Your Step-by-Step Migration to Big Cartel
Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process. Follow these key steps to move your CSV data to Big Cartel:
-
Connect Your Source Cart (CSV File)
Begin by selecting 'CSV File' as your Source Cart type in the Cart2Cart migration wizard. You will then be prompted to upload your CSV data files containing your products, customers, orders, and other entities. Our system will process these files to prepare your data for transfer.
-
Connect Your Target Cart (Big Cartel)
Next, choose 'Big Cartel' as your Target Cart. You will need to provide the necessary API credentials to allow Cart2Cart to securely connect and import data into your new Big Cartel store. This ensures a direct and efficient data transfer.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
On the 'Entities Selection' page, choose exactly which data types you want to migrate from your CSV files to Big Cartel. This includes products, categories, customers, orders, and more. You can also review how specific fields will be mapped between your source data and Big Cartel.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with a range of additional options. These features allow you to customize the transfer, such as preserving order IDs, migrating images from descriptions, or adjusting product quantities. Select the options that best fit your needs for a tailored migration.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, perform a free Demo Migration. This allows you to move a limited set of your data to Big Cartel, giving you the opportunity to review the results and ensure everything has migrated correctly. This step builds confidence in the process.
-
Launch Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch your Full Migration. Cart2Cart will then transfer all your selected data from your CSV files to your Big Cartel store, providing real-time progress updates. You can monitor the transfer and track the status of each entity.

Frequently Asked Questions about CSV to Big Cartel Migration
How long does a CSV to Big Cartel migration take?
The duration of your migration depends on the volume of data you are transferring. A free demo migration typically takes minutes. A full migration can range from a few hours for smaller stores to several days for very large or complex projects. Cart2Cart is optimized for speed and efficiency.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
Cart2Cart is designed to facilitate migrations with minimal to no downtime. Your source store remains fully operational during the data transfer, allowing you to continue selling without interruption. We recommend performing a final data update after your new store is live to capture any new data.
What data can I migrate from CSV to Big Cartel?
You can migrate a wide range of entities, including Products, Product Categories, Customers, Customer Groups, Orders, Order Statuses, Manufacturers, Stores, and Taxes. Please refer to the 'Data You Can Migrate' section above for a detailed list.
Can I test the migration before moving all my data?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration feature. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities to a test Big Cartel store (or your actual target store) to verify the data accuracy and overall migration process before committing to a full migration.
What if I need help during the migration process?
Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support. You can access our detailed knowledge base, video tutorials, and dedicated customer support team. For complex migrations or those requiring special customizations, we offer various Data Migration Service Packages with a personal account manager and technical engineers.
Is there a way to undo the migration or re-migrate data?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan. This plan provides the flexibility for one or more full re-migrations and data updates within a specified period (e.g., 14 days after the initial full migration), allowing you to address any unforeseen issues or transfer new data added to your source store.
How do I connect my Big Cartel store for migration?
Connecting your Big Cartel store involves providing API access credentials. You will typically generate these keys within your Big Cartel administrative panel and then input them into the Cart2Cart migration wizard to establish a secure connection for data transfer.

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.
