Your PrestaShop to CSV Migration in Detail
Migrating your PrestaShop store data to a CSV file with Cart2Cart is a streamlined process designed for accuracy and ease. Follow these steps to export your data:
-
1. Connect Your Source PrestaShop Store
Begin by selecting PrestaShop as your Source Cart. Provide your PrestaShop store's URL and choose a connection method. You can connect via Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload), by providing Platform Admin User Credentials for automatic bridge upload, or by manually uploading a Cart2Cart Bridge in ZIP archive through your admin section.
-
2. Select CSV File as Your Target
Next, choose CSV File as your Target Cart. For CSV exports, Cart2Cart will process your data and prepare it for download as structured CSV files. There's no traditional "connection" to a live target store; instead, we generate the files for you.
-
3. Choose Data Entities for Export
Select the specific data entities you wish to export from your PrestaShop store. Cart2Cart supports a wide range of data, including products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You have full control over what data is included in your CSV files.
-
4. Configure Additional Export Options
Enhance your data export by selecting additional options. These can include preserving IDs, migrating images from descriptions, or exporting SEO URLs, ensuring your CSV files contain all the critical details you need.
-
5. Run Demo Migration & Download Files
We highly recommend running a free Demo Migration first. This transfers a limited number of entities, allowing you to review the generated CSV files and verify their accuracy before committing to a full export. Once satisfied, proceed with the Full Migration, and your complete PrestaShop data will be available for download in CSV format.

Frequently Asked Questions about PrestaShop to CSV Migration
How long does a PrestaShop to CSV migration take?
The duration of your PrestaShop to CSV export depends on the total number of entities (products, customers, orders, etc.) you are migrating. For a typical store, a demo migration (exporting a limited dataset) can take just a few minutes, while a full migration can range from a few hours to several hours for very large stores. Since it's an export to files, the process is generally faster than migrating to a live store.
Will my PrestaShop store experience downtime during migration?
No, your PrestaShop store will not experience any downtime during the data export process to CSV files. Cart2Cart works with a copy of your database, allowing your store to remain fully operational and accessible to customers throughout the migration.
What data can I migrate from PrestaShop to CSV?
Cart2Cart supports a comprehensive range of data entities for export from PrestaShop to CSV, including Products (with categories, reviews, manufacturers), Customers (with groups), Orders (with statuses, carriers, invoices, credit memos, shipments), Blogs, Posts, Coupons, Catalog Price Rules, Stores, and Taxes. Refer to the 'What Data Can Be Exported' section for a complete list.
Can I perform a demo migration from PrestaShop to CSV?
Yes, Cart2Cart strongly recommends performing a free demo migration. This allows you to export a limited number of entities to CSV files, which you can then download and review to ensure data accuracy and completeness before committing to a full migration. This step provides confidence in the migration outcome.
What if I need help during the migration?
Cart2Cart offers dedicated support and various Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) to assist you with your migration. Our team of technical engineers and personal account managers can handle complex migrations, provide customizations, and ensure a smooth data transfer, saving you time and effort.
Can I re-export my PrestaShop data to CSV if I need to make changes?
Yes, if you need to re-export your PrestaShop data to CSV (e.g., to include new data, apply different options, or correct issues), you can initiate another migration. While the concept of 'remigration insurance' typically applies to live store migrations, you can always start a new export process with Cart2Cart to generate updated CSV files.
How does Cart2Cart handle images in descriptions when exporting to CSV?
With the 'Migrate Images in Description' additional option, Cart2Cart identifies images embedded within your product, category, and blog post descriptions. It then exports the URLs or references to these images within your CSV files, ensuring that your visual content is accounted for in the exported data.
Is it possible to preserve original IDs when exporting PrestaShop data to CSV?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers additional options to 'Preserve Customer IDs', 'Preserve Order IDs', and 'Preserve Product IDs'. By selecting these options, the original identification numbers from your PrestaShop store will be maintained in the corresponding fields within your exported CSV files.

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.
