Your Step-by-Step Migration to PrestaShop
Cart2Cart simplifies the process of moving your store data from CSV files to PrestaShop. Follow these straightforward steps:
-
Connect Your Source Cart (CSV File)
Begin by selecting 'CSV File' as your Source Cart. You will then upload your CSV file(s) containing your store's data. Our system will analyze the file structure, preparing your data for a smooth transfer.
-
Connect Your Target Cart (PrestaShop)
Next, choose 'PrestaShop' as your Target Cart. To establish a secure connection, you can either upload the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your PrestaShop store's root directory or provide your PrestaShop admin credentials for an automatic bridge upload.
-
Select Data Entities
Specify exactly which data entities you want to migrate. This includes essential elements like products, categories, customers, orders, and more. You have full control over what gets transferred.
-
Configure Additional Options
Enhance your migration with our range of additional options. You can choose to migrate images embedded in descriptions, preserve original IDs (customer, order, product), create 301 redirects for SEO, and much more.
-
Run Demo & Full Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, run a free Demo Migration. This allows you to see a limited set of your data migrated to PrestaShop and verify its accuracy. Once you're satisfied with the demo results, you can proceed to launch your comprehensive Full Migration.

Frequently Asked Questions about CSV to PrestaShop Migration
How long does a CSV to PrestaShop migration take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data in your CSV files. A small store with a few hundred entities might take minutes, while larger stores with tens of thousands of entities can take several hours. Our demo migration can give you a good estimate for your specific case.
Will my current store experience downtime during the migration?
No, Cart2Cart performs the migration on a copy of your data, meaning your source CSV data remains untouched and your existing store stays fully operational throughout the process. Minimal downtime might occur during the final switch to your new PrestaShop store, which can often be scheduled during off-peak hours.
What types of data can I migrate from CSV to PrestaShop?
You can migrate a comprehensive range of data, including Products, Product Categories, Customers, Customer Groups, Orders, Order Statuses, Manufacturers, Taxes, Carriers, Coupons, Catalog Price Rules, Blogs, and Posts. Our flexible mapping ensures your data is transferred accurately.
Is there a way to test the migration before committing to a full transfer?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (typically 10-15 of each selected type) to your PrestaShop store. You can review the results on both the frontend and backend to ensure everything looks correct before proceeding with the full migration.
What kind of support does Cart2Cart offer for my migration?
Cart2Cart provides 24/7 technical support to assist you at every stage of your migration. We offer various Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) that include dedicated account managers and technical engineers for more complex or customized migrations.
What if something goes wrong during or after the migration?
We offer a Migration Insurance Plan that provides a safety net for your migration. This includes options for free re-migrations and data updates within a specified period after your initial full migration, protecting you against unforeseen data issues or new data in your source store.
How do I connect my PrestaShop target store to Cart2Cart?
You can connect your PrestaShop store by either uploading a Cart2Cart Bridge file (via FTP/SFTP) to your store's root directory or by providing your PrestaShop admin user credentials, which allows our system to automatically upload the bridge for you.
Do I need to prepare my CSV file in a specific format for migration?
While Cart2Cart is highly flexible, it's best to have your CSV file well-structured with clear headers. Our wizard will guide you through mapping your CSV fields to the corresponding PrestaShop fields. If you have any concerns, our support team can provide guidance on optimal CSV preparation.

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.
