How to migrate your business from Kartra to SystemeScale
SystemeScale offers a complete migration of your business free of charge if you subscribe to an Unlimited monthly plan or one of the annual plans.
This article explains what is usually involved when migrating a business from Kartra to SystemeScale.
What is involved in a Kartra migration?
Migrating a business from Kartra to SystemeScale can involve sales funnel pages, blog pages and posts, courses, physical products, newsletters and campaigns, contact lists and tags, automations, domain integration, email authentication, and student enrollment into courses.
1. Migration of sales funnel pages
Sales funnels are usually at the heart of a Kartra business, so they are generally migrated first to make them available online quickly.
During this step, all pages are recreated as closely as possible to the originals, helping create a seamless transition for users when switching from Kartra to SystemeScale.
Your migration specialist retrieves and reuses data from your Kartra pages, including:
- Images
- Videos
- Audio files
- Titles
- Texts
- Buttons, visible layouts, sections, and page structure where possible
After the sales funnel pages are created, links between the pages are checked and tested to make sure they are fully functional.
2. Migration of blog pages and posts
If you have a blog in Kartra, it can be recreated in SystemeScale using the blog feature.
Websites are generally migrated through this section using the same technical approach used for sales funnel migration.
This can include blog pages, post layouts, post content, menus, images, and blog structure where applicable.
3. Migration of courses
Courses are imported individually and can include:
- Modules
- Lectures
- Quizzes
- Course content, text, files, videos, and structure where available
The SystemeScale course interface is simple and intuitive, so students should be able to navigate through their courses easily.
Once course migration is complete, the courses can be linked to their respective sales pages.
4. Migration of physical products
Physical products can be reproduced in SystemeScale with their main characteristics and options, including:
- Name
- Description
- SKUs
- Tax settings
- Currency
- Price
- Product images
After the product details are recreated, they can be connected to the relevant order forms or checkout pages.
5. Migration of newsletters and campaigns
Each email can be recreated in SystemeScale as it currently appears in your Kartra account, whether the emails are used for campaigns or newsletters.
The migration may take into account:
- Delays and deadlines
- Custom fields
- Email content, including links, buttons, text, and images
- Campaign sequence order and structure
After email content is recreated, configurations are tested internally to make sure everything is in order.
6. Migration of contact lists and tags
Kartra allows you to export your contacts. You can retrieve the file containing your contact list in Excel CSV format.
Importing your contact list into SystemeScale is generally fast and is usually completed toward the end of the migration.
Before importing your contact list, the list may be submitted to the deliverability team for review. Once approved, the contacts and their tags can be imported.
7. Migration of automations
Each automation, whether simple or complex, can be recreated in the Automations section of your SystemeScale account under:
- Rules
- Workflows
Because each platform behaves differently, automations are reproduced in a way that achieves the desired results rather than copied one-to-one.
The migration team focuses on reproducing the intended business result, such as tagging, customer follow-up, access delivery, email sending, segmentation, and course enrollment.
8. Integration and authentication of your domain name
When the migration is almost complete, the domain setup can be handled.
- Integrating your domain name: Your old Kartra domain name or domain structure can be connected to SystemeScale so your URLs can be personalized and kept as close as possible to their previous structure.
- Authenticating your domain name: Email authentication records such as DKIM or SPF can be generated and configured to help improve email deliverability.
9. Adding students to courses
Once your contact list has been imported and your URLs are up to date with your domain name, students can be enrolled in the courses to which they have access.
Automation can be used to enroll students in a course depending on the tags assigned to their contact records.
Important migration reminders
- Migration is handled manually by the migration team.
- Your Kartra content is recreated in SystemeScale as accurately as possible.
- Sales funnels are usually prioritized first because they are often the highest-impact assets.
- Forms can be created directly inside the relevant SystemeScale funnel pages or website pages.
- Do not edit assets while the migration team is recreating them.
- Contact lists may be reviewed before import and sending.
- Automations are recreated to produce the same result, even if the internal setup differs from Kartra.
- Review all migrated funnels, blogs, courses, emails, automations, products, and domain URLs before switching fully.
