Your CSV to osCommerce Migration in Detail
Cart2Cart simplifies your store migration with a clear, step-by-step wizard. Here’s how your data transfer from CSV to osCommerce will unfold:
-
1. Connect Your Source Cart (CSV File)
Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart type. You will then upload your prepared CSV files containing your product, customer, order, and other relevant data. Our system will analyze your file structure to prepare for mapping.
-
2. Connect Your Target Cart (osCommerce)
Next, choose "osCommerce" as your Target Cart. To establish a secure connection, you will need to upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files to the root directory of your osCommerce store via FTP/SFTP. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for data transfer.
-
3. Select Data Entities for Migration
Once connected, the wizard will display a list of data entities available for migration, such as products, customers, and orders. You can select exactly which data types you wish to transfer to your new osCommerce store. You can also review how fields will be mapped between your CSV and osCommerce.
-
4. Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration by choosing from a range of additional options specific to osCommerce and general migration needs. These can include preserving IDs, migrating images from descriptions, or setting product quantities.
-
5. Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, we highly recommend running a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited set of data to your osCommerce store, enabling you to review the results and ensure everything is transferred correctly.
-
6. Launch Your Full Migration
Satisfied with the demo results? Proceed to launch your full data migration. Cart2Cart will handle the complete transfer of your selected data from your CSV files to your new osCommerce store, providing real-time progress updates.
What Data Can You Migrate from CSV to osCommerce?

How long does a CSV to osCommerce migration take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data you are transferring. A free demo migration typically takes 15-30 minutes. A full migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process significantly speeds up the transfer compared to manual methods.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
With Cart2Cart, your current store remains fully operational during the entire migration process. We transfer a copy of your data, ensuring zero downtime for your live store. You can continue selling and managing your business without interruption.
What types of data can I migrate from CSV to osCommerce?
You can migrate a wide range of entities, including Product Categories, Products, Manufacturers, Customers, Customer Groups, Orders, Orders Status, Reviews, Stores, and Taxes. Our wizard allows you to select precisely which entities you wish to transfer.
Can I test the migration before committing to a full transfer?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration feature. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your osCommerce store. You can then review the results on both the frontend and backend to ensure everything looks correct before proceeding with a full migration.
What if I encounter issues or need assistance during the migration?
Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support. You can reach out to our technical team for assistance. For complex migrations or those requiring extensive customization, we offer various Data Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) that include a dedicated account manager and technical engineers to ensure a smooth and accurate transfer.
How does Cart2Cart ensure data integrity during migration?
Our automated migration process is designed to preserve data integrity. We offer detailed field mapping, and additional options like "Preserve Product IDs" or "Migrate images in description" help ensure all data is transferred accurately. We also recommend running a demo migration to verify the data before the full transfer.
Is there a way to re-migrate data or update my store after the initial full migration?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan that includes options for re-migrations and data updates. For example, the "1 remigration(s) + 1 update(s)" plan allows you to re-run your migration and transfer new data that appeared in your source store after the initial full migration, typically within 14 days.

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.
