How long does a CSV to CSV migration take?
The duration of a CSV to CSV migration depends on the volume and complexity of your data. A demo migration, which transfers a small subset of data, typically takes minutes. A full migration can range from a few hours for smaller stores (e.g., ~1000 entities with a Basic Package) to several days for very large or intricate projects (Ultimate Package).
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
Cart2Cart's migration process is designed to minimize or eliminate downtime. Your source store remains fully operational during the data extraction. The target CSV preparation and eventual import can be managed to avoid impacting your live store, allowing for a seamless transition.
What data can I migrate from CSV to CSV?

Our service also supports custom field mapping for unique data requirements.
Can I perform a demo migration for CSV to CSV?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities from your source CSV to a target CSV format, enabling you to review the accuracy and structure of the migrated data before committing to a full migration. You can even use a Cart2Cart test store for preview if you don't have a target platform ready.
What kind of support does Cart2Cart offer for CSV migrations?
Our Data Migration Service Packages provide professional assistance, including a dedicated account manager and a team of technical engineers.

Is there a way to re-migrate data or get insurance for my migration?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers Migration Insurance Plans (e.g., 1 remigration + 1 update) that allow you to re-run your migration or update data within a specified period after the initial full migration. This acts as a safety net against unforeseen issues or new data appearing in your source store.

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.
