Step-by-Step Migration Process

Connect your Source Store: Select OpenCart as your source platform and provide your store's URL. You will need to establish a connection using the Cart2Cart Bridge. This can be done by uploading the bridge files via FTP or by providing your admin credentials for an automated setup.
Connect your Target Store: Choose Big Cartel as your target platform. You will be prompted to provide the necessary API credentials to allow Cart2Cart to securely import data into your new Big Cartel account.
Select Data Entities: Choose the specific information you want to migrate, such as products, categories, customers, and orders. The system will display the mapping between your OpenCart fields and Big Cartel's structure.
Configure Additional Options: Tailor your migration with specialized features like SEO URL preservation, customer password migration, or the ability to clear data on the target store before the transfer begins.
Run a Free Demo Migration: We recommend performing a demo migration first. This transfers a limited amount of data to Big Cartel in just a few minutes, allowing you to verify the results and ensure everything looks correct.
Launch Full Migration: After reviewing the demo results, you can initiate the full migration. Cart2Cart will securely transfer your entire database to Big Cartel while you focus on managing your business.

Will my OpenCart store experience any downtime?

No. Your OpenCart store remains fully live and functional throughout the migration. Cart2Cart only reads data from your source store, so your customers can continue to browse and make purchases without interruption.

How long does the migration from OpenCart to Big Cartel take?

The duration depends on the total number of entities (products, orders, customers) you are moving. Most migrations are completed within a few hours. You can monitor the real-time progress through the Cart2Cart dashboard.

Can I migrate my customer passwords to Big Cartel?

Yes, Cart2Cart offers a specific additional option for password migration. This ensures a seamless transition for your customers, as they won't need to reset their passwords to access their accounts on the new store.

Is it possible to test the migration before committing?

Absolutely. We offer a free Demo Migration that transfers a small subset of your data to Big Cartel. This allows you to inspect the results on your new platform before proceeding with the full transfer.

What if I encounter an error during the process?

Cart2Cart provides 24/7 technical support. If you encounter any issues or have questions about your specific store configuration, our team of experts is available to assist you at any stage of the migration.

Can I migrate SEO URLs to avoid broken links?

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.
