Your PrestaShop to Volusion Migration in Detail
Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Follow these key steps to get your PrestaShop store successfully moved to Volusion:
-
Connect Your PrestaShop Source Store
Begin by selecting "PrestaShop" as your Source Cart in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. You'll then provide your PrestaShop store's URL and choose a connection method. Options include uploading a Cart2Cart Bridge file via FTP/SFTP, using your Platform Admin User Credentials for automatic bridge upload, or uploading a Cart2Cart Bridge in a ZIP archive through your admin section.
-
Connect Your Volusion Target Store
Next, select "Volusion" as your Target Cart. For Volusion, Cart2Cart uses a File Download connection method. This means our service will prepare your data in a format ready for you to download and then manually import into your Volusion store. You'll provide your Volusion store's URL to proceed.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Once both stores are connected, you'll be presented with a list of data entities available for migration. Choose exactly what you want to transfer, such as products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You can also review detailed field mapping to understand how your data will be structured on Volusion.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with various additional options. These can include preserving SEO URLs, migrating images within descriptions, maintaining original order IDs, or clearing existing data on your Volusion store before the transfer. Select the options that best suit your migration strategy.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full migration, we highly recommend running a free demo. This transfers a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to your Volusion store, allowing you to preview the results and ensure everything migrates as expected. You can review the migrated data on both the frontend and backend of your Volusion store.
-
Launch Your Full PrestaShop to Volusion Migration
Once you're satisfied with the demo results, proceed to the full migration. Cart2Cart will transfer all your selected data from PrestaShop to Volusion. You can monitor the progress in real-time and will be notified upon completion.

Frequently Asked Questions about PrestaShop to Volusion Migration
How long does a PrestaShop to Volusion migration take?
A free demo migration usually takes about 15-30 minutes, transferring a limited set of data. The duration of a full migration depends on the total volume of data (number of entities like products, customers, orders) you need to transfer. Our wizard provides an estimated time and cost after you select your entities and options.
Will my PrestaShop store experience downtime during migration?
No, your current PrestaShop store will remain fully operational throughout the migration process. Cart2Cart works with a copy of your database, ensuring zero impact on your live store. There might be a brief period of downtime on your Volusion target store during the final data import, but this is typically minimal and can be scheduled during off-peak hours.
What data can I migrate from PrestaShop to Volusion?
You can migrate a wide range of entities, including products (with variants, images, descriptions), product categories, customers (with billing/shipping addresses), orders (with products, statuses, prices), manufacturers, coupons, customer groups, orders statuses, product reviews, stores, and taxes. For a detailed list of supported fields, please refer to the "What Data Can You Migrate" section above.
Can I perform a demo migration before the full transfer?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration that transfers a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your Volusion test store. This allows you to preview the migration results, check data accuracy, and ensure everything looks correct before proceeding with the full migration.
What kind of support does Cart2Cart offer?
Cart2Cart provides 24/7 customer support via chat, phone, and ticket system. We also offer various Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) for those who prefer a hands-off approach, providing a dedicated account manager and technical engineers to handle the entire process.
What if I need to re-migrate data or update my store after the initial transfer?
Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan that includes options for re-migrations and data updates within a specified period (e.g., 14 days after full migration). This allows you to transfer any new data added to your PrestaShop store post-initial migration or re-run the migration if needed.
How is the migration cost calculated?
The migration cost is determined by the number of entities you choose to migrate and any additional options you select. Our online Migration Wizard provides a real-time estimate as you configure your migration, allowing you to see the total price before committing.
Can I migrate custom fields or specific customizations?
Yes, Cart2Cart supports the migration of many standard and custom fields. If you have unique customizations or specific data requirements, our Migration Service Packages or a custom migration request can address these needs with the help of our technical engineers.

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.
