Your osCommerce to CSV Migration Process: Step-by-Step

  1. Connect Your Source osCommerce Store: Begin by selecting osCommerce as your Source Cart in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. You'll then provide your osCommerce store's URL. For connection, you will utilize the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload) method. This involves downloading our bridge files and securely uploading them to your osCommerce root directory via FTP/SFTP.

Below it, the three steps for uploading the connection bridge are expanded: '1. Download and unpack connection_bridge.zip' with a 'Download Bridge' button, '2. Upload 'bridge2cart' folder to your store's root (catalog)' with a 'Read instructions' link, and '3. Click Next step'.
  2. Configure Your Target as CSV File Export: Next, select "CSV File" as your Target Cart. This step is dedicated to configuring the output format of your data. Cart2Cart will prepare your osCommerce data for export into a comprehensive, universally compatible CSV file, ready for your specific needs.

  3. Select Data Entities for Migration: Choose precisely which data types you wish to export from your osCommerce store to the CSV file. You can select all available entities or pick specific ones like Products, Customers, Orders, or Categories, tailoring the export to your exact requirements.

  4. Configure Additional Migration Options: Customize your data export further with various additional options. These can include preferences like migrating images embedded within descriptions, preserving original IDs, or adjusting product quantities in your CSV output.

    A full view of the 'Additional Options' page (Step 6 of the migration wizard), displaying a list of selectable migration options with checkboxes, 'Watch' links to videos, and 'Recommended' labels. A right sidebar shows a 'Get Assistance' button and an 'Instruction' box, offering contextual information. Navigation buttons for 'Previous Step', 'Skip Demo', and 'Start Demo Migration' are visible at the bottom.
  5. Run Demo Migration & Download Sample CSV: Perform a free Demo Migration to preview how a limited set of your data will be extracted and formatted in the CSV. You can then download these sample CSV files to review the results and ensure everything meets your expectations before proceeding.

    A screenshot of the 'Demo Result' page displaying a list of migrated entities (Categories, Customers, Orders, Products Attributes, Products) with 'Download' links. Below these are expandable sections for previewing entities. A right sidebar provides instructions for checking migrated fields and a video link titled 'HOW TO CHECK THE RESULT OF THE DEMO MIGRATION'.
  6. Initiate Full Migration & Download All Data: Once you are completely satisfied with the Demo Migration results, proceed with the Full Migration. Cart2Cart will process all your selected osCommerce data and make the complete, comprehensive CSV files available for you to download.

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.
