Enhance your migration with various additional options. These can include preserving specific IDs, handling SEO URLs, or migrating images embedded in descriptions, ensuring a comprehensive transfer tailored to your needs.

How long does a CSV to CSV migration typically take?
The duration of a CSV to CSV migration depends on the volume of data and the complexity of the mapping required. A demo migration, which transfers a limited set of data, usually completes within minutes. A full migration can take from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of entities and any custom requirements. Our service packages offer dedicated technical assistance to optimize this process.
Will there be any downtime for my store during the CSV migration?
Cart2Cart's migration process is designed to minimize downtime. For CSV migrations, you typically prepare and upload your data files while your source store remains fully operational. The actual import to your target store can be performed with minimal interruption, often during off-peak hours, allowing your business to continue running smoothly.
What data entities can I migrate from CSV to CSV using Cart2Cart?
You can migrate a comprehensive range of entities including Products (with reviews, categories, manufacturers, tax settings), Categories, Customers, Orders (with statuses and fulfillment details), Manufacturers, Coupons, CMS Pages, Blogs, and Posts. Our flexible mapping tools ensure that your data is accurately transferred between CSV structures.
How does the demo migration work for CSV files?
The demo migration allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., a few products, customers, and orders) from your source CSV to a Cart2Cart test store or your target platform. This free trial lets you review the migrated data, verify its accuracy, and ensure all mappings are correct before proceeding with a full, paid migration. You can even specify particular Product IDs for the demo using the 'Enter Demo Product IDs' feature.
What kind of support does Cart2Cart offer for CSV migrations?
Cart2Cart provides professional assistance through various service packages. Depending on your chosen package (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate), you'll receive a dedicated account manager and a team of technical engineers who prepare, configure, and control the quality of your data transfer, including complex CSV mapping and custom requirements.
Can I pause and resume my CSV migration process?
Yes, Cart2Cart's Migration Wizard offers a 'Continue migration' feature. You can pause your migration setup at any point and easily return to the exact step where you left off. This is particularly useful for complex CSV mapping or when you need to gather additional data, preventing any loss of configuration progress.
What if something goes wrong during my CSV migration? Is there a rollback option?
Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan that provides a safety net. This plan allows for one or more free re-migrations and data updates within 14 days of your initial full migration. This is invaluable for addressing unforeseen data integrity issues or new data appearing in your source CSV after the initial transfer, ensuring your data remains accurate and complete.
How is the cost of a CSV to CSV migration calculated?
The migration cost is primarily based on the total number of data entities you choose to migrate (e.g., products, customers, orders). This initial estimate is displayed in the 'Total Entities' block on the migration finish page. Additional options, such as SEO redirects or customer password migration, and selected service packages will add to the final cost. You can also apply discount coupons.

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.
