WooCommerce to Volusion
Your WooCommerce to Volusion Migration in Detail
Cart2Cart simplifies the complex process of moving your store data. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how your WooCommerce to Volusion migration will proceed:
-
Connect Your Source Store (WooCommerce)
First, you'll specify WooCommerce as your current e-commerce platform. Cart2Cart offers multiple secure connection methods for WooCommerce, including API access (requiring Consumer Key and Secret) or various Bridge upload options (manual FTP/SFTP upload, or automatic upload via Admin Credentials). Choose the method that best suits your technical comfort level.
-
Prepare Data for Your Target Store (Volusion)
For Volusion as a target platform, Cart2Cart operates by preparing your WooCommerce store data into a downloadable, Volusion-compatible file format. Unlike platforms that allow direct API import, Volusion typically requires data to be imported manually via its administrative panel. After the migration process is complete on our end, you will download these pre-formatted data files directly from your Cart2Cart account. You will then use Volusion's native import tools to upload this data to your new store.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Next, you'll choose exactly which data entities you want to migrate from WooCommerce to Volusion. This includes essential items like products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You have granular control to select all or specific data types, ensuring only relevant information is transferred.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with a range of additional options. These features allow you to preserve critical elements like SEO URLs, order IDs, customer passwords (where supported), and product image URLs. You can also opt to clear existing data on your target Volusion store before migration to ensure a clean transfer.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full migration, we highly recommend performing a free demo migration. This transfers a limited set of your data (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your target Volusion store, allowing you to review the results and ensure everything looks correct. This step builds confidence and helps identify any potential adjustments needed.
-
Launch Your Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, you can proceed to launch the full migration. Cart2Cart will then transfer all your selected data from WooCommerce, prepare it in Volusion-compatible files, and make them available for you to download and import into your new Volusion store.

The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data you're transferring. A small store with a few hundred entities might take minutes, while larger stores with tens of thousands of entities can take several hours.

Will my WooCommerce store experience downtime during the migration?
No, Cart2Cart performs the migration without affecting your live WooCommerce store.
