1. Preparing
For Source Store:

• Please ensure you have the right permission to upload files into your Source Store
• It must not block access from Target Store to the connector.

Source Store can operate normally during migration as it requires a very limited resource for the process.

For Target Store:

• Target Store should be placed in a stable hosting or in local host.
• It also must not block connection to Source Store.
• Webserver (mostly apache) should have full permission to write on /media folder.
• PHP Compatibility: PHP 5.3 or later
