Your osCommerce to CSV Migration Process
Migrating your osCommerce store data to a CSV file with Cart2Cart is a streamlined, step-by-step process designed for accuracy and ease. Here’s how it works:
-
Connect Your Source osCommerce Store
First, specify osCommerce as your Source Cart. You will then connect your store using the Cart2Cart Bridge. This involves downloading a zip file, unpacking it, and uploading the
bridge2cartfolder to your osCommerce store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This secure bridge enables Cart2Cart to read your store's data. -
Select CSV File as Your Target
Next, choose "CSV File" as your Target Cart. Since you are exporting data to a file, there are no connection credentials needed for a target store. Instead, Cart2Cart will prepare your data for download in the CSV format you specify.
-
Choose Data Entities for Export
On the Entities Selection page, precisely choose which data types (entities) you wish to export from your osCommerce store. You can select products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You can also review how individual fields will be mapped and exported to the CSV file.
-
Configure Additional Export Options
Enhance your data export by selecting additional options. These can include preserving original IDs, migrating images referenced in descriptions, and more, ensuring your CSV output is as comprehensive as possible.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration & Download Results
Before committing to a full export, run a free demo migration. This transfers a limited number of entities to a CSV file, allowing you to review the structure and content. Once the demo is complete, you can download the generated CSV files to verify the data accuracy and format.
-
Initiate Full Data Export
Satisfied with your demo? Proceed to initiate the full data export. Cart2Cart will process all your selected osCommerce data and generate comprehensive CSV files for you to download, providing a complete and portable archive of your store.
