Frequently Asked Questions about CSV File to Big Cartel Migration

Will my store experience any downtime during the migration?
Cart2Cart migrations are designed to minimize downtime. Your source data (CSV files) remains fully accessible during the data transfer. We recommend performing a recent data migration (an update) just before switching to your new Big Cartel store to capture any last-minute changes, ensuring virtually no downtime.

Is there an option to re-migrate data or update my store after the initial 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.
