Your Squarespace to OpenCart Migration in Detail
Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process, designed for efficiency and accuracy. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
-
Connect Your Squarespace Source Store
First, you'll specify Squarespace as your Source Cart. Cart2Cart connects to Squarespace via an API Connection, requiring appropriate credentials to securely access your store's data.

Connect Your OpenCart Target Store
Next, select OpenCart as your Target Cart. Cart2Cart offers flexible connection methods for OpenCart, including:
- Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload): You can upload bridge files over FTP/SFTP.
- Platform Admin User Credentials: Provide your OpenCart admin login and password for automatic bridge upload via the admin section.
- Cart2Cart Bridge in ZIP archive: Manually upload the bridge via the OpenCart admin section.
-
Select Data Entities and Additional Options
Once connected, you'll choose which data entities you want to migrate (e.g., products, customers, orders). This step also allows you to select various additional options to customize your migration, such as preserving IDs or migrating SEO URLs.

Before initiating the full migration, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This transfers a limited set of your data, allowing you to review the results on your new OpenCart store and ensure everything is transferred correctly. Once satisfied, you can proceed with the Full Migration.
