You need to do the following:
1. Set up a testing environment in your local server with both websites and the all the databases
2. Backup all database in case something is wrong so that you can re-load the original database
3. Use the API the transfer data from one database to another
4. Testing the site in the local server with the newly loaded database to make sure everything is all right
5. Upload the new database online - before you do that make sure to backup the database again!
6. Test the website online to make sure everything is all right
In case something is wrong online and you can not fix it quickly, you can re-load the original database, and debug off-line.
