Your Shopify to osCommerce Migration in 5 Steps

Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth and successful data transfer:

  1. Connect Your Source Shopify Store

    First, specify Shopify as your Source Cart. You'll need to provide your store's URL and choose a connection method. Cart2Cart supports API connection, requiring appropriate credentials, or you can install the Cart2Cart App from the Shopify marketplace for an easier setup.

  2. Connect Your Target osCommerce Store

    Next, select osCommerce as your Target Cart. Provide your osCommerce store's URL. For osCommerce, the connection is typically established by uploading a Cart2Cart Bridge file via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory. This secure bridge facilitates data import.

Review the results to ensure everything is transferred correctly and to your satisfaction.

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.
