Your Etsy to osCommerce Migration Process
Migrating your store data from Etsy to osCommerce with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Follow these key steps to get your new osCommerce store up and running:
-
1. Connect Your Source Etsy Store
Begin by selecting 'Etsy' as your Source Cart in the Cart2Cart migration wizard. For Etsy, you will connect your store by uploading a data file containing your exported store information.
-
2. Connect Your Target osCommerce Store
Next, choose 'osCommerce' as your Target Cart. To establish the connection, you will need to upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files to your osCommerce store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This bridge ensures a secure and reliable data transfer.
-
3. Select Data Entities for Migration
After connecting both stores, you'll be presented with a list of data entities available for migration, such as Products, Customers, Orders, and more. Select the specific entities you wish to transfer to your new osCommerce store.
-
4. Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with various additional options. These features allow you to preserve SEO URLs, migrate images from descriptions, preserve IDs, and more, ensuring a comprehensive and tailored data transfer.
-
5. Run a Free Demo Migration
Before launching the full migration, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This transfers a limited set of data, allowing you to review the results on your osCommerce store and verify data accuracy and integrity.
-
6. Launch Your Full Etsy to osCommerce Migration
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch the full data migration. Cart2Cart will transfer all your selected data to your new osCommerce store efficiently and securely.

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.
