Your Step-by-Step Migration to Big Cartel

Migrating your store data from a CSV file to Big Cartel with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for clarity and ease. Follow these steps to get your new Big Cartel store up and running:

  1. 1. Connect Your Source (CSV File)

    Begin by selecting 'CSV File' as your Source Cart type in the Cart2Cart migration wizard. You will then be prompted to upload your CSV files containing your store data. Our system is designed to process these files efficiently, preparing your data for transfer.

  2. 2. Connect Your Target (Big Cartel)

    Next, choose 'Big Cartel' as your Target Cart. Cart2Cart will require API access credentials to securely connect to your new Big Cartel store. You'll typically generate these keys within your Big Cartel admin panel and paste them into the wizard, allowing for direct and secure data transfer.

Once satisfied, proceed with the full migration to transfer all your data seamlessly.

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.
