AceShop to X-Cart
Your Step-by-Step Migration Journey to X-Cart
Migrating your store data from CSV files to X-Cart with Cart2Cart is designed to be straightforward and stress-free. Here’s a detailed look at the process:
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
Begin by uploading your CSV files containing your store data. Cart2Cart's wizard will guide you through mapping the fields from your CSV to the corresponding entities in X-Cart. This ensures that all your product, customer, and order details are correctly identified for transfer.
-
Connect Your Target (X-Cart)
Next, you'll specify your new X-Cart store as the target platform. Provide your X-Cart store's URL and establish a secure connection, typically by uploading a connection bridge via FTP/SFTP to your X-Cart root directory. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for data transfer.
Note: While the screenshot below is a general example of target store setup, for X-Cart, you will typically use the "Upload Connection bridge" method.
-
Select Data Entities and Configure Additional Options
Choose precisely which data entities you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, orders, and more. You can also select from a range of additional migration options to customize your transfer, including preserving IDs, migrating SEO URLs, and handling product images within descriptions.
-

How long does a migration from CSV to X-Cart take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data you're transferring. A free demo migration typically takes just a few minutes to complete a small subset of your data. A full migration can vary from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart optimizes the process for speed and efficiency.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
Cart2Cart is designed to minimize downtime. Your source store remains fully operational during the migration process, allowing you to continue selling. Once the migration is complete, a brief period is needed to switch your domain to the new X-Cart store.

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.
