For a detailed list of supported fields, please refer to our dedicated data migration section.
How long does an OpenCart to WIX migration take?
A free demo migration from OpenCart to WIX typically takes 15-30 minutes. The duration of a full migration depends on the total volume of data you are transferring. Small to medium-sized stores can often complete a full migration within a few hours, while larger stores may take longer. Our automated system ensures the process is as efficient as possible.
Will my store experience downtime during migration?
No, Cart2Cart performs your OpenCart to WIX migration without causing any downtime to your live OpenCart store. Your current store remains fully operational and accessible to customers throughout the migration process, ensuring no disruption to your sales or customer experience.
Can I try a demo migration from OpenCart to WIX?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) from your OpenCart store to a test WIX store or your actual WIX store to evaluate the results and ensure everything transfers as expected before proceeding with a full migration.
What are the connection methods for OpenCart and WIX?
For your OpenCart source store, you can connect by uploading Cart2Cart bridge files via FTP/SFTP, or by providing your admin credentials for automatic bridge upload. For your WIX target store, the connection is established by installing the dedicated Cart2Cart App directly from the WIX marketplace.
Can I preserve customer passwords and SEO URLs during the migration?
Based on current platform capabilities for the OpenCart to WIX migration pair, direct migration of customer passwords and SEO URLs (for categories and products) is not explicitly supported. While OpenCart can export these, WIX's native import functionalities for these specific fields are not available through the automated migration process.
What is Cart2Cart Migration Insurance?
Migration Insurance is an optional add-on service that provides you with extra flexibility post-migration. It allows you to perform additional re-migrations and data updates within a specified period (e.g., 14 days) after your initial full migration. This acts as a safety net for any unforeseen data issues or if new data appears in your source store after the first transfer.
Can I clear existing data on my WIX store before migration?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers an additional option to "Clear current data on Target Store before Migration." If selected, this feature will delete existing data on your WIX store (specifically for the entities you've chosen to migrate) prior to the full migration, ensuring a clean and conflict-free import of your OpenCart data.
