Your CSV to X-Cart Migration Process in Detail

Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process, guided by our intuitive wizard. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

Step 1: Upload Your CSV File

Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart. Instead of a direct connection, you will upload your CSV data directly within the "Entities Selection" step. Our system will then process your file to identify the data available for migration.

Step 2: Connect Your X-Cart Target Store

Next, choose "X-Cart" as your Target Cart. For X-Cart, the recommended connection method is via the Cart2Cart Bridge. You will download a connection_bridge.zip file, unpack it, and upload the bridge2cart folder to your X-Cart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This establishes a secure link for data transfer.

Download and unpack connection_bridge.zip' with a 'Download Bridge' button, and '2. Upload 'bridge2cart' folder to your store's root (catalog) Read instructions'. An arrow points to the selected radio button for 'Upload Connection bridge'.

Step 3: Select Data Entities for Migration

Once both stores are connected, you'll proceed to the "Entities Selection" page. Here, you can precisely choose which data types you wish to migrate from your CSV file to X-Cart. This includes products, categories, customers, orders, and more. You can also review detailed field mappings by clicking the information icon next to each entity.

Step 4: Configure Additional Migration Options

Enhance your migration with our range of additional options. These features allow you to preserve critical data like SEO URLs, order IDs, customer IDs, and even migrate images embedded in descriptions. Select the options that best suit your needs to ensure a comprehensive and tailored transfer.

A right sidebar shows a 'Get Assistance' button and an 'Instruction' box, offering contextual information. Navigation buttons for 'Previous Step', 'Skip Demo', and 'Start Demo Migration' are visible at the bottom.

Step 5: Run Demo or Full Migration

Before committing to a full migration, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This transfers a limited number of entities, allowing you to review the results on your X-Cart store and ensure everything is transferred correctly. Once satisfied, you can proceed with the Full Migration to move all your 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.
