Shopify to Magento
Your Shopify to Magento Migration Process
Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is a straightforward, step-by-step process designed for efficiency and accuracy:
-
Connect Your Shopify Source Store
First, you'll connect your existing Shopify store. Cart2Cart supports connection via API Connection, requiring appropriate credentials, or by installing the dedicated Cart2Cart App directly from the Shopify marketplace. This establishes a secure link for data extraction.
-
Connect Your Magento Target Store
Next, you'll set up your new Magento store. For Magento, the connection is typically established via Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload). You'll download the bridge files, unpack them, and upload the
bridge2cartfolder to your Magento store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for data import. -
Select Data Entities for Migration
Choose precisely which data you want to migrate. Cart2Cart allows you to select various entities like products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You can also review detailed field mapping to understand how your data will be transferred.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with a range of additional options. These include preserving order and customer IDs, migrating SEO URLs, creating 301 redirects, transferring images embedded in descriptions, and more. These options help maintain your store's integrity and customer experience.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full migration, run a free demo. This transfers a limited set of data, allowing you to preview the results on your new Magento store. You can verify data accuracy and functionality, ensuring everything looks perfect.

A small store with a few hundred entities might take minutes, while larger stores with tens of thousands of entities can take several hours. Our free demo migration provides an accurate estimate for your specific store.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
With Cart2Cart, your Shopify store remains fully operational during the migration process. We work in the background, extracting data without affecting your live site. You can continue selling, and once the migration to Magento is complete, you can switch over with minimal to no downtime.

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.
