Frequently Asked Questions about PrestaShop to Volusion Migration

How long does a PrestaShop to Volusion migration take?

A free demo migration usually takes about 15-30 minutes, transferring a limited set of data. The duration of a full migration depends on the total volume of data (number of entities like products, customers, orders) you need to transfer. Our wizard provides an estimated time and cost after you select your entities and options.

Will my PrestaShop store experience downtime during migration?

No, your current PrestaShop store will remain fully operational throughout the migration process. Cart2Cart works with a copy of your database, ensuring zero impact on your live store. There might be a brief period of downtime on your Volusion target store during the final data import, but this is typically minimal and can be scheduled during off-peak hours.

You can migrate a wide range of entities, including products (with variants, images, descriptions), product categories, customers (with billing/shipping addresses), orders (with products, statuses, prices), manufacturers, coupons, customer groups, orders statuses, product reviews, stores, and taxes.

Can I perform a demo migration before the full transfer?

Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration that transfers a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your Volusion test store. This allows you to preview the migration results, check data accuracy, and ensure everything looks correct before proceeding with the full migration.

Cart2Cart provides 24/7 customer support via chat, phone, and ticket system. We also offer various Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) for those who prefer a hands-off approach, providing a dedicated account manager and technical engineers to handle the entire process.

What if I need to re-migrate data or update my store after the initial transfer?

Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan that includes options for re-migrations and data updates within a specified period (e.g., 14 days after full migration). This allows you to transfer any new data added to your PrestaShop store post-initial migration or re-run the migration if needed.

The migration cost is determined by the number of entities you choose to migrate and any additional options you select. Our online Migration Wizard provides a real-time estimate as you configure your migration, allowing you to see the total price before committing.

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.
