Your Seamless Migration Journey to osCommerce
Migrating your e-commerce data from a CSV file to osCommerce with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to get your new store up and running:
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart. You will then upload your CSV files containing your product, customer, and order data directly to the Cart2Cart wizard. Our system will analyze your files to prepare for the migration.
-
Connect Your Target (osCommerce)
Next, choose "osCommerce" as your Target Cart. Provide your osCommerce store's URL. For a secure connection, you'll typically download and upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your osCommerce store's root directory. This bridge facilitates secure data transfer.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Specify exactly which data entities you wish to migrate from your CSV files to osCommerce. You can choose to transfer products, product categories, customers, orders, manufacturers, reviews, and more. Our wizard provides a clear overview of all available data types.
-
Configure Additional Options & Mapping
Enhance your migration with various additional options, such as preserving IDs, migrating images from descriptions, or creating 301 redirects. You'll also have the opportunity to map your CSV file fields to the corresponding osCommerce fields, ensuring data accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions about CSV to osCommerce Migration
What is a demo migration?
A demo migration is a free, limited data transfer that allows you to move a small subset of your data (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) from your CSV files to a test osCommerce store. This helps you verify the migration process and check the accuracy of the transferred data before committing to a full migration. You can review the results on the Demo Results Review page.
How long does a full migration from CSV to osCommerce take?
The duration of a full migration depends on the total volume of data you are transferring. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for efficiency, often completing migrations within hours for average-sized stores. You will receive real-time updates on the migration progress page.
Will my osCommerce store experience downtime during the migration?
Cart2Cart performs migrations with minimal to zero downtime for your live store. The data transfer occurs in the background, allowing your source store to remain fully operational throughout the process. Once the migration is complete, you can switch your domain to the new osCommerce store.
What types of data can I migrate from CSV to osCommerce?
You can migrate a wide range of entities, including Products, Product Categories, Customers, Customer Groups, Orders, Order Statuses, Manufacturers, Reviews, Stores, and Taxes. Our wizard guides you through selecting the specific data you wish to transfer.
How do I check the results of my demo migration?
After your demo migration is complete, you will be redirected to the Demo Results Review page. Here, you can see a list of migrated entities and their counts, with links to both your source and target stores for direct comparison. Instructions and a video guide are provided to help you thoroughly verify the transferred data.
What if I have custom data or require special customizations?

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.
