Your OpenCart to Volusion Migration in Detail

Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process, broken down into simple, manageable steps:

  1. Connect Your Source Cart (OpenCart)

    • Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload): Upload bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory.

Due to Volusion's platform structure, Cart2Cart will prepare your data in a Volusion-compatible format, which you will then download and import into your new Volusion store. This ensures all data is correctly structured for Volusion's import mechanisms.

  3. Select Data Entities & Additional Options

    Choose the specific data entities you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, and orders. Cart2Cart provides a detailed mapping of fields to ensure accuracy.

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.
