Your CSV to PrestaShop Migration Journey with Cart2Cart
Migrating your store data from a CSV file to PrestaShop is made simple with our intuitive 6-step wizard. Here’s how your data transfer will unfold:
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart. You will then upload your prepared CSV files containing your product, customer, and order data. Our system validates the file format and checks for mandatory headers to ensure a smooth import.
-
Connect Your Target (PrestaShop)
Next, choose "PrestaShop" as your Target Cart. You'll need to provide your PrestaShop store's URL. For connection, you can typically use the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload), where you download a bridge file, unpack it, and upload the 'bridge2cart' folder to your PrestaShop root directory via FTP/SFTP.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Once connected, you'll be presented with a list of data entities available for migration. Simply check the boxes next to the data types you wish to transfer, such as Products, Customers, Orders, and Categories.
-
Configure Additional Options & Map Data
Customize your migration further by selecting additional options like preserving SEO URLs, migrating images in descriptions, or transferring customer passwords. For CSV migrations, you'll also map your source CSV fields to the corresponding PrestaShop fields to ensure data accuracy.
-
