Your Step-by-Step osCommerce to WIX Migration Guide

Migrating your e-commerce store with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Follow these steps to move your data from osCommerce to WIX:

  1. Connect Your Source Cart: osCommerce

    First, specify your current store platform as osCommerce. To establish a secure connection, you will need to download and upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files to your osCommerce store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for data extraction.

    Next, select WIX as your target platform. Cart2Cart offers two convenient methods to connect your WIX store:

    • API Connection: Generate an API Token within your WIX admin panel (Account Settings > API Keys > Generate API Key, ensuring 'All Permissions' are selected) and paste it into the Cart2Cart wizard. This provides a direct and reliable data transfer method.

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.
