Your CSV to CSV Migration Journey with Cart2Cart
Migrating your e-commerce data between CSV files is a streamlined process with Cart2Cart. Follow these steps to ensure a precise and efficient data transfer:
-
1. Select Your Service Package
Begin by providing your general information and selecting a migration service package that best fits your needs. Options range from Basic to Ultimate, offering varying levels of expert assistance and customization for your project.
-
2. Connect Your Source CSV File
Specify 'CSV File' as your Source Shopping Cart. You will then be prompted to upload your source CSV files containing your current store data. Our system will validate the file format and prepare it for migration.
-
3. Connect Your Target CSV File
Similarly, select 'CSV File' as your Target Shopping Cart. This indicates that your migrated data will be prepared into a new set of CSV files, ready for import into your chosen new platform or for further processing. You won't need to provide admin access for a live store at this stage, as the output will be files.
(Note: For CSV to CSV migration, the "connection" here means defining the output structure, and the "download demo results" step will provide the actual target CSV files.)
-
4. Choose Data Entities for Migration
Select the specific data entities you wish to transfer, such as Products, Categories, Customers, and Orders. You have granular control over what data is included in your migration.
-
5. Map Your Data Fields
This is a crucial step for CSV migrations. Our wizard will guide you through mapping fields from your source CSV to the corresponding fields in your target CSV structure. This ensures that all your data, including required and additional product fields, is accurately aligned for the new format.
-
6. Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with various additional options. These can include features like preserving customer IDs, migrating images from descriptions, or configuring tax settings, which will influence the content and structure of your output CSV files.
-
7. Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, run a free demo migration. This transfers a limited number of entities, allowing you to preview the results and verify data accuracy in your generated target CSV files.
-
8. Review Your Demo Results
After the demo, you'll access a review page where you can check the migrated entities and download the resulting demo CSV files. This is your chance to confirm that everything has transferred correctly and make any necessary adjustments.
-
9. Proceed to Full Migration
Once satisfied with the demo, proceed to the full migration. Cart2Cart will transfer all your selected data from your source CSV to your target CSV format, providing a comprehensive and accurate dataset ready for your new platform.

Frequently Asked Questions about CSV to CSV Migration
How long does a CSV to CSV migration typically take?
The duration of a CSV to CSV migration depends on the volume and complexity of your data. A free demo migration, which transfers a limited set of data, usually takes minutes. A full migration can vary from a few hours to several days for very large stores, as it involves processing and transforming all your specified data.
Will my store experience downtime during the CSV to CSV migration?
No, your live store will not experience any downtime during the CSV to CSV migration process. Cart2Cart works with your uploaded CSV files, and the data processing happens on our secure servers. You can continue running your source store as usual while the data is being prepared in the new CSV format.
What data entities can I migrate from one CSV file to another?
You can migrate a wide range of entities, including Products, Categories, Manufacturers, Customers, Orders, Product Reviews, CMS Pages, Blogs, Posts, Coupons, Tax Configuration, Invoices, Credit Memos, and Shipments. Our flexible mapping tools allow you to align these entities to your target CSV structure with precision.
Can I perform a demo migration for CSV to CSV?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities from your source CSV to a target CSV format. You can then download and review these demo CSV files to ensure data accuracy and mapping correctness before committing to a full migration.
What kind of support does Cart2Cart offer for CSV migrations?
Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support. If you opt for one of our service packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate), you'll receive assistance from a dedicated personal manager and a team of technical engineers.

You can also provide specific migration requirements and ticket IDs for streamlined communication.
Is there an option to revert the migration or re-migrate data?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan (e.g., 1 remigration + 1 update) that allows you to re-run your migration or update data within 14 days after the initial full migration. This is particularly useful for addressing unforeseen data issues or incorporating new data that appeared in your source CSV after the initial transfer. You also have the option to skip this insurance.
