Your CSV to WooCommerce Migration in Detail
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart Type in the Cart2Cart migration wizard. You will then upload your prepared CSV files containing your store's data. Cart2Cart supports various entities via file upload, ensuring comprehensive data transfer. The system will validate your file format and check for mandatory column headers to ensure a smooth process.
-
Connect Your Target (WooCommerce)
Next, choose "WooCommerce" as your Target Cart Type. Provide your WooCommerce store's URL. For connection, Cart2Cart offers several secure and convenient options:
- Install Add-on from Marketplace: Download and install the dedicated Cart2Cart plugin directly from your WordPress admin panel. This is a straightforward, guided process.
- Provide API Access Credentials: Generate a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret from your WooCommerce REST API settings and paste them into the wizard.
- Provide Store Admin User Credentials: Enter your WordPress Admin URL, login, and password, allowing Cart2Cart to automatically upload the necessary connection bridge.
- Upload Connection Bridge (FTP Upload): Download the
connection_bridge.zip, unpack it, and upload thebridge2cartfolder to your store's root directory via FTP/SFTP.

Select Data Entities for Migration
Cart2Cart allows you to precisely choose which data entities you want to migrate from your CSV files to WooCommerce. This includes products, categories, customers, orders, and more. You can review detailed field mappings to understand exactly how your data will be transferred and ensure data integrity.

Configure Additional Options & Mappings
Enhance your migration with powerful additional options designed to preserve crucial store elements. This step allows you to select features like preserving SEO URLs, migrating images embedded in descriptions, or creating 301 redirects. You can also map essential data such as customer groups and order statuses to ensure consistency in your new WooCommerce store.

Run Demo Migration & Full Migration

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.
