Your CSV to Big Cartel Migration Journey
Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward, step-by-step process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Here’s how it works:
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. You will then be prompted to upload your prepared CSV files containing your store data. Our system will validate the files and prepare them for mapping to your new Big Cartel store.
Note: Ensure your CSV files are correctly formatted according to Cart2Cart's requirements for seamless data processing.
-
Connect Your Target Store (Big Cartel)
Next, choose "Big Cartel" as your Target Cart. You'll need to provide your Big Cartel store URL and API credentials to establish a secure connection. This allows Cart2Cart to securely import your data into your new Big Cartel shop.
-
Select Data Entities & Configure Options
This crucial step allows you to specify exactly what data you want to migrate. You can select entities like products, product categories, customers, orders, and more. Additionally, you can choose from a range of additional migration options to customize your transfer, such as preserving order IDs or migrating images from descriptions.
-
Run Free Demo Migration
Before initiating the full migration, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This transfers a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to your Big Cartel test store. This allows you to review the migrated data firsthand, ensuring everything looks correct and functions as expected.
-
Launch Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with your Demo Migration results, you can proceed to launch the Full Migration. Cart2Cart will then transfer all your selected data from your CSV files to your Big Cartel store. You can monitor the progress in real-time on your migration dashboard.

How long does it take to migrate from CSV to Big Cartel?
A free Demo Migration typically takes only a few minutes to complete, transferring a limited number of entities. The duration of a Full Migration depends on the total volume of data you have. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for speed and efficiency, often completing migrations much faster than manual methods.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
No, Cart2Cart performs the migration in the background. Your current CSV-based store (or the platform from which you exported the CSV) will remain fully operational throughout the entire process, ensuring zero downtime for your customers.
What data entities can I migrate from CSV to Big Cartel?
You can migrate a wide range of entities, including Products, Product Categories, Customers, Customer Groups, Orders, Order Statuses, Manufacturers, Stores, and Taxes. Our wizard provides detailed mapping to ensure accurate transfer of each data type.
Is there a way to test the migration before committing to a full transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration. This allows you to transfer a limited set of your data (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to a test Big Cartel store or your actual target store. You can then review the results to ensure everything is transferred correctly before proceeding with a Full Migration.
What kind of support does Cart2Cart offer for my migration?
Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support, including a detailed knowledge base, live chat assistance, and dedicated support packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) for more complex migrations or those requiring personalized assistance from an account manager and technical engineers.
Can I roll back or re-migrate data if something goes wrong?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers Migration Insurance Plans that include free re-migrations and data updates within a specified period (e.g., 14 days) after your initial full migration. This provides a safety net in case of unforeseen issues or new data appearing in your source store.
How does Cart2Cart ensure data accuracy during migration?
Cart2Cart uses a robust, automated migration algorithm that meticulously maps data fields between your source CSV and Big Cartel.

I've been through several migrations using this service and I can tell nothing but best. The whole process and service are on point. The team is always there to help you. I like the fact that there are several options to migrate from one platform to another. There is no better service than this for sure.

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.
