We are moving over from an old shopping system to storeFront and IS.
We need to import about 20,000 customers, and need to bring their passwords over.

How can we set their password in storeFront / IS to match their old password?



Thanks
Josh

In the system manager module>tools you can see the Import wizard and you will be able to create template for the customer import and one of the Fields there is "password". you can input their password on the field. thanks and please let me know how can we assist you further.

I'm having a problem importing zipcodes that begin with zeroes.   For instance, my template zipcode is 01234, but the wizard sees it as 1234, errors out with abort message.

How do I get around this?

Hi,

You can highlight the "postal code" column and then right click on it and select "format cells" then under the number tab select "text" then click ok. After selecting that option you can now type zero at the beginning of the postal code. thanks and hope that helps.

Hello Joshua:

Only one extra thing you might have to do is decrypt the password stored in your current system (if they are encrypted)

Cheers,
Pratt
