Migrating from Magento to Big Cartel involves a straightforward, five-step process within our migration wizard:
-
Step 1: Setup your Source Cart
Select Magento as your Source Store. Enter your current store's URL and establish a connection. You can use the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge by uploading it to your Magento root directory via FTP, or provide administrative access for an automated setup. -
Step 2: Setup your Target Cart
Choose Big Cartel as your Target Store. Provide your store URL and the required API credentials to allow Cart2Cart to securely import your data into the new platform. -
Step 3: Select Data Entities and Options
Choose the specific data types you want to move—such as products, categories, and customers. You can also select additional migration options like clearing data on the target store or preserving order IDs. -
Step 4: Run a Free Demo Migration
Launch a Demo Migration to see how the service works. Cart2Cart will transfer a limited number of entities to your Big Cartel store in about 15 minutes, allowing you to inspect the results before committing to the full transfer. -
Step 5: Launch Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, initiate the Full Migration. You can close your browser and wait for the email notification once your Magento data is fully successfully moved to Big Cartel.
Data Entities You Can Transfer
Based on the capabilities of both platforms, you can migrate the following entities from Magento to Big Cartel:
- Products: Name, SKU, Full Description, Status, Price, Special Price, Weight, and Product Categories.
- Product Categories: Name, Description, and Status.
- Customers: First Name, Last Name, Email, and Customer Groups.
- Orders: Order Date, Order Status, Order Products (Name, SKU), Subtotal Price, Shipping Price, and Total Price.
- Manufacturers: Name.
- Taxes: Tax Class and Tax Rates.

Will my Magento store be down during the migration?
No. Your Magento store remains fully operational during the data transfer. Customers can continue to browse and shop without any interruption.
How long does it take to migrate from Magento to Big Cartel?
The duration depends on the total number of products, customers, and orders. Most migrations are completed within a few hours.
Can I test the migration before I pay?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration. This allows you to transfer a small amount of data to your Big Cartel store to verify the accuracy of the process.
What if I have new orders in Magento after the migration is done?
You can use our Recent Data Migration service or Migration Insurance to transfer only the new data that appeared in your source store after the initial 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
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.
