Magento to Magento
Your Magento to Magento Migration Process
Migrating your Magento store with Cart2Cart is a streamlined process designed for accuracy and ease. Follow these simple steps to transfer your data:
-
Connect Your Source Magento Store
Begin by selecting "Magento" as your Source Cart and providing your store's URL. You can connect via API (requiring appropriate credentials) or by uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files over FTP/SFTP to establish a secure link to your existing Magento store.
-
Connect Your Target Magento Store
Next, select "Magento" as your Target Cart and provide the URL for your new Magento store. For the target store, the primary connection method is typically uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to its root directory. This ensures our service can securely import your data.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
With both stores connected, you'll choose precisely which data entities you want to migrate, such as Products, Customers, Orders, Product Categories, and more. Our wizard provides a clear overview of available entities and their dependencies.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Tailor your migration further with a range of additional options. These powerful features allow you to preserve critical data such as SEO URLs, customer passwords, and order IDs, as well as create 301 redirects to maintain your search engine rankings and user experience.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, we highly recommend running a free demo migration. This transfers a limited set of your data to the target store, allowing you to review the results, check data accuracy, and ensure everything meets your expectations.
-
Launch Your Full Magento to Magento Migration
Once you're completely satisfied with your demo results, proceed to launch the full data migration. Cart2Cart will then transfer all your selected data to your new Magento store, providing real-time progress updates until completion.

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.
