Your CSV to CSV Migration Process with Cart2Cart
Cart2Cart simplifies the intricate process of transferring your store data via CSV files. Our wizard guides you through each step, from uploading your source data to defining the output structure and downloading your migrated files.
-
Upload Your Source CSV File
Instead of connecting to a live store, you'll begin by uploading your existing e-commerce data in CSV format. This file contains all the entities you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, or orders. Our system will analyze your file to prepare for mapping.
-
Configure Target CSV Output
Next, you'll specify that your target format is also a CSV file. This step involves defining the desired structure for your output CSV, ensuring it aligns with the import requirements of your new e-commerce platform or custom needs. You might select a predefined template or configure custom column headers.
-
Map Your Data Fields
This is a crucial step for CSV migrations. You'll precisely map the columns from your source CSV file to the corresponding fields in your target CSV structure. This ensures that every piece of data, from product names to customer addresses, lands in the correct place in your new file.
-
Select Data Entities (via Mapping)
While not a separate checkbox step, your field mapping implicitly defines which entities (e.g., products, categories, customers, orders) are being processed and prepared for migration. You can review the entities identified from your source CSV and confirm their inclusion.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with various options. These can include preserving specific IDs, handling images embedded in descriptions, or adjusting product quantities. Select the options relevant to your data and target platform's capabilities.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, execute a free demo migration. This processes a limited subset of your source CSV data, generating a sample target CSV. It's an invaluable opportunity to verify the accuracy of your mapping and chosen options.
-
Review Demo Results and Download Files
On the Demo Results Review page, you can inspect the migrated entities and download the generated demo CSV files. This allows you to thoroughly check the data structure and content before proceeding with the full migration.
-
Launch Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch your full CSV to CSV migration. Cart2Cart will process your entire source file, applying all your configurations and generating the complete set of target CSV files.
Data You Can Migrate from CSV File to CSV File
With Cart2Cart's CSV migration service, you have the flexibility to transfer a wide range of e-commerce entities, provided they are present in your source CSV file and properly mapped to your target CSV structure. Common entities include:
- Products: Names, descriptions (short & full), SKUs, prices, quantities, images, variants/options, manufacturers, attributes, product reviews.
- Product Categories: Names, descriptions, images, SEO URLs.
- Customers: Names, email addresses, billing/shipping addresses, customer groups, passwords.
- Orders: Order IDs, statuses (order & fulfillment), products ordered, customer info, billing/shipping details, invoices, credit memos, shipments.
- Manufacturers/Brands: Names, descriptions, images.
- Product Reviews: Ratings, comments, author, status.
- Coupons: Codes, discounts, usage limits.
- CMS Pages: Titles, content, SEO data.
- Blogs & Posts: Titles, content, images, authors, comments.
- Tax Configuration: Tax rates, rules, display settings.
The exact data fields transferred depend on the content of your source CSV and the precision of your field mapping during the migration setup.

How long does a CSV to CSV migration take?
The duration of a CSV to CSV migration depends on the volume of data in your source file and the complexity of your mapping. A demo migration, processing a small subset of data, typically takes minutes. A full migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large datasets. You can monitor the progress in real-time on our migration progress page.
Will there be any downtime during the CSV migration?
For CSV to CSV migration, there is virtually no downtime for your live store. Since you are working with static files, your current online store remains fully operational throughout the process. You only need to take your new store offline briefly when you import the final, migrated CSV files.
What data can I migrate from one CSV file to another?
You can migrate a comprehensive range of e-commerce data, including products (with descriptions, images, variants, attributes), categories, customers (with addresses, groups, passwords), orders (with statuses, items, invoices, credit memos, shipments), manufacturers, coupons, CMS pages, and blog posts. The specific data migrated depends on what's present in your source CSV and how you map the fields.
Can I perform a demo migration for CSV files?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration for CSV files. This allows you to upload your source CSV, configure your mapping, and then process a limited number of entities to generate a sample target CSV. You can then download and review these demo files to ensure accuracy before proceeding with a full migration.
What kind of support does Cart2Cart offer for CSV migrations?
Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support for CSV migrations. Our Data Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) offer professional assistance, including a dedicated account manager and a team of technical engineers. We guide you through file preparation, mapping, and troubleshooting to ensure a qualitative and accurate data transfer.
What if I need to make changes or re-migrate my CSV data?
Cart2Cart offers Migration Insurance Plans that include free re-migrations and data updates within a specified period (e.g., 14 days for the Basic plan). This allows you to re-run your migration or transfer new data that appeared in your source CSV after the initial transfer, ensuring your target data is always up-to-date.
How is the cost of a CSV migration determined?
The cost of your CSV migration is primarily based on the total number of entities (products, customers, orders, etc.) you choose to migrate. Additional options, such as preserving SEO URLs or migrating customer passwords, may incur extra charges. You will receive a clear estimated cost during the migration wizard setup before you finalize your purchase.

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.
