Your Step-by-Step Migration Journey to Zen Cart
Migrating your store data from a CSV file to Zen Cart with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process, guided by our intuitive wizard. Here’s a detailed look at each step:
-
Initiate Your Migration
Begin by clicking the 'Create New Migration' button on your Cart2Cart dashboard. This action launches a fresh migration wizard, ready for your store details.
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
In the 'Source Store Setup' step, you will specify that your data source is a CSV file. You'll be prompted to upload your prepared CSV file containing your store's data. Our system will then analyze the file to prepare for mapping.
-
Connect Your Target Store (Zen Cart)
Next, select 'Zen Cart' as your target platform. To establish a secure connection, you will need to upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your Zen Cart store's root directory. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for data transfer.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
On the 'Entities Selection' page, choose precisely which data types you wish to migrate from your CSV file to Zen Cart. You can select entities such as products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You can also review how individual fields will be mapped.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with a range of additional options. These features allow you to preserve crucial data like customer IDs, order IDs, or migrate images embedded in descriptions. Select the options that best suit your migration needs.
-
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, allowing you to review the results on your Zen Cart store and ensure everything is transferred correctly.

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.
