Your PrestaShop to CSV Migration Process
Migrating your PrestaShop store data to a CSV file with Cart2Cart is a straightforward, step-by-step process designed for accuracy and ease. Follow these simple stages:
-
Initiate Your Migration
Begin by clicking the 'Create New Migration' button in your Cart2Cart account. This will launch our intuitive migration wizard, guiding you through the entire process.
-
Connect Your PrestaShop Source Store
Select 'PrestaShop' as your Source Cart. Provide your PrestaShop store's URL. You can connect either by uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory or by providing your PrestaShop admin user credentials for automatic bridge upload.

Choose CSV File as Your Target
In the next step, select 'CSV File' as your Target Cart. Since you are exporting data, Cart2Cart will prepare your data for download in a structured CSV format.

Select Data Entities for Export
Choose precisely which data entities you wish to export from your PrestaShop store. You can select products, customers, orders, categories, manufacturers, and more. Cart2Cart ensures that all selected data is extracted accurately.

Tailor your data export with various additional options. This includes settings like migrating images embedded in descriptions, preserving IDs, and handling SEO URLs, ensuring your CSV files contain all necessary details.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration & Download Results
We highly recommend running a free demo migration first. This transfers a limited set of your data to a CSV file, allowing you to download and review the file structure and data accuracy before committing to a full export. This step is crucial for verification.

Cart2Cart's wizard provides an estimated time based on your store's size.

I've been through several migrations using this service and I can tell nothing but best. The whole process and service are on point. The team is always there to help you. I like the fact that there are several options to migrate from one platform to another. There is no better service than this for sure.

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.
