Your Zen Cart to CSV Data Export in 5 Simple Steps
-
Connect Your Zen Cart Store (Source)
Begin by selecting "Zen Cart" as your Source Cart. Provide your Zen Cart store's URL. For connection, you will use the Cart2Cart Bridge method, which involves downloading a bridge file and uploading it to your Zen Cart's root directory via FTP/SFTP to establish a secure link for data extraction.

Choose the specific entities you wish to export from your Zen Cart store. You can select products, customers, orders, categories, and more, ensuring only the data relevant to your needs is extracted.
-
Configure Export Options
Tailor your data export with additional options. These can include migrating images embedded in descriptions, creating product variants from attributes, or preserving specific IDs within your exported CSV file. Note that options like 'Clear Target' or 'Create 301 redirects' are not applicable when exporting to a CSV file.

Run Demo Export (Optional but Recommended)
Perform a free demo export of a limited number of entities. This allows you to review a sample of your Zen Cart data in CSV format, ensuring everything is extracted correctly before committing to the full export.

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.
