OpenCart to X-Cart
Your OpenCart to X-Cart Migration in Detail
Cart2Cart simplifies your store migration into a few easy steps:
Connect Your Source OpenCart Store
Begin by selecting OpenCart as your Source Cart. You'll then provide your OpenCart store's URL and choose a connection method. Options include uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP, or providing admin credentials for automatic bridge upload. Both methods establish a secure link for data extraction.
Connect Your Target X-Cart Store
Next, select X-Cart as your Target Cart. Enter your new X-Cart store's URL. For X-Cart, the primary connection method involves uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory, ensuring a secure channel for data import.
Select Data Entities for Migration
Once connected, you'll see a list of data entities available for transfer. Simply check the boxes next to the entities you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, orders, and more. Cart2Cart intelligently maps common data fields between OpenCart and X-Cart.
Configure Additional Migration Options
Tailor your migration with a range of additional options. These can include preserving IDs, migrating SEO URLs, transferring images within descriptions, or clearing existing data on your target store before migration. Select the options that best suit your business needs.
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before launching the full transfer, we highly recommend performing a free Demo Migration. This transfers a limited set of your OpenCart data to X-Cart, allowing you to review the results and verify data accuracy in a live environment.
Launch Full OpenCart to X-Cart Migration
After reviewing your demo results and confirming satisfaction, proceed to launch your Full Migration. Cart2Cart will then transfer all your selected data from OpenCart to X-Cart, providing real-time progress updates until completion.

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.
