VirtueMart to Volusion
Your VirtueMart to Volusion Migration Process
Cart2Cart simplifies your store migration into a few straightforward steps. Here's how your data will be transferred:
-
Connect Your VirtueMart Store
Begin by selecting VirtueMart as your Source Cart in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. You'll then provide your VirtueMart store's URL and upload the secure Connection Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory. This establishes a secure link for data extraction.
-
Select Data Entities & Configure Options
Next, choose the specific data entities you wish to migrate from VirtueMart, such as products, categories, customers, and orders. You can also select various additional options to customize your migration, including preserving IDs, migrating SEO URLs, or transferring images embedded in descriptions.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, run a free Demo Migration. Cart2Cart will migrate a limited number of your selected entities to a set of files compatible with Volusion. You can then download these files and perform a test import into your Volusion store to review the results and ensure everything meets your expectations.
-
Initiate Full Migration & Download Data
Once you're completely satisfied with the Demo Migration results, proceed with the Full Migration. Cart2Cart will process all your chosen data from VirtueMart and generate the complete set of data files. You will then download these files, which are perfectly formatted for a seamless import into your Volusion store, completing your migration.
