Your Step-by-Step Migration from CSV File to GoDaddy
Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Follow these steps to move your data from a CSV file to your new GoDaddy store:
-
Step 1: Choose Your Migration Service Package
Begin by selecting the Cart2Cart Data Migration Service Package that best suits your needs. Options range from Basic to Ultimate, offering varying levels of support and customization for different project sizes. Provide your general information, agree to the terms, and proceed.
-
Step 2: Connect Your Source Store (CSV File)
Select 'CSV File' as your Source Shopping Cart. You will then be prompted to upload your prepared CSV files containing your store data. Ensure your files are correctly formatted for a smooth transfer.
-
Step 3: Connect Your Target Store (GoDaddy)
Choose 'GoDaddy' as your Target Shopping Cart. Enter the full URL of your GoDaddy store. Depending on GoDaddy's integration capabilities, you may need to provide administrative access details (Admin URL, Login, Password) or API credentials to allow Cart2Cart to import your data. Follow the on-screen instructions to establish a secure connection.
-
Step 4: Select Data Entities for Migration
On the 'Entities Selection' page, choose the specific data types you wish to migrate from your CSV file to GoDaddy. This includes products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You can also review how individual fields will be mapped.
-
Step 5: Configure Data Mappings
If applicable, configure how your source CSV data fields map to the corresponding fields in GoDaddy. This step ensures that customer groups, order statuses, and other data are correctly aligned in your new store.
-
Step 6: Choose Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration by selecting additional options. These can include preserving SEO URLs, migrating images from descriptions, or setting product quantities. These options help maintain your store's integrity and customer experience.
-
Step 7: Run Demo Migration & Review Results
Before committing to a full migration, run a free demo migration. This transfers a limited set of data, allowing you to review the results on a test store and ensure everything is transferred correctly. You can check migrated entities, compare data, and provide feedback.
-
Step 8: Launch Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch your full data migration. Cart2Cart will transfer all your selected data from the CSV file to your GoDaddy store, providing real-time progress updates.

Frequently Asked Questions about CSV File to GoDaddy Migration
How long does a migration from CSV File to GoDaddy take?
The duration of your migration depends on the volume of data in your CSV file and the number of entities you choose to transfer. A demo migration usually takes minutes, while a full migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for efficiency.
Will my GoDaddy store experience downtime during the migration?
During the demo migration, there is no downtime. For a full migration, Cart2Cart works to minimize downtime. The actual data transfer occurs in the background, and you can continue managing your old store. We recommend scheduling the final switch-over during off-peak hours to ensure minimal disruption to your customers.
What data can I migrate from my CSV file to GoDaddy?
You can migrate a wide range of entities, including Products, Product Categories, Customers, Customer Groups, Orders, Order Statuses, Manufacturers, Product Reviews, Coupons, CMS Pages, Stores, and Taxes, provided this data is present and correctly formatted in your CSV files.
Can I perform a demo migration before the full transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited set of your data to a test GoDaddy environment or your actual GoDaddy store to review the results and ensure data accuracy before committing to a full migration.
What if I encounter issues during or after the migration?
Cart2Cart provides dedicated support to assist you throughout the migration process. If you encounter any issues, our technical team is available to help. Additionally, you can opt for a Migration Insurance Plan, which includes free re-migrations and data updates to address any post-migration discrepancies.
Is it possible to roll back the migration if something goes wrong?
While Cart2Cart aims for perfect migrations, unforeseen issues can occur. If you've purchased a Migration Insurance Plan, you can perform a re-migration to correct any problems or transfer new data that appeared in your source store after the initial transfer. This acts as a safety net for your data.
How do I connect my GoDaddy store as a target?
To connect your GoDaddy store as a target, you will select 'GoDaddy' in the Cart2Cart wizard and enter your store's URL. You may be prompted to provide administrative access details or API credentials to establish a secure connection for data import. Our wizard will guide you through the specific requirements.
Can I migrate customer passwords from CSV to GoDaddy?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers an additional option to migrate customer passwords. However, for CSV migrations, this is only possible if your CSV file contains customer passwords in a raw (unhashed) or compatible hashed format that GoDaddy can accept. Due to security best practices, passwords are often securely hashed and may not be directly transferable in all scenarios.

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.
