Your CSV to Zen Cart Migration in Detail
Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process, broken down into simple, manageable steps:
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
Begin by selecting 'CSV File' as your Source Cart. You will then be prompted to upload your CSV file containing your store data. This initial step securely brings your data into the Cart2Cart system for processing.
-
Connect Your Target (Zen Cart)
Next, choose 'Zen Cart' as your Target Cart. For Zen Cart, the connection method involves uploading a Cart2Cart Bridge file via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory. This bridge creates a secure channel for data transfer to your new Zen Cart store.
-
Select Data Entities
Once both stores are connected, you'll proceed to the 'Entities Selection' page. Here, you can choose exactly which types of data you want to migrate from your CSV file to Zen Cart, such as products, customers, orders, and more. You can also review how fields will be mapped.
-
Configure Additional Options

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.
