Your CSV to CSV Migration Process in Detail
Migrating your store data via CSV files with Cart2Cart involves a clear, guided process, often supported by our expert team through service packages. Here’s how it works:
-
Step 1: Select Your Service Package
Begin by choosing a Cart2Cart Data Migration Service Package (Basic, Extended, Premium, or Ultimate). These packages provide dedicated assistance from our technical engineers and a personal account manager to oversee your complex CSV migration, ensuring accuracy and saving you time.
-
Step 2: Upload Your Source CSV Files
You'll specify 'CSV File' as your source platform. Then, you will upload your exported data from your current store (e.g., 3DCart) in CSV format. Our system is equipped to process these files, and our team will ensure they are correctly parsed for the next steps.
-
Step 3: Define Your Target CSV Structure (for ShopSite)
Next, you'll indicate 'CSV File' as your target platform. Our team will then work to understand the specific CSV import requirements of your new ShopSite store, preparing the migration to output data in a perfectly compatible format.
-
Step 4: Map Your Data Entities and Fields
This crucial step involves mapping fields from your source CSV files to their corresponding fields in the target ShopSite CSV structure. This ensures that all your product details, customer information, and order data align perfectly with your new store's requirements. Our team can assist with complex custom mappings.
-
Step 5: Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration by selecting additional options. These can include migrating images embedded in descriptions, adjusting product quantities, preserving original IDs, and more, all tailored to how your data will be processed and formatted in the target CSV.
-
Step 6: Run a Demo Migration
Perform a demo migration with a subset of your CSV data. This allows you to review how your data will appear in the target ShopSite CSV format and verify the accuracy of the transfer before committing to a full migration.
-
Step 7: Execute Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed with the full migration. Cart2Cart will process all your CSV data, apply all mappings and options, and generate the complete set of ShopSite-ready CSV files for you to import into your new store.
Data Entities You Can Migrate from CSV to CSV
Cart2Cart supports the migration of a comprehensive range of data entities when moving from a source CSV file to a target CSV file, ensuring all critical information from your 3DCart store is prepared for ShopSite. The exact entities depend on the data present in your source CSV and the capabilities of the target platform, but commonly include:
- Products: Names, descriptions (short & full), SKUs, prices, images, quantity, weight, variants, options, attributes.
- Product Categories: Names, descriptions, images, SEO URLs.
- Manufacturers: Names, descriptions, images.
- Product Reviews: Ratings, comments, author information.
- Customers: Names, email addresses, billing/shipping addresses, customer groups, passwords.
- Orders: Order IDs, statuses, fulfillment statuses, products ordered, prices, customer details, invoices, credit memos, shipments.
- Coupons: Codes, discounts, usage limits.
- CMS Pages: Content, titles, SEO data.
- Blogs: Titles, content, authors, comments.
- Posts: Titles, content, authors, comments.
Our flexible mapping tools ensure that even custom fields within your CSVs can be aligned for accurate transfer.
