Your CSV File to CSV File Migration Process with Cart2Cart
Migrating your store data via CSV files with Cart2Cart involves a clear, step-by-step process designed for accuracy and control:
-
1. Prepare & Upload Source CSV File
Begin by exporting your data from Yahoo Store into a CSV file. Once you have your source CSV, navigate to the Cart2Cart wizard. Here, you will upload your CSV file, which will serve as the source for your migration. Our system will then analyze the file to identify the entities and fields available for transfer.
-
2. Select Entities for Migration
After your CSV is uploaded, Cart2Cart will present a list of detectable data entities (e.g., products, customers, orders). You can precisely select which of these entities you wish to include in your migration. This ensures only relevant data is processed.
-
3. Map Your Data Fields
This crucial step allows you to map the fields from your source CSV to the desired fields for your target CSV output. Cart2Cart provides an intuitive interface where you can match your existing data columns (e.g., 'product_name' from Yahoo Store CSV) to the corresponding fields required by ShopTab's CSV import format. This ensures data is correctly structured for your new platform.
-
4. Configure Additional Options (Optional)
Enhance your migration with various additional options. These can include data transformations, such as adjusting product quantities, combining short and full descriptions, or preserving specific IDs. These options help tailor the output CSV to your exact needs for ShopTab.
-
5. Run Demo Migration & Review Results
Before committing to a full data transfer, run a free demo migration. Cart2Cart will process a limited set of your data and generate a sample output CSV. You can then download and review this sample to verify the accuracy of the migration and mapping. This step builds confidence in the process.
-
6. Initiate Full Migration & Download Final CSV
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed with the full migration. Cart2Cart will process all your selected data, apply all mappings and additional options, and generate a comprehensive CSV file formatted for ShopTab. You can then download this final CSV and import it into your new ShopTab store.

Frequently Asked Questions about CSV File to CSV File Migration
How long does a CSV File to CSV File migration take?
The duration of your CSV migration depends on the volume of data in your source CSV file and the complexity of your mapping and additional options. A demo migration usually takes minutes, while a full migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large datasets.
Will there be downtime during the CSV migration?
For CSV File to CSV File migration, Cart2Cart processes your data offline. There is no direct connection to your live Yahoo Store or ShopTab during the processing phase, so your current store operations will not be affected. Downtime would only occur during the final import of the generated CSV into your live ShopTab store, which you control.
What data can I migrate from CSV File to CSV File?
You can migrate a wide range of entities including products, categories, customers, orders, manufacturers, product reviews, coupons, CMS pages, and blog posts, provided this data is present in your source CSV file and can be mapped to your target ShopTab CSV format.
Can I perform a demo migration for CSV files?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration for CSV files. This allows you to process a limited set of your data, generate a sample output CSV, and review the results to ensure everything is mapped and transferred correctly before committing to a full migration.
What kind of support is available for CSV migrations?
Cart2Cart offers various support packages, including a dedicated personal account manager and a team of technical engineers, especially for complex migrations or those requiring special customizations. Our support team is available to assist with mapping, troubleshooting, and ensuring a successful data transfer.
What if I need to re-migrate or update data after the initial migration?
Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan that includes options for re-migrations and data updates. This provides a safety net for unforeseen data issues or if new data appears in your source CSV after the initial transfer, allowing you to re-run the process with ease.
How is the cost of a CSV migration calculated?
The cost is primarily based on the total number of entities (products, customers, orders, etc.) you choose to migrate from your CSV file. Additional options and services selected during the wizard setup will also contribute to the final price. You will see an estimated cost before finalizing your migration.

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.
