Your Step-by-Step osCommerce to Magento Migration Process

Cart2Cart simplifies your e-commerce migration with a clear, guided process. Here’s how you can move your store from osCommerce to Magento:

  1. Step 1: Choose Your Migration Service Package

    Begin by selecting a migration service package that best fits your needs. You'll provide your general information and choose from options like Basic, Extended, Premium, or Ultimate, tailored for different project sizes and support levels.

    Screenshot of the 'General Info' section on the 'Data migration service purchase' page, showing fields for user name and email, and radio buttons for selecting 'Migration Service Packages' (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) with their respective prices. A checkbox for agreeing to Terms of Service and Privacy Policy is also visible, along with a 'Next Step' button.
    Select your preferred migration service package.

  2. Step 2: Connect Your Source osCommerce Store

    Specify osCommerce as your source platform. For osCommerce, the connection method typically involves uploading Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory. This secure bridge enables our service to read your data.

    A screenshot of the 'Source Store Setup' page, specifically highlighting the 'Upload Connection bridge' radio button selected under 'Which connection method do you want to use?'. 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'.
    Connect your osCommerce store by uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge.

  3. Step 3: Connect Your Target Magento Store

    Next, select Magento as your target platform. Similar to osCommerce, the recommended connection method for Magento is often uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your new Magento store's root directory. This allows Cart2Cart to securely import your data.

    A screenshot of the 'Target Store Setup' page, highlighting the 'Upload Connection bridge' option selected. Below it, instructions are visible: '1. Download and unpack connection_bridge.zip' with a 'Download Bridge' button, and '2. Upload 'bridge2cart' folder to your store's root (catalog) Read instructions'. An arrow points to the selected radio button for 'Upload Connection bridge'.
    Connect your Magento store by uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge.

  4. Step 4: Select Data Entities for Migration

    Choose which specific data entities you wish to migrate from your osCommerce store to Magento. You can select products, customers, orders, categories, reviews, and more. You can also review detailed field mapping to understand how your data will be transferred.

    The main 'Entities Selection' screen, showing a list of selectable entities like Products, Customers, and Blogs, with options to choose which data types to migrate. It also displays 'Previous Step' and 'Next Step' navigation buttons.
    Select the specific data entities you want to migrate.

  5. Step 5: Configure Additional Migration Options

    Enhance your migration by selecting various additional options. These can include preserving customer and order IDs, migrating SEO URLs, transferring images from descriptions, and more, ensuring a comprehensive data transfer tailored to your needs.

    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.
    Choose additional options to customize your migration.

  6. Step 6: Run a Free Demo Migration

    Before committing to a full migration, run a free demo. This transfers a limited number of entities to your Magento store, allowing you to review the results, check data accuracy, and ensure everything looks as expected.

    A full screenshot of the 'Demo Results Review' page showing the migration steps, a list of migrated entities (products, categories, customers, orders, blogs, posts) with expand/collapse options, links to source and target stores, and a right sidebar with instructions and a video tutorial.
    Review the results of your free demo migration.

  7. Step 7: Start Your Full osCommerce to Magento Migration

    Once you're satisfied with the demo results, proceed to the final step to initiate your full data migration. Review the total entities and estimated cost, then launch the complete transfer of your osCommerce store data to Magento.

    The main screenshot displays the 'Total Entities' section on the migration finish page, showing a list of migratable entities (e.g., Products, Product Categories) with their respective counts under 'Migrated'. It also shows the total count (1764) and an estimated cost ($128.00). Above this section is a 'Skip remigration insurance' checkbox. The right sidebar provides instructions on 'Migration Insurance'.
    Finalize and launch your full migration.

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.
