Your CSV File to BigCommerce Migration in Detail
Migrating your store data from CSV files to BigCommerce with Cart2Cart is a streamlined process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart in the migration wizard. You will then upload your prepared CSV files containing your store’s data. Our system will automatically validate the file format and column headers to ensure compatibility.
-
Connect Your Target (BigCommerce)
Next, choose "BigCommerce" as your Target Cart. You will be prompted to provide the necessary connection details. BigCommerce supports API connections, requiring appropriate credentials (like an API key and token), or you can install the Cart2Cart app/module as guided by the wizard to establish a secure link.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
On the "Entities Selection" page, precisely choose which data types you want to migrate. This includes essential entities like products, product categories, customers, customer groups, orders, and more. You can also review how individual fields will be mapped from your CSV to BigCommerce.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with a range of additional options. These can include creating 301 redirects for SEO, preserving original SEO URLs, changing product quantities for out-of-stock items, migrating customer passwords, and more. Select the options that best fit your migration strategy.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, perform a free demo migration. This transfers a limited number of your selected entities to your BigCommerce store, allowing you to thoroughly review the results and ensure everything is transferred accurately and as expected.
-

Once you are completely satisfied with the demo results, you can proceed to launch your full data migration. Cart2Cart will handle the complete transfer, and you can monitor its progress in real-time. Soon, your new BigCommerce store will be fully populated and ready for business!

How long does a CSV to BigCommerce migration take?
The duration of your migration depends on the volume of data in your CSV files and the complexity of your store. A free demo migration typically takes just minutes, while a full migration can range from a few hours to several days. Cart2Cart's automated service significantly speeds up the process compared to manual migration.
Will there be any downtime during the migration?
No, Cart2Cart performs the migration without affecting your current CSV file data or your BigCommerce store's live operations. Your stores remain fully functional throughout the process, minimizing disruption to your business and ensuring continuous sales.
What data can I migrate from CSV to BigCommerce?
You can migrate a wide range of entities including products, product categories, product reviews, customers, customer groups, orders, order statuses, fulfillment statuses, manufacturers, coupons, blogs, posts, CMS pages, stores (for multi-store setups), and taxes.
Can I perform a demo migration before the full transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities to your BigCommerce store (or a Cart2Cart test store) to review the results and ensure data accuracy before committing to a full migration.
What connection methods are available for BigCommerce?
For BigCommerce, you can connect via API credentials, which requires appropriate keys and tokens generated within your BigCommerce admin panel, or by installing the Cart2Cart app/module as prompted by the migration wizard. These methods ensure a secure and efficient data transfer.
Is there support available if I encounter issues?
Absolutely. Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support. For complex migrations or special customizations, our service packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) offer a dedicated account manager and a team of technical engineers. You can also provide a Ticket ID for streamlined communication with our support team.
What if I need to re-migrate or update data after the initial transfer?
Cart2Cart offers flexible Migration Insurance plans, including options for 1, 2, or 3 re-migrations and data updates within a specified period (e.g., 14 days after full migration). This provides a valuable safety net for post-migration adjustments, ensuring your data remains current and accurate.
Can I preserve SEO URLs and customer passwords?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers additional options to preserve categories and products SEO URLs, create 301 redirects from old URLs to new ones, and migrate customers' passwords (where technically feasible and secure) to ensure a smooth transition for both search engines and your customers.

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. 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.
