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. 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.

    A screenshot of the Cart2Cart migration wizard's 'Source Store Setup' page. It displays 'OpenCart' selected as the source store type, an input field for the OpenCart Admin URL, and the 'Provide Store Admin Access for Auto Upload' connection method selected with fields for Admin Login and Admin Password. The 'Next Step' button is highlighted in green.

  2. 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.

    A screenshot of the 'Target Store Setup' page, highlighting the 'Upload Connection bridge' option selected. Below it, instructions are visible: '1. Download and unpack connection_bridge.zip' with a 'Download Bridge' button, and '2. Upload 'bridge2cart' folder to your store's root (catalog) Read instructions'. An arrow points to the selected radio button for 'Upload Connection bridge'.

  3. 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.

    The main 'Entities Selection' screen, showing a list of selectable entities like Products, Customers, and Blogs, with options to choose which data types to migrate. It also displays 'Previous Step' and 'Next Step' navigation buttons.

  4. 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.

    A full view of the 'Additional Options' page (Step 6 of the migration wizard), displaying a list of selectable migration options with checkboxes, 'Watch' links to videos, and 'Recommended' labels. A right sidebar shows a 'Get Assistance' button and an 'Instruction' box, offering contextual information. Navigation buttons for 'Previous Step', 'Skip Demo', and 'Start Demo Migration' are visible at the bottom.

  5. 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.

    A screenshot of the 'Demo Migration Process' page, showing the migration progress for various entities on the right, a user feedback survey on the left, and an 'Instruction' sidebar with a video tutorial on checking migration results.

  6. 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.

    The main screenshot displays the 'Total Entities' section on the migration finish page, showing a list of migratable entities (e.g., Products, Product Categories) with their respective counts under 'Migrated'. It also shows the total count (1764) and an estimated cost ($128.00). Above this section is a 'Skip remigration insurance' checkbox. The right sidebar provides instructions on 'Migration Insurance'.

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.
