PrestaShop to osCommerce
Your PrestaShop to osCommerce Migration in 4 Simple Steps
Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is designed for simplicity and efficiency. Follow these steps to get your osCommerce store up and running with all your PrestaShop data.
-
1. Connect Your Source PrestaShop Store
Begin by selecting PrestaShop as your Source Cart. Provide your store's URL. For connection, you can choose to upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your PrestaShop root directory, or use your admin credentials for an automatic bridge upload. This secure bridge facilitates data extraction.
-
2. Connect Your Target osCommerce Store
Next, select osCommerce as your Target Cart and enter its URL. Similar to the source store, you will need to upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your osCommerce root directory. This ensures a secure channel for importing your data.
-
3. Select Data Entities for Migration
Choose which data you want to transfer from PrestaShop to osCommerce. You can select all available entities like products, customers, orders, and more, or pick specific ones. Cart2Cart provides detailed mapping information for each entity to ensure you know exactly what will be migrated.
-
4. Configure Additional Options & Run Migration
Enhance your migration by selecting additional options such as preserving SEO URLs, migrating images from descriptions, or creating 301 redirects. Once configured, you can run a free Demo Migration to see how a limited set of data transfers, or proceed directly to the Full Migration.
-
5. Review Demo Results (Optional but Recommended)
After a Demo Migration, you'll land on the Demo Results Review page. Here, you can check a sample of your migrated data, compare it between your source and target stores, and ensure everything transferred correctly before committing to a full migration.
-
6. Launch Full PrestaShop to osCommerce Migration
Once you're satisfied with the demo results and all settings, proceed to launch your Full Migration. Cart2Cart will transfer all your selected data, providing real-time progress updates until your new osCommerce store is fully populated.

Frequently Asked Questions about PrestaShop to osCommerce Migration
How long does a PrestaShop to osCommerce migration typically take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the amount of data you need to transfer. A free Demo Migration, which transfers a limited number of entities, usually takes only a few minutes. A Full Migration can vary from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for speed and efficiency.
Will my PrestaShop store experience downtime during the migration to osCommerce?
Cart2Cart's migration process is designed to minimize downtime. Your PrestaShop store can remain fully operational during the data transfer. We recommend performing a final data update (delta migration) after your new osCommerce store is live to capture any new data added during the transition, ensuring a seamless switch for your customers.
What types of data can I migrate from PrestaShop to osCommerce?
You can migrate a wide range of essential e-commerce data, including Products, Product Categories, Product Reviews, Customers, Customer Groups, Orders, Order Statuses, Manufacturers, Taxes, and Stores. For a detailed list, please refer to the "What Data Can Be Migrated" section above.
Can I test the migration before performing a full transfer?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities to your osCommerce store (or a Cart2Cart test store) to review the results and ensure everything looks correct before committing to a Full Migration. It's a great way to build confidence in the process.
What if I encounter issues or need assistance during the migration process?
Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support. Our team of experts is available to assist you at every step. You can also opt for our Migration Service Packages for dedicated assistance, including a personal account manager and technical engineers to handle your migration from start to finish.
Is there a way to re-migrate data or update my store after the initial transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers Migration Insurance Plans that include options for re-migrations and data updates. These plans allow you to re-run your migration or transfer new data (delta migration) that appeared in your source store after the initial full migration, ensuring your new osCommerce store is always up-to-date.
How do I connect my PrestaShop and osCommerce stores to Cart2Cart?
For both PrestaShop and osCommerce, which are self-hosted platforms, the primary connection method involves uploading the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory. Alternatively, for PrestaShop, you can use your admin credentials for an automatic bridge upload. Detailed instructions are provided within the migration wizard.

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.
