Magento to Volusion
Your Magento to Volusion Migration Process in Detail
Migrating your store data from Magento to Volusion with Cart2Cart is a straightforward, step-by-step process designed for efficiency and accuracy:
-
Connect Your Source Store: Magento
First, specify your current Magento store as the source platform. You'll need to provide your Magento store's URL and choose a connection method. Cart2Cart supports API Connection (requiring appropriate credentials) or the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload), where you upload bridge files over FTP/SFTP to your Magento root directory.
-
Connect Your Target Store: Volusion
Next, select Volusion as your target platform. For Volusion, Cart2Cart facilitates migration via a File Download method. This means our system will process your Magento data and generate files compatible with Volusion's import system. You will then download these files and manually upload them to your Volusion store to complete the data transfer.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Choose precisely which data entities you wish to migrate from Magento to Volusion. Our wizard presents a clear list of options, including products, categories, customers, and orders. You can select all or specific entities based on your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Magento to Volusion Migration
How long does a Magento to Volusion migration take?
The duration of your migration depends on the volume of data you're transferring. A free demo migration typically takes just a few minutes, allowing you to quickly preview the results. A full migration can vary from a few hours for smaller stores (e.g., ~1000 entities) to several days for very large or complex stores (e.g., 60,000+ entities).
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
Cart2Cart migrations are designed to minimize downtime. The data transfer process runs in the background, allowing your Magento store to remain fully operational. You can continue selling and managing your store without interruption. Once the migration is complete, you'll simply switch your DNS to point to your new Volusion store.
What data can I migrate from Magento to Volusion?
You can migrate a wide range of data, including product categories, products (with variants, images, descriptions), customers (with billing and shipping addresses), orders (with statuses, products, prices), manufacturers, reviews, coupons, customer groups, gift cards, stores, and taxes. Refer to the 'Data You Can Migrate' section above for a detailed list of supported entities and fields.
Can I perform a demo migration from Magento to Volusion?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited set of your Magento data (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to Volusion. It's a great way to evaluate the migration results, check data accuracy, and ensure everything functions as expected before committing to a full migration.
What connection methods are available for Magento and Volusion?
For Magento (source), you can connect via API (requiring appropriate credentials) or by uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files over FTP/SFTP. For Volusion (target), Cart2Cart uses a File Download method, where we generate compatible data files for you to download and then upload to your Volusion store's import system.
Is it possible to migrate customer passwords from Magento to Volusion?
No, based on the available data and Volusion's import capabilities, direct migration of customer passwords from Magento to Volusion is not supported by Cart2Cart. Customers will need to reset their passwords on the new Volusion store.
What about SEO URLs and 301 redirects?
While Magento supports SEO URLs and 301 redirects, Volusion's target platform capabilities do not explicitly support the import of these specific fields for automatic recreation. Therefore, Cart2Cart does not offer direct migration of SEO URLs or automatic 301 redirects for a Magento to Volusion transfer. You may need to manage SEO redirects manually post-migration.

This app performs greatly. The service is very reliable and the support is superb. The service is quite costly for me but in the end, it's worth its money. There is also an automated shopping cart migration and I'm very happy about that! I'm really satisfied.
