Your PrestaShop to CSV Export Process in Detail
Exporting your PrestaShop store data to a CSV file with Cart2Cart is a straightforward, step-by-step process designed for efficiency and accuracy.
-
Connect Your PrestaShop Source Store
Begin by specifying your current PrestaShop store as the source. You'll need to provide your store's URL and select a connection method. Cart2Cart supports connecting via Platform Admin User Credentials for automatic bridge upload or by manually uploading Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your PrestaShop root directory.
-
Select CSV File as Your Target Format
Instead of connecting to a new e-commerce platform, you will choose 'CSV File' as your target format. This tells Cart2Cart to prepare your PrestaShop data for export into downloadable CSV files rather than importing it into another live store.
-
Choose Data Entities for Export
Next, you'll select precisely which data entities you wish to export from your PrestaShop store. You can choose from a comprehensive list including products, customers, orders, categories, and more. This granular control ensures you only export the data relevant to your needs.
-
Configure Additional Export Options
Tailor your export further by selecting additional options. These can include migrating images embedded in descriptions, preserving original IDs for customers, orders, and products, or exporting SEO URLs. These options help ensure your CSV files contain all the intricate details of your PrestaShop store.
-
Run Free Demo Export & Review Results
Before committing to a full export, we highly recommend running a free demo. This allows you to export a limited set of your PrestaShop data to CSV, giving you the opportunity to review the file structure and data accuracy. Once the demo is complete, you can download the sample CSV files and verify everything meets your expectations.
-
Initiate Full Data Export
Satisfied with the demo? Proceed to initiate the full data export. Cart2Cart will process all your selected PrestaShop entities and generate comprehensive CSV files ready for download. You'll receive a notification once your complete data package is available.

How long does a PrestaShop to CSV export take?

What if I need help during the PrestaShop to CSV export?
Cart2Cart provides dedicated customer support to assist you at every step of your export journey. Our team of experts is ready to help with any questions or technical challenges you might encounter.
Is it possible to "rollback" a CSV export?
A CSV export is a data extraction process and does not alter your source PrestaShop store. Therefore, there is no need for a "rollback" as your original store remains untouched. If you identify issues with the exported CSV, you can simply re-run the export with adjusted settings.
What are the connection methods for PrestaShop?
For PrestaShop, you can connect your store by providing Platform Admin User Credentials, which allows Cart2Cart to automatically upload a connection bridge. Alternatively, you can manually upload the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your PrestaShop's root directory.
Why would I export my PrestaShop data to a CSV file?
Exporting to CSV is ideal for creating comprehensive backups, preparing data for import into a custom or unsupported e-commerce platform, or conducting detailed data analysis and reporting outside of your PrestaShop environment.

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.
