Your CS-Cart to X-Cart Migration in Detail
-
Step 1: Prepare Your CS-Cart Data as a CSV File & Upload
Begin by exporting your essential data from your CS-Cart store into a CSV file format. Once your data is ready, Cart2Cart accepts this CSV file as your source for migration. Simply upload your prepared CSV file to our platform to initiate the process.
-
Step 2: Connect Your X-Cart Store
Next, establish a connection to your new X-Cart store. For X-Cart, Cart2Cart utilizes the secure Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload) method. You will need to download our connection bridge files, unpack them, and upload the
bridge2cartfolder to your X-Cart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This creates a secure link for data transfer. -
Step 3: Select Data for Migration
On the Entities Selection page, you gain precise control over which data types you wish to migrate. Choose from a comprehensive list of entities such as products, customers, orders, categories, and more. Our system highlights any dependencies to ensure data integrity.
-
Step 4: Configure Additional Options & Map Data
Enhance your migration with various additional options, including preserving SEO URLs, customer IDs, and migrating images from descriptions. You can also map specific data fields like customer groups, order statuses, and product attributes to ensure they align perfectly with your X-Cart store's structure.
-
Step 5: Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, run a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited set of data to your X-Cart store, giving you the opportunity to review the results and ensure everything migrates correctly and as expected.
-
Step 6: Launch Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch your full data migration. Cart2Cart will then transfer all your selected data to your X-Cart store, providing real-time progress updates so you can monitor the entire process.
