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.

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.
