Squarespace to osCommerce
Your Squarespace to osCommerce Migration Process
Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for maximum convenience and accuracy. Follow these simple steps to transfer your data:
-
Set Up Source Cart: Squarespace
Begin by selecting Squarespace as your Source Cart. Provide the necessary API credentials to allow Cart2Cart to securely access your store's data. Our system will guide you through the connection process.
-
Set Up Target Cart: osCommerce
Next, choose osCommerce as your Target Cart. You will need to upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files to your osCommerce store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This bridge facilitates secure data import into your new store.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Once both stores are connected, you'll be presented with a list of data entities available for transfer. Select the items you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, orders, and categories. You can also review how specific fields will be mapped between Squarespace and osCommerce.
-
Configure Additional Options & Mappings
Enhance your migration by selecting additional options like preserving IDs, migrating images from descriptions, or clearing target store data. You can also set up mappings for customer groups and order statuses to ensure consistency.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
We highly recommend running a free demo migration first. This transfers a limited number of entities, allowing you to preview the results on your osCommerce store and verify data accuracy before committing to a full transfer.
-
Start Full Migration
Once you're satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch your full Squarespace to osCommerce migration. Our automated service will handle the complete data transfer, keeping you updated on the progress until your new store is ready.

How long does a Squarespace to osCommerce migration take?
The duration of your Squarespace to osCommerce migration depends on the volume of data you are transferring and the complexity of your store. A demo migration usually takes a few minutes to an hour. A full migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for efficiency, and you can monitor progress in real-time.
Will my Squarespace store be offline during the migration?
No, your Squarespace store will remain fully operational throughout the migration process. Cart2Cart performs the data transfer in the background, ensuring zero downtime for your customers. You can continue to sell and manage your store without interruption until you are ready to switch to your new osCommerce store.
What data can I migrate from Squarespace to osCommerce?
You can migrate essential e-commerce entities including Product Categories, Products, Customers, Customer Groups, Orders, Orders Status, and Stores.

Please refer to the "What Data Can Be Migrated" section above for a detailed list.
Can I perform a demo migration from Squarespace to osCommerce?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart highly recommends running a free demo migration before your full transfer.

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.
