Frequently Asked Questions about X-Cart to CSV Migration
How long does an X-Cart to CSV data export take?
The duration of your X-Cart to CSV data export depends on the total number of entities (products, customers, orders, etc.) you are migrating. A free demo migration, which exports a limited set of data, usually takes 15-30 minutes. A full migration can take anywhere from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process works efficiently to minimize this time.
Will there be any downtime for my X-Cart store during the data export?
No, your X-Cart store will remain fully operational and accessible to customers throughout the entire data export process. Cart2Cart performs the migration in the background, ensuring zero downtime and no disruption to your sales or customer experience.
What X-Cart data can I export to CSV files?
You can export a comprehensive range of data from your X-Cart store, including CMS Pages, Coupons, Customer Groups, Customers, Manufacturers, Orders, Order Statuses, Product Categories, Product Reviews, Products, Stores, and Taxes. Our service ensures all selected entities are accurately transferred to your CSV files.
Can I test the X-Cart to CSV export before paying?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration. This allows you to export a limited number of entities (e.g., up to 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to CSV files. You can then download and review these files to verify the data structure and accuracy before proceeding with a full, paid migration.
What if I need help during the X-Cart to CSV export process?

When exported to CSV, the image URLs or paths will be included, allowing you to maintain the visual richness and informational integrity of your content if you re-import or use the data elsewhere.
Is there a way to preserve original IDs (Product, Customer, Order) when exporting to CSV?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers additional options to preserve original IDs for Products, Customers, and Orders.

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.
