Before performing the migration, ensure you have converted the web application to use claims based authentication. Use Sharepoint Central admin to do this if claims based authentication is not already enabled.

The Inline Product Property Editor (IPPE) is not supported in Commerce Server 2009 R2. If you are using the IPPE Web part with a Commerce Server 2009 site, you must delete the Web part from any Web page that uses it, and then uninstall the IPPE using the IPPE uninstaller before uninstalling Commerce Server 2009. You will not be able to remove the IPPE once you have installed Commerce Server 2009 R2. If you do not uninstall the IPPE prior to uninstalling Commerce Server 2009, the Web part will continue to appear in the Web Part Catalog but will not be usable.
