GoDaddy to Magento
Step 1: Connect Your GoDaddy Source Store
Start by selecting GoDaddy as your Source Cart. Provide your current store's URL to establish a connection. Cart2Cart uses a secure connection method to retrieve your data without affecting your live site's performance.
Step 2: Connect Your Magento Target Store
Select Magento as your Target Cart. To enable data import, you will need to download the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge and upload it to your Magento root directory via FTP/SFTP. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for the data transfer.
Step 3: Select Data Entities
Choose the specific data you wish to migrate. You can select all entities or pick specific ones such as products, customers, orders, and categories. The system will automatically handle the relationships between these entities to ensure data consistency.
Step 4: Configure Additional Options
Customize your migration by selecting additional options. For a GoDaddy to Magento move, you might choose to migrate customer passwords, create 301 redirects to preserve SEO, or preserve your original order IDs for consistent record-keeping.
Step 5: Launch Demo and Full Migration
We recommend starting with a Free Demo Migration to see how a subset of your data looks on the Magento platform. Once you are satisfied with the results, you can launch the Full Migration to move your entire database securely.

How long does the GoDaddy to Magento migration take?
The duration depends primarily on the number of entities (products, customers, and orders) you are moving. A small store might take less than an hour, while larger databases will take longer. You can track progress in real-time through the migration wizard.
Will my GoDaddy store go offline during the migration?
No. Cart2Cart ensures 100% uptime for your source store. The migration process only reads data from GoDaddy, so your customers can continue browsing and making purchases without interruption.
Can I migrate my customers' passwords to Magento?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers an additional option to migrate customer passwords. This ensures a seamless transition for your users, as they won't need to reset their passwords to access their accounts on the new platform.
Is it possible to test the migration before paying?
Absolutely. We provide a Free Demo Migration that allows you to transfer a limited number of entities to your Magento store in about 10-15 minutes. This helps you verify the accuracy of the transfer before committing to the full migration.
What happens if I receive new orders on GoDaddy during the migration?
Since your source store remains live, you may receive new data. You can use our "Recent Data Migration" service or choose a Migration Insurance plan to move only the new items that appeared after the initial full transfer.
How do I preserve my SEO rankings when moving to Magento?
We highly recommend selecting the "Create 301 redirects" and "Migrate categories and products SEO URLs" options. These features ensure that your old links point to the new ones, preventing 404 errors and preserving your search engine authority.

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.
