Your CSV to CSV Migration Process in Detail
Cart2Cart simplifies the process of migrating your e-commerce data between CSV files into a few straightforward steps:
-
Start a New Migration
Begin by initiating a new migration project within your Cart2Cart account. This creates a dedicated space for your data transfer.
-
Specify Source & Target (CSV File)
Select 'CSV File' as both your Source and Target platforms. You will then be guided to upload your source CSV file(s) containing your store data. For the target, Cart2Cart will prepare for the output of your migrated data into new CSV files, ready for import into your desired platform.
-
Select Data Entities
Choose precisely which data entities you wish to migrate. This includes products, categories, customers, orders, and more. You can review detailed field mappings to understand how your source CSV data will translate to the target CSV structure.
-
Configure Additional Options
Enhance your migration with various additional options, such as migrating images embedded in descriptions, preserving IDs, or managing product quantities. These options provide granular control over your data transfer.
-
Run Free Demo Migration
Execute a free demo migration to transfer a limited set of your data. This allows you to preview the results and ensure everything is transferred correctly before committing to a full migration.
-
Review Demo Results
After the demo, review the migrated entities on the dedicated results page. Verify data accuracy and completeness, and make any necessary adjustments to your migration settings.
-

Frequently Asked Questions about CSV to CSV Migration
How long does a CSV to CSV migration take?
The duration of a CSV to CSV migration depends on the volume of data you are transferring. A demo migration typically takes a few minutes, while a full migration can range from a few minutes to several hours for very large datasets. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for efficiency.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
No, Cart2Cart performs the migration without affecting your live source store. Your current store remains fully operational throughout the process, ensuring zero downtime and continuous sales. The target CSV files are generated independently.
What data can I migrate from one CSV file to another?
You can migrate a comprehensive range of e-commerce entities, including products, product categories, manufacturers, product reviews, customers, orders, coupons, CMS pages, blogs, posts, tax configurations, invoices, credit memos, and shipments. Our flexible system allows you to select specific entities for transfer.
Can I perform a demo migration before the full transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to a test environment or generate a sample target CSV. You can then review the results to ensure data accuracy and mapping before proceeding with the full migration.
What kind of support does Cart2Cart offer for CSV migrations?
Cart2Cart provides various support options, including a detailed knowledge base, live chat, and email support. For complex migrations or those requiring special customizations, our Data Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) offer a dedicated account manager and a team of technical engineers to ensure a smooth and accurate transfer.
Is there a way to undo or re-run the migration if something goes wrong?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan that includes options for re-migrations and data updates. This acts as a safety net, allowing you to re-run your migration or update data within a specified period (e.g., 14 days) after the initial full migration, ensuring data integrity and flexibility.
How is the cost of a CSV to CSV migration calculated?
The cost of your migration is primarily based on the total number of data entities you choose to transfer. Additional options and services, such as migration insurance or advanced customizations, will also contribute to the final price. You will receive a clear cost estimate before finalizing your migration.
Do I need technical skills to perform a CSV to CSV migration?
No, Cart2Cart is designed to be user-friendly. Our intuitive wizard guides you through each step, and for file-based migrations like CSV, the process mainly involves uploading your source file and configuring mappings.

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.
