Your Zen Cart to CSV Migration in Detail
Migrating your Zen Cart data to CSV files with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Here’s how it works:
-
Connect Your Zen Cart Source Store
First, you'll specify Zen Cart as your source platform. Provide your Zen Cart Admin URL and establish a secure connection, typically by uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory. This allows our system to access your data.
-
Prepare for CSV Export
Since CSV is a file format for data export, you won't connect to a 'target store' in the traditional sense. Instead, Cart2Cart will process your Zen Cart data and prepare it for download in CSV format, ready for your specific needs.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Choose precisely which data entities you wish to export from your Zen Cart store. You can select products, customers, orders, categories, and more. This granular control ensures you only migrate the data you need.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Tailor your migration with various additional options. These can include preserving IDs, migrating images within descriptions, or creating product variants from attributes. These options help ensure your exported CSV files contain all the specific details you require.
-
Run Demo Migration & Download CSV Files
Start a free demo migration to see how a limited set of your data is exported. Once the demo is complete, you can review the results and download the generated CSV files directly from the Demo Results Review page. If satisfied, proceed to a full migration to export all your selected data.

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.
