OpenCart Migration

Migrating your store data to or from OpenCart with Cart2Cart is a streamlined process designed to ensure that all your entities, including products, customers, orders, and categories, are transferred securely. To begin the migration, you need to connect your store using one of the following methods:

• Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload): This method involves downloading the Connection Bridge files from the Cart2Cart wizard and uploading the 'bridge2cart' folder to your OpenCart store's root directory using an FTP/SFTP client. This establishes a secure, direct link for data transfer.
• Admin Account Auto Upload: For source store configurations, you can provide your OpenCart Admin URL along with your admin login credentials. Cart2Cart will then use these to securely access your admin panel and automatically upload the necessary connection bridge files for you.
• Cart2Cart Bridge Plugin (ZIP Upload): When OpenCart is your target store, you can download a version-specific ZIP archive from the wizard. You then upload and install this file directly through the OpenCart admin panel's extension installer, similar to a standard plugin.

Once the connection is established, you can select the specific data entities you wish to move, choose from additional options such as clearing target store data or migrating images in descriptions, and launch the migration. Your current store remains 100% active and functional throughout the entire procedure.

With Cart2Cart, you can seamlessly migrate a comprehensive range of data entities to or from your OpenCart store, supporting versions such as 5.2.2 and 6.0.0.
