Your Volusion to PrestaShop Migration Process

Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward, 4-step process:

  1. Connect Your Source Cart (Volusion)

    First, specify Volusion as your current e-commerce platform. For Volusion, the connection method typically involves a File Upload. You will be guided to export your data from Volusion, and then upload these files to Cart2Cart.

  2. Connect Your Target Cart (PrestaShop)

    Next, select PrestaShop as your new store platform. Cart2Cart offers multiple secure ways to connect to your PrestaShop store:

    • Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload): Upload bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your PrestaShop root directory.
    • Platform Admin User Credentials: Provide your PrestaShop admin login and password for automatic bridge upload.
    • Cart2Cart Bridge in ZIP archive: Upload a ZIP archive of the bridge files manually via your PrestaShop admin section.
  3. Select Data Entities & Configure Additional Options

    Choose which data entities you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, and orders. You can also select from a range of additional migration options to customize your transfer, like preserving SEO URLs or migrating customer passwords.

  4. Run Demo Migration & Start Full Migration

    Before committing to a full transfer, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This allows you to see a subset of your data (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) migrated to PrestaShop, so you can verify the results. Once satisfied, you can proceed with the Full Migration to transfer all your chosen data.

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.
