Your CSV to X-Cart Migration Journey with Cart2Cart
Migrating your store data from a CSV file to X-Cart is a streamlined process with Cart2Cart. Follow these simple steps to get your new store ready:
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
First, you'll specify 'CSV File' as your source platform in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. You will then be prompted to upload your CSV file(s) containing your store data. Our system will analyze the file structure to prepare for mapping.
-
Connect Your Target (X-Cart)
Next, select 'X-Cart' as your target shopping cart. For X-Cart, which is a self-hosted platform, you will typically need to upload a Connection Bridge to your store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This bridge creates a secure link, allowing Cart2Cart to import data into your new X-Cart store.
-
Select Data Entities & Configure Options
Choose which data entities you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, orders, and more. You can also select from a range of additional migration options to customize your transfer, including preserving IDs, migrating images in descriptions, and creating product variants.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, run a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities to your X-Cart store, giving you the opportunity to review the results and ensure everything is migrated correctly.
-

How long does a CSV to X-Cart migration take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data you are transferring. A demo migration typically takes a few minutes. For a full migration, it can range from a few hours for small stores to several days for very large and complex shops. Cart2Cart's automated process ensures the fastest possible transfer.
Will my X-Cart store experience downtime during the migration?
No, Cart2Cart performs the migration without affecting your live CSV source store. Your current store remains fully operational throughout the process. Once the migration to X-Cart is complete, you can then switch your domain to the new store at your convenience, minimizing any potential downtime for your customers.
What data entities can I migrate from CSV to X-Cart?
You can migrate a comprehensive set of data entities, including Products, Product Categories, Customers, Customer Groups, Orders, Order Statuses, Manufacturers, Coupons, CMS Pages, Product Reviews, Stores, and Taxes. Our wizard allows you to select exactly which entities you want to transfer.
Can I perform a demo migration from CSV to X-Cart?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to your X-Cart store, giving you the opportunity to review the results and ensure everything is migrated correctly before proceeding with a full migration.
What are the benefits of Cart2Cart's Migration Insurance?
Migration Insurance is a protective service designed to safeguard your data from unforeseen issues post-migration. It allows you to re-run your migration and update data (e.g., new products, orders, customers) that appeared in your old store after the initial transfer. This provides a safety net against data discrepancies or changes, ensuring your X-Cart store always has the most current and accurate data.
How do I get support if I encounter issues during my migration?
Cart2Cart provides dedicated support throughout your migration journey. You can reach our technical team via live chat, phone, or by submitting a support ticket. For complex migrations or those requiring special customizations, we offer various Data Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) that include a personal account manager and technical engineers to ensure a qualitative and accurate data transfer.
Can I preserve SEO URLs and product/customer IDs during the migration?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers additional options to preserve crucial data. You can choose to migrate categories and products SEO URLs to maintain your search engine rankings. Additionally, you can preserve original Product IDs, Customer IDs, and Order IDs on your target X-Cart store, ensuring continuity for your internal records and customer experience. Note that preserving IDs often requires clearing existing data on the target store first.
How can I review my demo migration results?
After your demo migration is complete, you'll be directed to the Demo Results Review page. Here, you can see a list of migrated entities, compare data between your source and target stores, and access instructional tips and video guides on how to thoroughly check the transferred data (names, descriptions, images, etc.) to ensure accuracy.

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.
