I am trying to transfer a VirtueMart 1 webshop in J1.5 to HikaShop on J3.3.
VM has product custom fields.
The procedure is: first to instal Hikashop on J1.5 and import the data from VM. Then making custom fileds in Hikashop and import data from VM (with queries).
Next step is to do something with the database to transfer hikashop tables form J1.5 to database J3.3
But how is this done?

Export in J1.5 and import in J3.3 is not a solution, because the prefix does not match.
It would be good to have a manual with detailed info.

There are a lot of VirtueMart shops to transfer to Hikashop.... if it is done easily.

Question: what do I have to do with my databases to get Hikashop running on J3.3?

The table prefix of the HikaShop tables will indeed have to be different, but it is really easy to change them.
Once you exported them via your phpmyadmin, open the sql file with a text editor and do an automatic search and replace and change jos_hikashop_ to XXX_hikashop_ where XXX is the prefix you're using on your new website.
Then, when you install HikaShop on your new website, it should pickup the tables from the old website automatically.
