Your Shopify to CSV Export Process in Detail
-
Connect Your Shopify Source Store
Begin by selecting Shopify as your Source Cart in the Cart2Cart migration wizard. Provide your Shopify store's URL. You can establish a secure connection via API by providing appropriate credentials or by installing the Cart2Cart App from the marketplace. This connection allows Cart2Cart to securely access your store's data for export.
-
Configure Your CSV File Export
As your target is a CSV file, Cart2Cart will guide you through configuring the export parameters. This step involves defining the structure and content of your output CSV file, such as selecting delimiters and field mapping, rather than connecting to a live e-commerce platform. This ensures your Shopify data is formatted and organized precisely as you need it within the CSV.
-
Select Data Entities for Export
Choose which specific data entities you wish to export from your Shopify store. Cart2Cart supports a comprehensive list of entities, allowing you to select exactly what information you need in your CSV file. You have granular control over what data is included in your export.
-
Configure Additional Export Options
Tailor your CSV export further by selecting additional options. These options influence how specific data points are handled and formatted within your output file. For example, ensuring image URLs are included in descriptions or preserving original IDs.
-
Run Demo and Full Export
Initiate a free Demo Migration to export a limited set of your Shopify data to a CSV file. This allows you to review the file structure and data accuracy before committing to a full export. Once satisfied with the demo results, proceed to the Full Migration to export all your selected Shopify data into a comprehensive CSV file.

The team is always there to help you
I've been through several migrations using this service and I can tell nothing but best. The whole process and service are on point. The team is always there to help you. I like the fact that there are several options to migrate from one platform to another. There is no better service than this for sure.

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.
