Volusion to Magento
Your Step-by-Step Volusion to Magento Migration Process
Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is designed to be straightforward and efficient. Follow these key steps to move your data from Volusion to Magento:
-
Step 1: Create Your New Migration
Begin by initiating a new migration project in your Cart2Cart account. This sets up a unique identifier for your transfer and guides you to the initial configuration.
-
Step 2: Connect Your Volusion Source Store
Select Volusion as your Source Cart. For Volusion, the connection method is typically 'File Upload'. You will be guided on how to export your data from Volusion for upload.
-
Step 3: Connect Your Magento Target Store
Choose Magento as your Target Cart. For Magento, you'll generally use the 'Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload)' method. You'll download the bridge files and upload them to your Magento store's root directory via FTP/SFTP to establish a secure connection.
-
Step 4: Select Data Entities for Migration
Choose the specific data entities you wish to transfer from Volusion to Magento, such as products, customers, orders, categories, and more. Cart2Cart provides a clear list of supported entities.
-
Step 5: Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with various additional options. These can include preserving SEO URLs, migrating customer passwords, creating 301 redirects, and more, tailored to ensure a smooth transition and maintain your store's functionality.
-
Step 6: Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, run a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities to your Magento store, enabling you to review the results and ensure everything migrates as expected.
-
Step 7: Launch Full Migration
Once you're satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch your full Volusion to Magento migration. Cart2Cart will handle the complete data transfer, keeping you updated on the progress.

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.
