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.
