Your VirtueMart to Volusion Migration in Detail

  1. Connect Your Source Cart: VirtueMart

    The first step is to connect your existing VirtueMart store. You will need to provide your VirtueMart store's URL and utilize the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload) method. This involves downloading a bridge file from Cart2Cart, unpacking it, and uploading the 'bridge2cart' folder to your VirtueMart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This establishes a secure connection for data extraction.

  2. Connect Your Target Cart: Volusion

    Next, specify your new Volusion store. Enter your Volusion store's URL. For Volusion, the connection method typically involves File Download, meaning Cart2Cart will prepare the data for import into your Volusion store. The wizard will guide you through the necessary steps to prepare your Volusion store for the incoming 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.
