Frequently Asked Questions about CSV to Volusion Migration
How long does a migration from CSV to Volusion take?
The duration of your migration depends on the volume of data and the complexity of your CSV file. A free Demo Migration, transferring a limited number of entities, typically takes a few minutes. A Full Migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for maximum efficiency.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
Cart2Cart aims for zero downtime for your current store during the migration process. Your source CSV data is extracted without affecting your live store's operations. After the migration, you will need to import the generated files into your Volusion store, which may involve a brief period of downtime depending on your Volusion import process. We recommend performing this during off-peak hours.
What data can I migrate from CSV to Volusion?
You can migrate a wide range of entities, including Coupons, Customer Groups, Customers, Gift cards, Manufacturers, Orders, Orders Status, Product Categories, Products, Reviews, Stores, and Taxes. Our wizard allows you to select precisely which data types to transfer.
Can I test the migration before committing to a full transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) from your CSV to Volusion. You can then download the generated files and test the import into your Volusion store to verify the migration quality and accuracy before proceeding with a full migration.
What if I need help during the migration process?
Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support options. You can utilize our self-service wizard, consult our detailed knowledge base, or opt for one of our Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) for dedicated assistance from an account manager and technical engineers, especially for complex migrations or custom requirements.
Is there a way to re-migrate or update data after the initial transfer?

For example, the '1 remigration(s) + 1 update(s)' option allows you to re-run your migration or update new data that appeared in your source store after the initial transfer, typically within a 14-day window.
How do I connect my CSV file for migration?
To connect your CSV file, you will select 'CSV File' as your source platform in the Cart2Cart wizard. You will then be prompted to upload your CSV data files directly to our system. Our platform will process these files to extract your store's data.
