Cart2Cart - #1 eCommerce Data Migration Service

How to Perform Store Migration Properly?

Moving your online store to a new platform is a major decision: you need to preserve products, customers, orders, SEO, and store structure without downtime or data loss. Doing it manually is error-prone and time-consuming. With Cart2Cart, you run an automated migration from your browser: no coding, no server access on your side. Over 350,000 stores have migrated with us. Typical reasons to migrate include upgrading from a legacy or end-of-life platform, scaling to a solution with better hosting and support, or consolidating multiple stores.

Use the Migration Cost Estimator above to see an instant price for your source and target platforms and data volume. Then run a free demo migration to verify the result before going live. Most full migrations complete in a few hours with minimal store downtime.

Common Reasons to Migrate

Store owners switch platforms for clear reasons: legacy or end-of-life software (e.g. Magento 1, older WooCommerce or PrestaShop versions) no longer receives security updates; scaling limits on hosting, performance, or features; cost and complexity of maintaining a self-hosted cart; or consolidation of multiple stores into one. Whatever your reason, automated migration reduces risk and lets you keep focus on selling.

Manual migration is error-prone and time-consuming: copying products and orders by hand leads to missing data, broken links, and SEO loss. Cart2Cart runs in your browser with no coding or server access required on your side. You stay in control while we handle the technical mapping and transfer.

What Gets Migrated?

Cart2Cart transfers the data that matters for your business:

• Products — Titles, descriptions, SKUs, prices, variants, categories, and images (re-hosted to the new platform).
• Customers — Accounts, emails, addresses, and order history. Passwords require a one-time reset on the new store due to different encryption.
• Orders — Order IDs, totals, line items, and statuses mapped to the target platform.
• Categories and structure — So your catalog and navigation stay organized.
• SEO — Optional 301 URL redirects so old product and category links keep their search value.

Exact entities and options depend on the source and target cart; each migration path has a detailed breakdown.

Migration in 4 Steps

1. Connect your source cart — Enter your current store URL and provide API keys or install a small bridge if required. No direct database access needed in most cases.
2. Connect your target cart — Authorize Cart2Cart on the destination platform (e.g. install the app or provide API credentials).
3. Select data and options — Choose which products, customers, orders, and other entities to migrate; set category mapping, redirects, and any extra options.
4. Launch and verify — Run the migration. Progress is visible in the dashboard. When done, verify a sample of products and orders on the new store. Many migrations finish in 2–6 hours depending on data size.

Try a Free Demo First

A free demo migration lets you test the process with a limited number of entities (e.g. 10 products, 5 orders) so you can check mapping, redirects, and data quality before paying. Setup usually takes 15–30 minutes. No credit card required to sign up or run the demo.
