Your Step-by-Step Volusion to Shopware Migration Process

Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is designed to be straightforward and efficient. Follow these key steps to move your Volusion store to Shopware:

  1. Connect Your Source Store (Volusion)

    Begin by selecting Volusion as your Source Cart. For Volusion, the connection method is typically a File Upload. You will need to export your data from Volusion and upload the necessary files to our migration wizard. This ensures all your valuable Volusion data is accessible for transfer.

  2. Connect Your Target Store (Shopware)

    Next, choose Shopware as your Target Cart. To establish a secure connection, you will need to upload the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your Shopware store's root directory. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for data import.

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'.

  3. Select Data Entities for Migration

    Once both stores are connected, you'll proceed to the 'Entities Selection' page. Here, you can choose precisely which data types you want to migrate, such as products, customers, orders, and more. You can also review detailed field mappings to understand how your data will be transferred.

Navigation buttons for 'Previous Step', 'Skip Demo', and 'Start Demo Migration' are visible at the bottom.

  5. Run a Free Demo Migration

    Before committing to a full transfer, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This transfers a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to your Shopware store, allowing you to review the results and ensure everything migrates correctly. This step builds confidence and helps identify any potential adjustments needed.

  6. Launch Your Full Volusion to Shopware Migration

    Once you're satisfied with your Demo Migration results, you can proceed to launch the Full Migration. This will transfer all your selected data from Volusion to your new Shopware store. Our system works in the background, ensuring minimal interruption to your live store.

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.
