Your Step-by-Step Migration Process to PrestaShop
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
Begin by selecting 'CSV File' as your Source Cart. You will then be prompted to upload your CSV data files. Cart2Cart supports various CSV structures, and our wizard will guide you through mapping your file's columns to PrestaShop's data fields. This is a crucial step to ensure all your information is correctly recognized and prepared for transfer.
-
Connect Your Target (PrestaShop)
Next, select 'PrestaShop' as your Target Cart. Provide your PrestaShop store's URL. For connection, you can either upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory or provide your PrestaShop admin credentials for an automatic bridge upload. This secure connection allows Cart2Cart to import your data effectively.
-
Select Data for Migration & Configure Options
Choose the specific entities you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, orders, and more. For CSV migrations, you'll map your source file fields to the corresponding PrestaShop fields. Additionally, select from a range of extra migration options like preserving customer IDs, migrating images in descriptions, or creating 301 redirects to further customize your transfer.
-
Run Demo or Full Migration
Before committing to a full migration, we highly recommend running a free demo migration. This transfers a limited number of entities, allowing you to review the results on your PrestaShop store and ensure everything looks correct. Once satisfied, you can proceed with the full data migration, transferring all your selected data.

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.
