Your osCommerce to Shopware Migration in Detail

Migrating your store data from osCommerce to Shopware with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Follow these key steps:

  1. Connect Your Source osCommerce Store

    First, specify your current osCommerce store as the Source Cart. You will need to provide your osCommerce store's URL and establish a connection using the Cart2Cart Bridge. This involves downloading a connection_bridge.zip file, unpacking it, and uploading the bridge2cart folder to your osCommerce store's root directory via FTP/SFTP.

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.
