Your osCommerce to Volusion Migration in 6 Simple Steps

Connect Your Source osCommerce Store: Begin by selecting osCommerce as your Source Cart. You will then need to establish a connection using the Cart2Cart Bridge. This involves downloading a small zip archive, unpacking it, and uploading the bridge2cart folder to the root directory of your osCommerce store via FTP/SFTP. This secure bridge facilitates the data transfer from your current store.

The Cart2Cart wizard's 'Source Store Setup' screen, showing 'Upload Connection bridge' selected as the connection method. Below it, instructions are displayed: '1. Download and unpack connection_bridge.zip' with a 'Download Bridge' button, and '2. Upload 'bridge2cart' folder to your store's root (catalog)' with a 'Read instructions' link. An arrow points to the selected 'Upload Connection bridge' option.
Connect Your Target Volusion Store: Next, choose Volusion as your Target Cart. For Volusion, Cart2Cart utilizes a File Download method. This means that after the migration process, you will receive files containing your migrated data, which you can then import into your Volusion store.
Select Data Entities for Migration: On the 'Entities Selection' page, you'll choose which specific data types you wish to transfer. This includes essential entities like products, customers, orders, and more. You have full control to select only the data relevant to your new Volusion store.
Configure Additional Migration Options: Enhance your migration by selecting various additional options. These can include preserving SEO URLs, migrating images embedded in descriptions, or maintaining original order and customer IDs. These options help tailor the migration to your specific needs and ensure data integrity.
Run a Free Demo Migration: Before committing to a full transfer, we highly recommend running a free demo migration. This allows you to migrate a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-15 products, customers, and orders) to your Volusion store. You can then review the results to ensure everything is transferred accurately and as expected.
Launch Full Migration: Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch your full osCommerce to Volusion migration. Cart2Cart will then transfer all your selected data, providing real-time progress updates and ensuring a complete and secure transition to your new e-commerce platform.

What if I need to re-migrate or update data after the full migration?

Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan, which typically includes options for 1 remigration and 1 data update within 14 days after your initial full migration. This is ideal for transferring any new data added to your old store or for addressing unforeseen issues post-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.
