Your CSV to CSV Migration Process with Cart2Cart
Cart2Cart simplifies your data transfer with a clear, guided process. Here’s how your CSV to CSV migration will unfold:
-
Choose Your Service Package (Optional)
Begin by selecting a service package that aligns with your migration needs. Options like Basic, Extended, Premium, and Ultimate offer varying levels of dedicated support and customization for complex projects or large data volumes.
-
Connect Your Source Store (CSV File)
Specify 'CSV File' as your source platform. You will then upload your prepared CSV data files containing your products, customers, orders, and other entities. Our system will analyze these files to prepare for mapping.
-
Connect Your Target Store (CSV File)
Select 'CSV File' as your target platform. This step involves preparing your new store to receive the data, potentially by downloading a compatible CSV import template from your target platform to ensure seamless data alignment, and then preparing your target CSVs for import.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Choose precisely which data entities you wish to transfer, such as products, categories, customers, and orders. You can customize your selection to ensure only relevant information is migrated.
-
Configure Data Mapping and Additional Options
Map your source CSV fields to the corresponding fields in your target store's structure. This is crucial for ensuring data accuracy. You can also select additional migration options like preserving order IDs or migrating images from descriptions, if applicable to your target platform's CSV import capabilities.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Execute a demo migration to a Cart2Cart test store or your actual target store. This allows you to review a limited set of migrated data (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) and verify its accuracy before committing to a full transfer.
-
Initiate Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch your full data migration. Cart2Cart will transfer all selected data entities, ensuring a complete and accurate move to your new e-commerce platform.

How long does a CSV to CSV migration take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data you are transferring. A demo migration, which moves a limited set of entities, typically completes within minutes. A full migration can take anywhere from a few hours to several days for very large stores, but our service is designed for efficiency.
Will there be any downtime during the migration?
Cart2Cart aims for minimal to zero downtime. The primary work involves preparing your CSV files and configuring the migration in our wizard. The actual data transfer occurs in the background. You can continue operating your source store during most of the process, and only a brief period might be needed for final synchronization or DNS changes when switching to your new store.
What data entities can I migrate from CSV to CSV?
You can migrate a comprehensive range of data, including Products (with variants, categories, attributes, reviews), Customers (with groups), Orders (with statuses, fulfillment statuses, invoices, credit memos, shipments), Manufacturers, Coupons, CMS Pages, Blogs, and Posts. Our mapping tools help ensure all relevant data from your source CSV is correctly transferred.
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 (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to a Cart2Cart test store or your actual target store. You can then review the migrated data on both the frontend and backend to ensure accuracy and build confidence before proceeding with the full migration.
What kind of support is available for my migration?
Cart2Cart provides various levels of support. Depending on your chosen service package (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate), you can benefit from a dedicated personal account manager, technical engineers, and comprehensive assistance for complex migrations or special customizations. Our team ensures a qualitative and accurate data transfer.
Is there a way to re-migrate data or update my store after the initial migration?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan. Options like "1 remigration(s) + 1 update(s)" allow you to re-run your migration or transfer new data that appeared in your old store after the initial transfer, typically within 14 days. This provides a crucial safety net for data integrity and ongoing updates.
How is the cost of a CSV to CSV migration calculated?
The migration cost is primarily determined by the total number of data entities you wish to migrate. Our wizard provides a preliminary estimate based on your selected entities. Additional options and chosen service packages will also influence the final price. You can apply discount coupons at the final step of the wizard.

I've been through several migrations using this service and I can tell nothing but best. The whole process and service are on point. The team is always there to help you. I like the fact that there are several options to migrate from one platform to another. There is no better service than this for sure.

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.
