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