Your osCommerce to CSV Export Process
Cart2Cart simplifies the process of extracting your osCommerce store data into a CSV file. Follow these straightforward steps to get your data exported:
-
Connect Your osCommerce Source Store
Begin by selecting osCommerce as your Source Cart. To establish a secure connection, you will need to upload the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your osCommerce store's root directory. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for data extraction.
-
Select Data Entities for Export
Choose precisely which data entities you wish to export from your osCommerce store. Cart2Cart supports a wide range of data types, including products, categories, customers, and orders. You have full control over what data is included in your CSV export.
-
Map Data Fields (Optional but Recommended)
For optimal organization, you can customize how your osCommerce data fields map to the column headers in your target CSV file. This ensures that the exported data is structured exactly as you need it for future use or import.
-
Configure Additional Export Options
Enhance your export by selecting additional options. These can include migrating images embedded within descriptions or preserving original IDs for categories, products, customers, and orders, ensuring data integrity in your CSV.
-
Run a Free Demo Export
Perform a free demo export of a limited number of entities to a CSV file. This allows you to preview the export structure and verify the accuracy of your data before committing to a full export.
-
Review & Download Demo CSV Results
After the demo, you will be able to download the generated CSV files. Carefully review these files to ensure all data is correctly formatted and complete. This step is crucial for confirming that your setup meets your expectations.
The Demo Results Review page allows users to download the migrated data (such as categories, customers, orders, and products) as files. It's particularly useful for new stores that primarily support file-based data imports, offering an additional method to verify the demo migration's success and review any data that might have been missed.
-
Initiate Full Data Export
Once satisfied with the demo results, proceed to initiate the full data export. Cart2Cart will then process all selected data from your osCommerce store into comprehensive CSV files.
-
Download Your Full CSV Export
Upon completion of the full export, you will be able to download an archive containing all your osCommerce store data in CSV format, ready for your chosen application or next platform.

This app performs greatly
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.
