Your CSV File to X-Cart Migration in Detail

Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is designed to be straightforward and efficient. Follow these key steps to move your data from CSV File to X-Cart:

  1. Connect Your Source CSV File

    Begin by uploading your CSV file directly to Cart2Cart. Our intuitive wizard will guide you through the process, allowing you to map your CSV columns to the corresponding fields in X-Cart. This ensures that every piece of your valuable data finds its new home accurately.

  2. Connect Your Target X-Cart Store

    Next, establish a secure connection to your X-Cart store. For self-hosted platforms like X-Cart, this typically involves downloading and uploading a Cart2Cart connection bridge file via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for data transfer.

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 & Map Fields

    Choose the specific data entities you wish to migrate from your CSV file to X-Cart, such as products, customers, and orders. Cart2Cart provides intuitive mapping tools to align your source data fields with X-Cart's structure, ensuring accuracy and completeness.

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.
