How Migration Works
Migrating your store data to or from X-Cart with Cart2Cart is a fully automated process designed to ensure the secure transfer of your entities, including products, customers, orders, and reviews. To initiate the migration, you need to connect your store using the following method:
- Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload): This method facilitates a secure and direct data link between your self-hosted X-Cart store and the Cart2Cart migration wizard. It involves downloading the connection bridge files, unpacking the archive, and uploading the bridge2cart folder to your store's root directory via an FTP/SFTP client. This enables the wizard to access your database for a smooth data exchange.
Once the connection is established, you can select the specific data entities you wish to move, choose from additional options such as preserving order IDs or migrating images in descriptions, and launch the migration. Your current store remains 100% active and functional throughout the entire procedure.
