First thing is to transfer your Joomla users from the old website to the new website. Then, export the hikashop_ tables from your old database via your phpmyadmin and import them back to your new database after renaming the prefix of the tables if necessary. Then, copy the media/com_hikashop and images/com_hikashop folders from the old to the new website via FTP. Finally, install HikaShop on the new website and you should get all your HikaShop content back. You'll just have to recreate your menus and modules via the menu/module manager of Joomla unless you have something to port your menus and modules over.
