The Magento to CSV Migration Process
-
Configure your Source Store: Enter your current Magento store URL. To establish a secure connection, download the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge and upload it to your Magento root directory via FTP/SFTP.
- Set your Target Platform: Select "CSV File" as your target. This configuration prepares the system to generate downloadable files instead of pushing data to a live database.
-
Select Data Entities: Choose exactly which data types you want to export. You can select all entities or pick specific ones like Products, Customers, or Orders.
-
Choose Additional Options: Enhance your migration by selecting options such as migrating images within descriptions or preserving original IDs to maintain data consistency.
- Launch Migration: Start with a Free Demo to see how a subset of your data is formatted. Once satisfied, launch the Full Migration to receive your complete store data in CSV format.
Data Entities Available for Export
Cart2Cart supports a comprehensive list of entities for the Magento to CSV migration pair:
- Products: Names, SKUs, full descriptions, status, manufacturer, and variants.
- Product Categories: Names, descriptions, and hierarchy.
- Customers: Names, emails, and customer groups.
- Orders: Order IDs, dates, statuses, and detailed transaction info.
- Coupons: Names, codes, and discount types.
- Reviews: Product reviews, ratings, and comments.
- Taxes: Tax classes and rates.
- Manufacturers: Brand names and associated data.
- CMS Pages: Titles and content descriptions.
Will my Magento store go offline during the migration?
No. Cart2Cart only reads data from your Magento database. Your store remains fully operational, and your customers can continue to browse and make purchases without any interruption.
How long does the Magento to CSV export take?
The duration depends on the volume of data (number of products, orders, and customers). A typical migration can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.
Can I test the migration before committing to a full export?
Yes. We highly recommend running a Free Demo Migration. This allows you to export a limited amount of data (usually about 10-30 entities) to see exactly how the CSV files will be structured.
Is my store data secure during the transfer?
Absolutely. We use a secure 128-bit SSL encryption for all data transfers and provide a Connection Bridge that uses a unique security token to ensure only authorized access to your Magento store.
What if I need help with a complex Magento setup?
Cart2Cart offers Data Migration Service Packages. These provide you with a dedicated account manager and technical engineers to handle custom requirements or large-scale migrations for you.
Can I migrate my customer passwords to the CSV file?
Yes, by selecting the "Migrate customers' passwords" additional option, the hashed password data will be included in your export, allowing for credential preservation.

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.
