Your CSV to BigCommerce Migration in Detail
Migrating your store data from a CSV file to BigCommerce with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
-
Connect Your Source Store (CSV File)
Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart type in the Cart2Cart migration wizard. You will then be prompted to upload your CSV data files. Our system will guide you through mapping the fields from your CSV to BigCommerce's data structure, ensuring every piece of information finds its correct place.
-
Connect Your Target Store (BigCommerce)
Next, choose "BigCommerce" as your Target Cart. To establish a secure connection, you will need to provide the necessary API credentials. This typically involves generating an API path, Client ID, and Access Token from your BigCommerce admin panel and pasting them into the Cart2Cart wizard. This secure connection allows our service to import your data directly into your new BigCommerce store.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
On the "Entities Selection" page, you gain precise control over which data types you wish to migrate. You can choose to transfer a wide range of entities, including products, categories, customers, orders, and more. Our wizard clearly displays available entities and their dependencies, allowing you to customize your migration scope.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with a variety of additional options. These features allow you to fine-tune the data transfer, such as migrating SEO URLs, preserving order IDs, clearing existing data on your target store, or adjusting product quantities. Select the options that best suit your needs to ensure a comprehensive and tailored migration.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This allows you to migrate a limited set of your data to your BigCommerce store, giving you the opportunity to review the results, verify data accuracy, and ensure everything looks perfect. The Demo Results Review page provides links to both your source and target stores for easy comparison.
-
Start Your Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with your demo results, proceed to launch your Full Migration. Cart2Cart will then transfer all your selected data from your CSV files to your BigCommerce store. Our automated service works efficiently in the background, minimizing downtime and allowing you to monitor the progress in real-time.

Frequently Asked Questions about CSV to BigCommerce Migration
How long does a CSV to BigCommerce migration typically take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data in your CSV files and the complexity of your store. A free Demo Migration, which transfers a limited number of entities, usually completes within minutes. A full migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process works in the background, minimizing your involvement.
Will my current store be offline during the migration process?
No, Cart2Cart performs the migration in the background, allowing your source store to remain fully operational throughout the process. This ensures zero downtime for your customers and uninterrupted sales. You can continue managing your store as usual while data is being transferred to BigCommerce.
What types of data can I migrate from CSV to BigCommerce?
You can migrate a wide array of data from your CSV files to BigCommerce, including products, product categories, product reviews, customers, customer groups, orders, order statuses, fulfillment statuses, manufacturers, coupons, blogs, posts, CMS pages, and tax configurations. Our wizard allows you to select precisely which entities to transfer.
Can I test the migration before moving all my data to BigCommerce?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration feature. This allows you to transfer a small subset of your data (e.g., a few products, customers, and orders) to your BigCommerce store. You can then review the migrated data on both the frontend and backend of your new store to ensure accuracy and satisfaction before proceeding with the full migration.
What kind of support does Cart2Cart offer for my migration?
Cart2Cart provides various levels of professional assistance through our Data Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate). These packages offer dedicated account managers and a team of technical engineers to handle complex migrations, special customizations, and ensure a qualitative and accurate data transfer, saving you time and ensuring accuracy.
Is there an option to re-migrate data or update my store after the initial full migration?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers Migration Insurance Plans (e.g., 1 remigration + 1 update, 2 remigrations + 2 updates) that allow you to re-run your migration or update recent data within a specified period after your initial full migration. This acts as a safety net for unforeseen data issues or new data added to your source store post-migration.
How much does it cost to migrate from CSV to BigCommerce?
The cost of your migration is primarily determined by the total number of data entities you choose to migrate (e.g., products, customers, orders) and any additional migration options or service packages you select. You will receive a clear, preliminary cost estimate within the migration wizard before you finalize your migration.

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.
