Will my BigCommerce store be offline during the migration?

No, your source store remains fully operational. Cart2Cart only reads data from BigCommerce, so your customers can continue to browse and make purchases without any interruption.

How long does the migration to Big Cartel take?

The duration depends on the volume of data (products, customers, and orders) you are moving. A typical migration can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. You can track the progress in real-time through the migration wizard.

Can I test the service before paying?

Yes, we offer a Free Demo Migration. This allows you to transfer a small number of entities to your Big Cartel store within about 10-15 minutes, so you can check the quality of the transfer before committing to a Full Migration.

What if I have a very large store?

For large-scale projects, we offer Data Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, and Ultimate). These include a dedicated account manager and technical support to handle complex requirements and high data volumes.

Is my data secure during the transfer?

Absolutely. Cart2Cart uses a secure SSL connection for all data transfers. We do not store your data on our servers after the migration is complete, ensuring your business and customer information remains private.

What happens if the migration fails?

While failures are rare, we offer Migration Insurance plans that allow you to restart the migration or update data within a specific timeframe (e.g., 14, 30, or 60 days) if any issues arise or if you add new data to your old store.

This app performs greatly

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.
