Select Data Entities: Choose exactly which data types you want to move, such as products, categories, customers, and orders. You can select all or pick specific entities based on your needs.
Choose Additional Options: Enhance your migration by selecting features like SEO URL migration, customer password preservation, or clearing data on the target store before the transfer.
Launch Demo Migration: Run a free Demo Migration to see how a limited amount of data looks on your new OpenCart store. This takes about 10-30 minutes and helps verify the setup.

How long does the GoDaddy to OpenCart migration take?

The duration depends primarily on the number of entities (products, customers, orders) you are moving. A small store might take less than an hour, while very large databases can take several hours. You can track progress in real-time through the migration wizard.

Will my GoDaddy store go offline during the transfer?

No. Cart2Cart ensures that your source store remains fully functional and online. Your customers can continue to browse and make purchases while the data is being copied to your new OpenCart store.

Can I migrate my customer passwords?

Yes, by selecting the "Migrate customers' passwords" additional option, Cart2Cart can securely transfer password hashes, allowing your customers to log in to OpenCart without needing to reset their credentials.

Is there a way to test the migration before paying?

Absolutely. We provide a free Demo Migration that transfers a limited number of entities to your OpenCart store. This allows you to check the data structure and ensure everything is mapped correctly before committing to the full migration.

What happens if the migration fails?

Cart2Cart offers 24/7 technical support to assist with any issues. Additionally, we offer Migration Insurance plans that allow you to restart or update the migration if you encounter problems or if new data appears on your source store after the initial transfer.

Can I move my SEO rankings to OpenCart?

Yes. By choosing the "Migrate categories and products SEO URLs" and "Create 301 redirects" options, you can preserve your URL structure and ensure that search engines and customers are directed to the correct new pages.

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.
