Your Etsy to OpenCart Migration Process
Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is designed to be straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step overview of how we facilitate your move from Etsy to OpenCart:
-
Connect Your Source Cart (Etsy)
First, specify Etsy as your current e-commerce platform. For Etsy, the connection method involves a File Upload. You will need to export your store data from Etsy into a file format, which you will then upload to Cart2Cart.
-
Connect Your Target Cart (OpenCart)
Next, select OpenCart as your new store platform. Cart2Cart offers flexible methods to connect to your OpenCart store:
- Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload): Upload our secure bridge files to your OpenCart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP.
- Platform Admin User Credentials: Provide your OpenCart admin login and password, and Cart2Cart will automatically upload the bridge files for you.
- Cart2Cart Bridge in ZIP archive: Download a ZIP archive of the bridge files and manually upload it through your OpenCart admin section.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Once both platforms are connected, you'll choose exactly which types of data you want to transfer. This includes products, customers, orders, and more. You can also configure additional migration options and map data fields to ensure everything aligns perfectly with your new OpenCart store.
-
Run Demo or Full Migration
Before launching the full transfer, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This allows you to see how a limited set of your data migrates to OpenCart, giving you confidence in the process. After reviewing the demo results, you can proceed with your Full Migration.

I've been through several migrations using this service and I can tell nothing but best. The whole process and service are on point. The team is always there to help you. I like the fact that there are several options to migrate from one platform to another. There is no better service than this for sure.

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.
