ShopTab to X-Cart
Your Step-by-Step Migration to X-Cart
-
Upload Your CSV File (Source Store Setup)
Begin by selecting 'CSV File' as your Source Cart within the Cart2Cart migration wizard. You will then upload your prepared CSV data file(s) containing all your essential product, customer, or order information. Our system will validate the file format and headers to ensure readiness for migration.
-
Connect Your X-Cart Store (Target Store Setup)
Next, select 'X-Cart' as your Target Cart. You will need to provide your X-Cart store URL. To establish a secure connection, you'll upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your X-Cart store's root directory. This bridge is crucial for facilitating secure and accurate data transfer.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Carefully choose the specific data entities you wish to migrate from your CSV file to X-Cart. This includes products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You can also review the field mapping to ensure data corresponds correctly between your source CSV and your new X-Cart store.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Customize your migration further by selecting from a range of additional options. These features allow you to preserve specific IDs, migrate SEO URLs, handle images within descriptions, and more, ensuring a tailored transfer process.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This allows you to transfer a limited set of data to your X-Cart store or a Cart2Cart test store, enabling you to review the results and verify data accuracy and integrity firsthand.
-
Launch Full X-Cart Migration
Once you are completely satisfied with the results of your demo migration, you can confidently proceed to launch your Full Migration. Cart2Cart will then transfer all your selected data to your new X-Cart store, completing your platform transition.

How long does a CSV to X-Cart migration take?
The duration of your migration from CSV to X-Cart largely depends on the volume of data you are transferring. A free demo migration typically takes just a few minutes, while a full migration for a large store can take several hours.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
Cart2Cart is designed to facilitate migrations with minimal to zero downtime. The data transfer process runs in the background, allowing your current store to remain operational. For a full migration, you can schedule it during off-peak hours to ensure a smooth transition without interrupting your sales.
What data can I migrate from CSV to X-Cart?
You can migrate a comprehensive range of entities, including Products, Product Categories, Customers, Orders, Manufacturers, Coupons, CMS Pages, Taxes, Customer Groups, Product Reviews, and Order Statuses. Our service ensures that all critical information from your CSV is accurately transferred to X-Cart.
Can I test the migration before committing to a full transfer?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities to a test X-Cart store or a Cart2Cart-provided test store. You can then thoroughly review the results and ensure everything is accurate before proceeding with your full migration.
What if I encounter issues during or after the migration?
Cart2Cart provides robust support options. Our Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) offer dedicated account managers and technical engineers for professional assistance. Additionally, you can opt for Migration Insurance, which includes re-migrations and data updates as a safety net.
Is there a way to reverse the migration or re-migrate data?
While a direct 'rollback' isn't available, our Migration Insurance plans (e.g., '1 remigration + 1 update') allow you to re-run the migration or update data within 14 days after your initial full migration. This feature acts as a crucial safety net for any post-migration adjustments or unforeseen data changes.
How do I connect my X-Cart store for migration?
For X-Cart, you typically connect your target store by uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files. You will download a .zip archive, unpack it, and then upload the 'bridge2cart' folder via FTP/SFTP to your X-Cart store's root directory. This establishes 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.
