Your CS-Cart to X-Cart Migration in Detail

  1. Step 1: Prepare Your CS-Cart Data as a CSV File & Upload

    Begin by exporting your essential data from your CS-Cart store into a CSV file format. Once your data is ready, Cart2Cart accepts this CSV file as your source for migration. Simply upload your prepared CSV file to our platform to initiate the process.

  2. Step 2: Connect Your X-Cart Store

    Next, establish a connection to your new X-Cart store. For X-Cart, Cart2Cart utilizes the secure Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload) method. You will need to download our connection bridge files, unpack them, and upload the bridge2cart folder to your X-Cart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This creates a secure link for data transfer.

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.
