Your Step-by-Step osCommerce to X-Cart Migration Journey

Migrating your store data from osCommerce to X-Cart with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Follow these simple steps to get started:

  1. Connect Your Source osCommerce Store

    First, specify osCommerce as your current shopping cart. Provide your osCommerce store's URL. For a secure connection, you'll typically use the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload) method, which involves uploading bridge files to your store's root directory via FTP/SFTP.

    The initial view of the 'Source Store Info' page. It displays the 'Choose Source Shopping Cart' dropdown with 'WooCommerce' selected, along with input fields for Source Store URL, Source Store Admin URL, Source Admin Login, and Source Admin Password. An 'I don't have these details' checkbox is available for admin credentials.

  2. Connect Your Target X-Cart Store

    Next, select X-Cart as your new e-commerce platform and enter its URL. Similar to the source store, you'll establish a connection using the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload) method, ensuring our service can securely import your data into your new X-Cart store.

  3. Select Data Entities and Configure Additional Options
