How long does an OpenCart to Shopware migration take?

Will my OpenCart store experience downtime during the migration?

With Cart2Cart, downtime is minimal to none. We recommend performing a free demo migration first.

Your OpenCart store remains fully operational throughout the process, allowing you to continue selling without interruption.

You can migrate a wide range of entities, including Products (with variants, images, descriptions, meta data), Product Categories, Customers (with addresses, customer groups, and optionally passwords), Orders (with statuses, products, prices, customer info), Manufacturers, CMS Pages, Coupons, Product Reviews, Stores, Taxes, and Order Statuses. Refer to the 'What Data Can You Migrate' section above for a detailed list.

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.
