Volusion to WooCommerce
Your Volusion to WooCommerce Migration in 4 Simple Steps
Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is designed to be straightforward and efficient. Here’s a quick overview of the process:
-
Connect Your Volusion Source Store
Begin by selecting Volusion as your Source Cart. You will need to provide your store's URL. For Volusion, the connection method typically involves a File Upload, where you export your data and upload it to Cart2Cart.
-
Connect Your WooCommerce Target Store
Next, choose WooCommerce as your Target Cart and enter its URL. Cart2Cart offers multiple secure connection methods for WooCommerce, including API access, automatic bridge upload via admin credentials, or manual bridge upload via FTP/SFTP.
For API access, you'll generate a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret from your WordPress admin panel (WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API) with 'Read/Write' permissions.
Alternatively, you can provide Admin Access for Auto Upload, where Cart2Cart uses your WordPress admin login and password to automatically install the connection bridge.
-
Select Data Entities & Configure Additional Options
Choose the specific data entities you wish to migrate, such as Products, Customers, Orders, and more. Cart2Cart provides a clear interface to select these items.
Enhance your migration with various additional options, like preserving order IDs, migrating customer passwords, creating 301 redirects for SEO, or migrating images embedded in descriptions. These options ensure a comprehensive and tailored transfer.
-
Run Demo & Full Migration
Before committing to a full migration, run a free demo migration to transfer a limited set of data. This allows you to review the results on your new WooCommerce store and ensure everything is transferred correctly.
Once satisfied with the demo, proceed with the full migration to transfer all your selected data from Volusion to WooCommerce.

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.
