Your WooCommerce to OpenCart Migration Process

Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is a streamlined, step-by-step process designed for clarity and control. Here's how it works:

  1. Connect Your Source WooCommerce Store

    Begin by specifying your current WooCommerce store. You'll need to provide its URL and choose a connection method. Cart2Cart supports various secure options, including API credentials or an auto-upload bridge via admin access.

    Connect WooCommerce via API Access Credentials

    Alternatively, connect via Admin Access for Auto Upload:

  2. Connect Your Target OpenCart Store

    Next, set up your new OpenCart store. Provide its URL and establish a connection. For OpenCart, the primary connection methods involve uploading a Cart2Cart Bridge file via FTP/SFTP or using admin credentials for an automatic bridge upload.

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.
