Your Step-by-Step CSV to CSV Migration with Cart2Cart
-
Choose Your Migration Service Package
Begin by selecting a Cart2Cart Data Migration Service Package (Basic, Extended, Premium, or Ultimate) that best suits the complexity and size of your migration project. These packages offer professional assistance, a dedicated account manager, and technical engineers to ensure a smooth and accurate data transfer.
-
Set Up Your Source Store (CSV File)
Select 'CSV File' as your source platform. You will then upload your prepared CSV data files containing your products, customers, orders, and other entities. Cart2Cart's system will validate the file format and headers to ensure readiness for migration.
-
Set Up Your Target Store (CSV File)
Choose 'CSV File' as your target platform. This indicates that the migrated data will be prepared for export into CSV format, ready for import into your new shopping cart. Our system ensures the output CSV files are structured for easy integration.
Note: For CSV to CSV migration, the target store setup primarily involves configuring how the output CSV files should be structured.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Precisely choose which data entities—such as products, categories, customers, and orders—you wish to migrate. You can review detailed field mappings to understand how data will be transferred between your source CSV and the target CSV structure.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with various additional options. These can include features like creating product variants based on options, migrating images from descriptions, or preserving specific IDs, depending on your data and target platform's capabilities.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Execute a free demo migration to transfer a limited set of your data. This allows you to preview the migration results and ensure everything is transferred accurately before committing to a full transfer.
-
Review Demo Migration Results
After the demo, you'll access a review page to check the migrated entities, compare data, and provide feedback. For CSV migrations, you can often download these demo results as files for detailed offline verification.
-
Launch Full Data Migration
Once you are completely satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch the full data migration. Cart2Cart will then transfer all your selected data from your source CSV files to your target CSV output, ready for import into your new platform.
What Data Can You Migrate from CSV File to CSV File?

The exact entities and fields available for migration depend on the structure and completeness of your source CSV files.
How long does a CSV to CSV data migration typically take with Cart2Cart?
The duration of a CSV to CSV migration largely depends on the volume and complexity of your data. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for efficiency, with many migrations completing within a few hours to a day. The wizard steps, such as connecting stores, selecting entities, and configuring options, are typically quick, while the actual data transfer time scales with the number of entities.
Will my online store experience downtime during the CSV migration?
For CSV to CSV migration, the process primarily involves handling files and configuring settings within the Cart2Cart wizard. This means your live store (if you have one) will generally experience minimal to no downtime during the data preparation and transfer to the target CSV output. You maintain full control over when you import the final CSV files into your new live platform.
What types of data can I migrate from one CSV file to another?
Cart2Cart supports a comprehensive range of data entities for CSV migrations, including products (with descriptions, images, variants, attributes, stock), product categories, customers (with addresses and groups), orders (with statuses, fulfillment info, invoices, credit memos, shipments), manufacturers, product reviews, coupons, CMS pages, blogs and posts, and tax configurations. The specific data migrated depends on the content and structure of your source CSV files.
Can I test the CSV migration before performing a full data transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) from your source CSV to a test environment or your target CSV output. You can then thoroughly review the results to ensure data accuracy and integrity before proceeding with the full migration.
What kind of support is available if I encounter issues during my CSV migration?
Cart2Cart provides extensive support. If you opt for one of our Data Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, or Ultimate), you'll receive a dedicated account manager and a team of technical engineers to assist you. Our support team is also available to help with any questions or issues you might face during the migration process, from setup to post-migration checks.
Is there a way to re-run the migration or update data after the initial transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan. This optional service allows you to perform additional re-migrations and data updates within 14 days of your initial full migration. This is invaluable for transferring any new data that appeared in your source CSV after the first migration or for correcting any unforeseen issues.
How does Cart2Cart ensure the security of my data during CSV migration?
Cart2Cart prioritizes data security. When you upload CSV files, they are processed through secure channels. For self-hosted target platforms, connection bridges use unique security tokens. We ensure that your data is handled with strict protocols, and sensitive information like customer passwords (if migrated) is transferred using secure hashing methods where applicable.

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.
