Your X-Cart to CSV Migration in Detail
Migrating your X-Cart data to a CSV file with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
-
Step 1: Connect Your X-Cart Source Store
Begin by selecting X-Cart as your Source Cart type in the Cart2Cart migration wizard. You will need to provide your X-Cart store's URL and establish a connection. For X-Cart, the primary connection method involves uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory. This secure bridge allows our service to access your data for export.
-
Step 2: Configure Your CSV File Export
Since your target is a CSV file, you won't be connecting a traditional 'target store'. Instead, Cart2Cart will prepare your data for export into a downloadable CSV format. You'll specify the output preferences for your CSV file, ensuring it meets your requirements for structure and content.
-
Step 3: Select Data Entities for Migration
On the 'Entities Selection' page, choose exactly which data types you wish to migrate from your X-Cart store to the CSV file. You can select from a comprehensive list including products, customers, orders, categories, and more. This granular control ensures only the data you need is exported.
-
Step 4: Choose Additional Export Options
Cart2Cart offers various additional options to refine your data export. Depending on your needs, you might select options like migrating images embedded in descriptions, creating product variants from attributes, or preserving specific IDs. These options help tailor the CSV output to your exact specifications.
-
Step 5: Run Demo Migration & Full Export
We highly recommend running a free Demo Migration first. This transfers a limited set of your X-Cart data to a CSV file, allowing you to review the format and content before committing to a full export. Once satisfied, proceed with the Full Migration to export all your selected X-Cart data into a comprehensive CSV file, ready for download.

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.
