There are several extensions on the JED for that. Once done, you should export/import the "hikashop" tables from your old database to your new one via PHPMyAdmin. You might need to change the tables prefix if both websites don't have the same prefix. Finally, you can install HikaShop on the new website and it should automatically see the data from the old website. Also, you'll want to migrate via FTP the files and folders of the folders images/com_hikashop/upload/ (for the images) and media/com_hikashop/upload/ (for the files) and templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_hikashop/ (for the view overrides).

Can I migrate the Joomla users later, or will this cause problems? If so, all Hikashop registered users can't login?

Please make sure you don't create new users in the meantime.
