Importing an existing Website

To import a ShopFactory 7 or 8 Website, just open it in ShopFactory 9.

Your website project will be copied and converted to ShopFactory 9. While ShopFactory 7 Website themes are compatible with ShopFactory 9, we highly recommend switching to a ShopFactory 8 or 9 website theme for improved performance and additional functionality. 

To import an existing Website created
with ShopFactory 4, 5, 6 or Webshop Pro,
follow these steps:

 

 1

You must have a ShopFactory 9 solution which is at least equivalent to your existing solution. You can NOT import a ShopFactory Pro shop into ShopFactory Light – however you CAN import a ShopFactory Light shop into ShopFactory Pro.

 

 2

Create a new website in ShopFactory 9.

 

 3

Right click with your mouse on Page 1 in the page tree window of ShopFactory and click on “Select a Page Style”.

A dialog will open and you can select a page style which will be used for the pages you import. You can later change the style, if you want.

 4

Once you have selected a page style, you can select a paragraph style in the same way. Right click again on Page 1, but this time chose “Select a Paragraph Style”. This style will be used to display your paragraphs.

 5

Click on “File” from the Menu bar. Then chose the option “Import older websites” and follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
