Zen Cart to CSV File Migration Process
The process of migrating your Zen Cart store data to a CSV file with Cart2Cart is designed for simplicity and efficiency. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
-
1. Connect Your Zen Cart Source Store
First, specify Zen Cart (version 1.3.7 is supported) as your source platform. You will need to provide your Zen Cart store's URL and establish a connection using the Cart2Cart Bridge. This involves downloading the
connection_bridge.zipfile, unpacking it, and uploading thebridge2cartfolder to your Zen Cart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This secure bridge enables Cart2Cart to read your store's data. -
2. Select CSV File as Your Target
Next, choose "CSV File" as your target platform. Unlike platform-to-platform migrations, this step configures Cart2Cart to prepare your Zen Cart data for export into a downloadable CSV format.
-
3. Choose Entities for Migration
Select the specific data entities you wish to export from your Zen Cart store. You can choose from a comprehensive list including products, customers, orders, categories, and more. This granular control ensures you only export the data relevant to your needs.
-
4. Configure Additional Options
Enhance your data export by selecting additional options. These can include preserving IDs, migrating images embedded in descriptions, or creating product variants from attributes, ensuring the exported CSV file is as rich and accurate as possible.
-
5. Run Demo Migration (Optional)
We highly recommend running a free demo migration. This transfers a limited set of your Zen Cart data to a sample CSV file, allowing you to review the format and content before committing to a full export. You can download and inspect the sample CSV file to ensure everything meets your expectations.
-
6. Review Demo Results & Download CSV
After the demo, you'll be able to review the migrated entities and, for CSV exports, download the sample CSV files. This is your chance to verify the data structure and content before proceeding.
-
7. Start Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed to the full migration. Cart2Cart will export all your selected Zen Cart data into comprehensive CSV files, ready for download and use.

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.
