Your CSV to CSV Migration Journey with Cart2Cart
Our streamlined process ensures a smooth and accurate transfer of your data between CSV files. Here’s how it works:
-
Select Your Migration Service Package (Optional)
Begin by choosing a Cart2Cart Data Migration Service Package tailored to your needs. Options range from Basic to Ultimate, offering varying levels of dedicated support from our technical engineers and a personal account manager for complex projects or specific customizations.
-
Connect Your Source CSV File
In the 'Source Store Setup' step, select 'CSV File' as your source platform. You will then upload your existing CSV data file using our intuitive interface. Our system will automatically validate the file format and identify available data entities for migration.
-
Define Your Target CSV File Structure
For a CSV File target, Cart2Cart will prepare your data for export into a new CSV format. This step ensures that the output CSV adheres to your desired structure or a standard format compatible with your next steps (e.g., importing into a new platform). You won't connect a live store, but rather configure the output.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
On the 'Entities Selection' page, choose precisely which data types (entities) you wish to transfer from your source CSV. This includes products, categories, customers, orders, and more. You can review detailed field mapping to understand how data will be transformed.
-
Configure Data Mapping
The 'Mapping Setup' allows you to align fields from your source CSV to the corresponding fields in your target CSV structure. This is crucial for ensuring data integrity and correct organization, especially for complex entities like product attributes, customer groups, and order statuses.
-
Choose Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with various additional options, such as migrating images from descriptions, preserving original IDs, or configuring tax settings. These options provide granular control over the data transfer to meet your specific requirements.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, run a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited set of data to a Cart2Cart test environment or directly to a downloadable CSV, enabling you to review the results and ensure everything is transferred correctly.
-
Launch Full Data Migration
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch the full data migration. Cart2Cart will efficiently process all your selected data, generating a comprehensive CSV file ready for download or further integration.
Data You Can Migrate from CSV File to CSV File
Cart2Cart supports the migration of a wide array of data entities, ensuring a comprehensive transfer of your store information. For CSV to CSV migrations, you can precisely select which data types to include:
- Products: Names, descriptions (short & full), SKUs, prices, images, variants (based on options), attributes, quantities, and more.
- Product Categories: Names, descriptions, images, and hierarchy.
- Manufacturers/Brands: Names and associated product links.
- Customers: Names, email addresses, billing/shipping addresses, customer groups, and even passwords (when supported).
- Orders: Statuses (payment & fulfillment), products ordered, prices, customer details, invoices, credit memos, and shipment records.
- Product Reviews: Ratings, comments, author information.
- CMS Pages/Blogs/Posts: Content, titles, and associated images.
- SEO URLs: Preservation of existing SEO-friendly URLs for products and categories.
- Tax Configuration: Various tax settings, display parameters, and calculation rules.
- Stores: Mapping for multi-store setups to ensure data is directed to the correct respective stores.
- Custom Fields: Mapping of required and additional custom fields for products, customers, and orders.
How does Cart2Cart handle data migration from CSV File to CSV File?
Our process for CSV to CSV migration is designed for precision. You start by uploading your source CSV file. Cart2Cart then processes this data, allowing you to select specific entities and map fields to define your desired output structure. Finally, we generate a new, transformed CSV file ready for download, ensuring your data is accurately converted to meet your needs.
What types of data can I migrate with a CSV to CSV transfer?
You can migrate a comprehensive range of entities, including Products (with descriptions, images, variants, attributes), Product Categories, Customers (with groups and addresses), Orders (with statuses, invoices, credit memos, shipments), Manufacturers, CMS Pages, Blogs, Posts, and more. Our wizard allows you to select specific entities and map their fields for precise control.
Can I perform a test migration for my CSV data?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration. This allows you to transfer a limited set of your CSV data to a Cart2Cart test environment or generate a sample target CSV file. You can then review the results to ensure data accuracy and integrity before proceeding with your full migration.
How long does a CSV to CSV migration typically take?
The duration of a CSV to CSV migration largely depends on the volume and complexity of your data. While Cart2Cart automates much of the process, including data parsing and mapping, larger datasets will naturally require more processing time. Our system is optimized for efficiency, aiming to complete your migration as quickly as possible without compromising accuracy.
Will there be any downtime for my existing store during the CSV migration?
No, migrating data from a CSV file to a new CSV file using Cart2Cart involves offline data processing. Your existing live store (if applicable) will remain fully operational and unaffected throughout the entire migration process, ensuring zero downtime for your customers.
What support options are available if I encounter issues?
Cart2Cart provides professional assistance through various Data Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate). These packages offer a dedicated account manager and a team of technical engineers to assist with complex migrations, customizations, and troubleshooting. Additionally, our Migration Insurance Plan offers re-migrations and data updates for peace of mind.
Can I re-run the migration or update data after the initial transfer?
Yes, with our Migration Insurance Plan, you can perform one or more re-migrations and data updates within a specified period after your initial full migration. This is invaluable for transferring new data added to your source CSV or making adjustments post-migration, ensuring your target CSV is always up-to-date.
How can I ensure the accuracy of my data during the mapping process?
During the 'Entities Selection' and 'Mapping Setup' steps, Cart2Cart provides tools to review how each field from your source CSV will be mapped to your target CSV structure. You can inspect field correspondences and make adjustments as needed. The Demo Migration also serves as a critical step to verify data accuracy with a sample dataset before the full transfer.

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.
