in excel or a corresponding tool to change the headers name but that should be difficult. The categories can be imported in HikaShop but I couldn't find something to export them in VirtueMart. You can read more about the import feature on that page: [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...hikashop-import.html](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/73-hikashop-import.html) There is not a two clicks conversion tool for now.

Best wishes wolfsauge")* Hello Another VM user here wanting to migrate. I took a look at your component some months ago and It still seemed far away from VM. Nowadays things have changed, VM have released a beta version (they call it stable :whistle: ) that has already failed and your component seems the best e-commerce solution for Joomla. Please make an effort in the requested VM - Hikashop migrator. In my opinion: Users (customer data) + Orders is the first thing to consider. If we could migrate these 2 things to your shop I'll migrate tomorrow to your component, I don't mind having to pay something for this to be done but please think VM is your biggest competitor and many of us would like to be able to migrate ASAP.

It will import lot of things: products, prices, images, addresses, users, orders, manufacturers...

You can do an export of one product in HikaShop in order to get the names of the columns and what they are used for. That will generate a CSV of the data, like the one from VM that you will be able to open with Excel.
