    Choose BigCommerce as your Target Cart. For BigCommerce, you can connect via API credentials or by installing a Cart2Cart app/module/extension. Follow the on-screen instructions to establish a secure connection, ensuring Cart2Cart has the necessary permissions to import your data.

  4. Select Data Entities for Migration

    On the "Entities Selection" page, choose which types of data you wish to migrate. You can select products, customers, orders, categories, blogs, and more. Review the field mapping to understand how your Squarespace data will translate to BigCommerce.

It displays a detailed mapping of source fields to target fields for a specific entity (e.g., Products), indicating which fields will be migrated and providing additional notes.

  5. Configure Additional Migration Options

Frequently Asked Questions about Squarespace to BigCommerce Migration

How long does a Squarespace to BigCommerce migration take?

The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data you need to transfer. A free demo migration typically takes just a few minutes, allowing you to quickly preview the results. A full migration can vary from a few hours to several days for very large stores, but our automated system works efficiently in the background.

Will my Squarespace store experience downtime during the migration?

Cart2Cart is designed to ensure minimal to no downtime for your live Squarespace store. The migration process runs in the background, allowing your current store to remain fully operational and continue processing orders while data is being transferred to BigCommerce.

What data entities can I migrate from Squarespace to BigCommerce?

You can migrate a wide range of entities, including Products, Product Categories, Customers, Orders, Blogs, Posts, CMS Pages, Coupons, Customer Groups, Manufacturers, Order Statuses, Product Reviews, Stores, and Taxes. Our service also supports the migration of specific fields like product variants, SEO URLs, and customer addresses.

Can I test the migration before moving all my data?

Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration feature. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to your BigCommerce store. You can then review the migrated data on both the frontend and backend of your new store to ensure accuracy and satisfaction before proceeding with the full migration.

What kind of support does Cart2Cart provide during the migration?

Cart2Cart offers comprehensive support, including a dedicated personal account manager and a team of technical engineers for our service packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate). Our support team is available to assist with setup, configuration, troubleshooting, and ensuring a smooth and accurate data transfer.

Can I re-migrate or update my data after the initial full migration?

Yes, with Cart2Cart's Migration Insurance Plan, you can perform re-migrations and data updates. This is particularly useful if new data appears on your source store after the initial transfer or if you need to make adjustments. Depending on your chosen insurance plan, you can get 1, 2, or 3 free re-migrations and updates within a specified period.

How do I connect my Squarespace store to Cart2Cart?

Connecting your Squarespace store is done via an API connection. You will need to provide the appropriate API credentials from your Squarespace admin panel to allow Cart2Cart to securely access and extract your store's 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.
