Your Step-by-Step CSV to CSV Migration Journey with Cart2Cart
Cart2Cart simplifies the intricate process of migrating your store data. Our expert team and intuitive wizard guide you through each stage, ensuring a smooth and accurate transfer from your source CSV to your target CSV format.
-
Choose Your Migration Service Package
Begin by selecting a Cart2Cart Data Migration Service Package that best suits your project's scope and data volume. Our packages, ranging from Basic to Ultimate, provide professional assistance, including a dedicated account manager and technical engineers, to ensure a qualitative and accurate data transfer.
-
Connect Your Source CSV File
In the 'Source Store Info' step, you will specify 'CSV File' as your source platform. This involves uploading your CSV file(s) containing your store's data. Our system will then analyze the file structure to prepare for the data extraction and mapping process.
Note: While the screenshot illustrates a platform connection, for CSV migration, this step focuses on securely uploading your CSV data files to Cart2Cart.
-
Configure Your Target CSV File
Next, you'll define the requirements for your target CSV file. This includes specifying the desired output structure and fields, ensuring the exported CSV is perfectly formatted for import into your new e-commerce system. Our team will assist in configuring the export to match your target platform's exact specifications.
Note: Similar to the source, this step focuses on configuring the output CSV structure rather than direct platform connection.
-
Select Entities and Map Fields
This crucial step allows you to precisely select which data entities (e.g., products, customers, orders) you wish to migrate. You'll then map the fields from your source CSV to the corresponding fields in your target CSV format. This ensures that every piece of data finds its correct place in the new structure.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with a range of additional options. These can include preserving specific IDs, handling SEO URLs, migrating images embedded in descriptions, and more. Select the options that best fit your data transformation needs.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, run a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited set of data to a Cart2Cart test store or directly to your configured target CSV structure for review. It's an excellent way to verify accuracy and ensure everything is set up correctly.
-
Review Demo Results
Once the demo is complete, thoroughly review the migrated entities. Check product details, customer information, and order data to confirm accuracy. You can also download the demo results as files for offline verification, especially useful for file-based imports.
-
Launch Your Full Migration
Satisfied with the demo? Proceed to launch your full data migration. Cart2Cart will handle the complete transfer of all your selected data, providing real-time progress updates and ensuring a comprehensive and accurate transition to your new CSV-compatible system.
Data You Can Migrate from CSV to CSV
Cart2Cart supports the migration of a wide array of entities from your source CSV file(s) to your target CSV format, ensuring a comprehensive data transfer for your new e-commerce platform. The specific entities and fields depend on the structure of your source CSV and the requirements of your target system.
- Products: Names, descriptions, SKUs, prices, images, variants, attributes, manufacturers, product reviews, and more.
- Product Categories: Names, descriptions, images, and hierarchical structure.
- Customers: Names, email addresses, billing and shipping addresses, customer groups, and (optionally) passwords.
- Orders: Order IDs, statuses, fulfillment statuses, products purchased, prices, customer details, and (optionally) invoices, credit memos, and shipments.

- Coupons: Codes, discounts, usage limits.
- CMS Pages: Content, titles, URLs.
- Blogs & Posts: Titles, content, authors, comments.

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 and the complexity of the mapping required. A free demo migration typically takes a few minutes. Full migrations can range from a few hours to several days for very large data sets. Our service packages offer dedicated technical assistance to expedite the process.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
Cart2Cart migrations are designed to minimize downtime. Your current store (or the system you're exporting from) remains fully operational during the data processing. Any downtime would typically occur during the import of the final CSV into your new live store, which can be scheduled during off-peak hours.
What data can I migrate from my source CSV to the target CSV?
You can migrate a wide range of entities, including products, product categories, customers, orders, manufacturers, coupons, CMS pages, blogs & posts, and more. Our flexible mapping tools allow you to align fields from your source CSV to the specific requirements of your target CSV format.
Can I test the migration before committing to a full transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) from your source CSV to a Cart2Cart test store or generate a sample target CSV for review. You can then verify the results to ensure accuracy and satisfaction before proceeding with a full migration.
What kind of support does Cart2Cart offer for CSV migrations?
Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support, especially with our Data Migration Service Packages. You'll get a dedicated account manager and a team of technical engineers to assist with CSV file upload, mapping setup, data transformation, troubleshooting, and quality control, ensuring a smooth and accurate data transfer.
What if something goes wrong or I need to re-migrate data?
Cart2Cart offers Migration Insurance Plans that include free re-migrations and data updates within a specified period (e.g., 14 days). This provides a safety net, allowing you to re-run the migration or update new data if unforeseen issues arise or new data appears in your source CSV after the initial transfer.
Is it possible to preserve specific IDs (e.g., order IDs, customer IDs) during the CSV migration?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers additional options to preserve original order IDs and customer IDs in your target CSV output. This ensures continuity in your record-keeping and customer relationships. Note that preserving IDs often requires ensuring a clean slate on the target system where the CSV will be imported.

I've been through several migrations using this service and I can tell nothing but best. The whole process and service are on point. The team is always there to help you. I like the fact that there are several options to migrate from one platform to another. There is no better service than this for sure.

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.
