Will my store experience downtime during the CSV migration?
Cart2Cart's migration process is engineered to minimize downtime. The data transfer and processing occur on our secure servers, allowing your source store to remain fully operational. You only need to switch your domain to the new store once the full migration is successfully completed and verified.
What types of data can I migrate using CSV files with Cart2Cart?
You can migrate a comprehensive range of e-commerce entities, including products (with categories, manufacturers, reviews, and variants), customers (with groups), orders (with statuses, fulfillment statuses, invoices, credit memos, and shipments), coupons, CMS pages, blogs, posts, and your store's tax configuration. We also support the transfer of SEO URLs and the creation of 301 redirects.
Can I perform a test migration of my CSV data before the full transfer?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration feature. You can upload a subset of your CSV data and transfer it to a Cart2Cart-provided test store. This allows you to thoroughly review the migrated data, verify its accuracy, and ensure everything meets your expectations before proceeding with the full, paid migration.
