The most cost effective way would be to simply not worry about your old orders and just import customers and products.
If you do need orders there are a couple of modules that will import orders, at least one that is free. The process is fairly slow and you have to set it up.
If you want everything all at once I would recommend using Cart2Cart. It is quick, effective and easy to use.
Yes, you can use the data-migration-tool
for this, and I'd recommend to do so over any other methods: it will do the necessary field value conversions where needed.
We were in a similar position as you: we imported product data (catalog, products) at an earlier point in time, then built the shop's design and functionalities and now will do a final data migration run for the customers, quotes, orders, logs and similar stuff.
In the config.xml
, comment out the substeps you do not want to run again. in my case, I have the following disabled:
- settings: everything
data: eav step, url rewrite step, configurable prices step, tier price step, post processing step
in map.xml
, I made sure to ignore all tables that I do not want the data to be migrated for.
Be sure to include the necessary
<ignore><document>{tablename}</document></ignore>
in both sections (<source>
and <destination>
(maybe called <target>
in older versions)).
Be sure to test the migration on a copy of your db's (both magento 1.x and magento 2.x) as it can be quite destructive. It took me a few days and tries to get the mappings adjusted to our needs, but now the migration runs through without a hick.
I was not able to get the delta migration properly running with the above modifications, but in most cases, you'll only want to migrate the data just once before switching the new shop live.
If your 1.x shop has a fair amount of data, the migration process will take quite a while tho. be sure to run the migration in a screen
shell session or similar to avoid data loss due to disconnects.

I think we should map some more tables:
If we had the invoices and shipments, we need to map more tables.
Note: when we want to clear the order from Magento 2, we can use this module.
