Your PrestaShop to X-Cart Migration in Detail

Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward, step-by-step process designed for clarity and control:

  1. Connect Your Source Cart (PrestaShop)

    Begin by specifying PrestaShop as your current e-commerce platform. You'll need to provide your store's URL and select a connection method. PrestaShop supports various secure connections, including uploading bridge files via FTP/SFTP, using your admin user credentials for automatic bridge upload, or providing a Cart2Cart Bridge in a ZIP archive for manual upload.

Below it, the three steps for uploading the connection bridge are expanded: '1. Download and unpack connection_bridge.zip' with a 'Download Bridge' button, '2. Upload 'bridge2cart' folder to your store's root (catalog)' with a 'Read instructions' link, and '3. Click Next step'.

  2. Connect Your Target Cart (X-Cart)

    Next, select X-Cart as your new store platform and enter its URL. For X-Cart, the primary connection method involves uploading Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to establish a secure link for data import.

    A screenshot of the 'Target Store Setup' page, highlighting the 'Upload Connection bridge' option selected. Below it, instructions are visible: '1. Download and unpack connection_bridge.zip' with a 'Download Bridge' button, and '2. Upload 'bridge2cart' folder to your store's root (catalog) Read instructions'. An arrow points to the selected radio button for 'Upload Connection bridge'.

  3. Select Data Entities for Migration

    Choose precisely which data types you wish to transfer from PrestaShop to X-Cart. This includes essential entities like products, customers, orders, and more. You have full control over what gets migrated.

  4. Configure Additional Options & Mappings

    Enhance your migration with various additional options, such as preserving SEO URLs, migrating images within descriptions, or creating 301 redirects. You can also map customer groups and order statuses to ensure consistency on your new X-Cart store.

A right sidebar provides an 'Instruction' explaining the purpose of preserving links for SEO. The subtotal and total price are displayed at the bottom.

  5. Run a Free Demo Migration

    Before committing to a full transfer, perform a free Demo Migration. This moves a limited subset of your data, allowing you to thoroughly review the results on your X-Cart store and ensure everything is transferred accurately.

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.
