Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a streamlined, step-by-step process designed for accuracy and ease. Here's how it works:

1. Set Up Source (Shopify) and Target (PrestaShop) Stores

Begin by selecting Shopify as your Source Cart and PrestaShop as your Target Cart in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. For Shopify, you'll connect via API or the Cart2Cart App. For PrestaShop, you'll use the Cart2Cart Bridge (via FTP/SFTP upload, automatic admin upload, or manual ZIP upload).
