Problem
I am trying to combine two Magento version 1 stores from separate domains. My goal is to combine the two existing sites into one so that it can be hosted on a new domain and after all the data is in one database run the migration tool to get to Magento version 2.
Environment
I have exported both stores live databases and imported one of them into a Docker instance (alexcheng/magento) so that I practice merging the data offline so that when I figure it out I can take the sites down for the actual merge and minimize down time.
Considered Options
MySQL Dump Database A and Merge Into Database B
When I try to take a mySQL dump of site A and import it to site B I am getting integrity check errors because they have conflicting primary/foreign keys. I believe that I can update the primary keys on database A by an offset before merging with Database B to overcome this issue. I believe that I need to cascade the changes so it updates all the foreign keys related to that primary key but I am unsure how to do this with many tables in the database.
Export Customers and Products from Magento Administrator Panel
I have read about exporting the Customers and Products to a CSV file from the Magento Administrator Panel. I believe that I can export site A to a CSV backup and then import to site B. I am worried that this will not retain order history.
Questions
Which solution would be more effective to merge all the data from both sites? Is there a better way that I am just overlooking? What resources would be best for me to research to achieve my end goal?
