BigCommerce to Zen Cart
The BigCommerce to Zen Cart migration is a simple, guided process that can be completed in just a few steps:
- Setup your Source Store: Select BigCommerce as your source platform. Provide your store URL and API credentials (Client ID and Access Token) to allow the wizard to access your data.
- Setup your Target Store: Choose Zen Cart as your target platform. Download the Connection Bridge files and upload the "bridge2cart" folder to your Zen Cart root directory via FTP/SFTP. This establishes a secure link for data import.
- Select Data Entities: Choose the specific entities you want to move, such as products, categories, customers, and orders. You can also select additional migration options to customize the transfer.
- Run a Free Demo Migration: Launch a demo to transfer a small subset of data to your Zen Cart store in minutes. This allows you to verify the results and ensure everything is mapped correctly.
- Launch Full Migration: Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed to the Full Migration. Cart2Cart will securely move your entire database to its new home.
Data Entities You Can Migrate
Our automated tool supports the transfer of the following data types from BigCommerce to Zen Cart:
- Products: Name, SKU, Full Description, Status, Manufacturer, Price, Special Price, Weight, Attributes, and Variants.
- Product Categories: Name, Description, Status, and Images.
- Customers: First Name, Last Name, Email, Customer Group, and full Shipping/Billing Addresses.
- Orders: Order Date, Status, Order Products, Subtotal, Shipping Price, and Total Price.
- Manufacturers: Name and associated images.
- Product Reviews: Created Date, Rating, User Name, and Comments.
- Coupons: Name, Coupon Code, and Discount Amount.
- Taxes: Tax Classes and Rates.
- CMS Pages: Titles and content.
Will my BigCommerce store go offline during the migration?
No. Your BigCommerce store remains fully operational throughout the entire process. Cart2Cart only reads your data, so your customers can continue to shop without any downtime.
How long does the BigCommerce to Zen Cart migration take?
The time required depends on the total number of entities (products, customers, orders) you are moving. Most migrations are completed within a few hours, and you can monitor the progress in real-time.
Can I migrate my SEO rankings?
Yes. By selecting the "Create 301 redirects" and "Migrate SEO URLs" options, you can ensure that your old links point to the new pages on Zen Cart, preserving your search engine authority.
Is there a way to test the migration for free?
Absolutely. We provide a Free Demo Migration that allows you to transfer a limited amount of data to your Zen Cart store so you can check the quality of the service before paying.
What support is available if I have questions?
Cart2Cart offers 24/7 customer support. Additionally, for complex projects, you can choose a Data Migration Service Package to have our technical engineers handle the entire setup for you.
Can I migrate customer passwords?
Password migration is platform-dependent. If the encryption methods are compatible, Cart2Cart will offer this as an additional option. If not, customers may need to use the "Forgot Password" feature on the new 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.
