Your OpenCart to VirtueMart Migration in Detail

Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is a straightforward, step-by-step process. Here’s how it works:

  1. Connect Your Source OpenCart Store

    First, specify OpenCart as your Source Cart. You'll need to provide your OpenCart Admin URL. For connection, you can either:

    • Provide Store Admin User Credentials: Enter your OpenCart Admin Login and Admin Password to automatically upload the connection bridge.
    • Upload Cart2Cart Bridge: Download the Cart2Cart bridge files, unpack them, and upload the bridge2cart folder to your OpenCart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP.

  2. Connect Your Target VirtueMart Store

    Next, select VirtueMart as your Target Cart and enter its URL. For VirtueMart, the connection is established by uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files. You'll download the connection_bridge.zip, unpack it, and upload the bridge2cart folder to your VirtueMart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP.

  3. Select Data Entities & Configure Options

    Choose which data entities you want to migrate from OpenCart to VirtueMart, such as products, customers, and orders. You can also select additional migration options to customize your transfer, like migrating images in descriptions or preserving IDs.

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.
