Your osCommerce to CSV Export Process

Exporting your osCommerce data to a CSV file with Cart2Cart is designed to be straightforward and efficient. Follow these key steps:

  1. Connect Your osCommerce Source Store:

    Begin by providing your osCommerce store's URL. To establish a secure connection, you will need to upload the Cart2Cart Bridge files to your osCommerce root directory via FTP/SFTP. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for data extraction.

  2. Select Data Entities for Export:

    Choose precisely which types of data you wish to export from your osCommerce store. You can select entities like products, customers, orders, and more, ensuring only the necessary information is included in your CSV file.

  3. Configure Additional Export Options:

    Customize your export by selecting various additional options. These can include settings for how product images within descriptions are handled, or ensuring specific IDs are preserved in your CSV output.

  4. Run Demo Export or Full Export:

    Initiate a free Demo Export to preview a limited set of your data in a CSV file, allowing you to verify accuracy. Once satisfied, proceed with the Full Export to transfer all your selected osCommerce data into a comprehensive CSV file.

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.
