Your CSV to BigCommerce Migration Process with Cart2Cart
Migrating your store data from CSV files to BigCommerce is a straightforward process with Cart2Cart. Follow these key steps to ensure a successful transfer:
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File): Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart. You will then be prompted to upload your CSV files containing your store data directly to the Cart2Cart wizard. Our system will analyze your files to prepare for the migration.
-
Connect Your Target (BigCommerce): Next, choose "BigCommerce" as your Target Cart. You will need to provide the necessary API credentials to establish a secure connection, allowing Cart2Cart to import data directly into your new BigCommerce store.
(BigCommerce supports API Connection, requiring appropriate credentials for data import.)
-
Select Data Entities for Migration: On the "Entities Selection" page, you'll specify exactly which types of data you want to transfer. This includes products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You can review how fields will be mapped and ensure only relevant information is moved.
-
Configure Additional Options & Mappings: Enhance your migration by choosing from a range of additional options, such as creating 301 redirects, migrating SEO URLs, or clearing target store data. You'll also map customer groups, order statuses, and other specific fields to ensure data consistency.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration: Before committing to a full transfer, perform a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited set of data to your BigCommerce store, letting you review the results and verify data accuracy in a real environment.
-

Frequently Asked Questions about CSV to BigCommerce Migration
How long does a CSV to BigCommerce migration take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data you are transferring. A small store with a few hundred entities might take minutes, while larger stores with tens of thousands of entities can take several hours. Our demo migration provides a good estimate of the actual time required.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
No, Cart2Cart performs the migration without affecting your current CSV data or live BigCommerce store operations. Your source data remains untouched, and your BigCommerce store can continue to operate. We recommend running a recent data migration or update after the main transfer to sync any new data.
What data can I migrate from CSV to BigCommerce?
You can migrate a wide range of entities, including products, product categories, customers, customer groups, orders, order statuses, fulfillment statuses, manufacturers, coupons, blogs, posts, CMS pages, stores (for multi-store setups), and tax configurations.
