Your PrestaShop to CSV Migration in Detail
Exporting your PrestaShop store data to CSV files with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
-
Connect Your PrestaShop Source Store
Begin by selecting PrestaShop as your source platform in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. You'll then provide your store's URL and choose a secure connection method, such as uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP or providing your admin user credentials for automatic bridge upload. This establishes the link for data extraction.
-
Select Entities for Export
Next, choose precisely which data entities you wish to export from your PrestaShop store. You can select products, customers, orders, categories, and more. This granular control ensures you only extract the data relevant to your needs.
-
Configure Export Options
Customize your export by selecting additional options. These can include preserving specific IDs, migrating images embedded in descriptions (as URLs), or exporting invoice data. These options tailor the output CSV files to your exact specifications.
-
Run Demo or Full Export
Before committing to a full export, we recommend running a free demo migration. This transfers a limited set of data, allowing you to review the generated CSV files and ensure everything is formatted as expected. Once satisfied, you can proceed with the full export of all your selected PrestaShop data.
-
Download Your CSV Files
Upon completion of your demo or full export, your PrestaShop data will be compiled into ready-to-download CSV files. You can access these files directly from your Cart2Cart account, ready for import into your new platform or for offline use.

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.
