Your Step-by-Step CSV to CSV Migration Journey
Cart2Cart simplifies the intricate process of moving your store data from one CSV format to another. Follow these straightforward steps to prepare your data for a new e-commerce platform or a refined structure:
-
1. Provide General Information & Select Service Package
Begin by entering your name and email. Then, choose a Cart2Cart Data Migration Service Package (Basic, Extended, Premium, or Ultimate) that best fits the size and complexity of your data migration needs. Each package offers varying levels of dedicated support and technical assistance to ensure a qualitative and accurate data transfer.
-
2. Connect Your Source CSV File
Select 'CSV File' as your Source Shopping Cart. You will then upload your existing CSV file(s) containing your product, customer, or order data. Our system is designed to read and process your data efficiently.
-
3. Define Your Target CSV Structure
Select 'CSV File' as your Target Shopping Cart. In this step, you're preparing for the output. Cart2Cart will process your data and generate new CSV files tailored to your desired structure, ready for import into your new platform (e.g., Neto) or for further use.
-
4. Map Your Data Fields
This crucial step allows you to precisely match the fields from your Source CSV file to the corresponding fields in your Target CSV structure. You'll see a clear mapping interface where you can align product names, customer emails, order statuses, and other vital data points to ensure everything lands in the correct place.
-
5. Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with various additional options. These can include changing product quantities, migrating images embedded in descriptions, or handling short and full descriptions. Select the options that best suit your data transformation requirements.
-
6. Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, execute a free demo migration. This allows you to preview how a limited set of your data will be processed and formatted in the target CSV, ensuring accuracy and giving you confidence in the full migration.
-
7. Launch Your Full Data Migration
Once you're satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch your full CSV to CSV data migration. Our system will then process and generate your complete dataset, ready for your next steps.
What Data Can You Migrate from CSV File to CSV File?

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 free demo migration typically takes just a few minutes. For a full migration, Cart2Cart processes data efficiently, and our service packages offer dedicated technical assistance to expedite the process, ensuring a qualitative and accurate data transfer.
Will there be any downtime during the migration?
With Cart2Cart's CSV to CSV migration, there is generally no downtime for your existing store. Your source CSV data is extracted without interrupting your live operations. The new CSV files are generated offline, allowing you to prepare them for import into your new platform at your convenience, minimizing any impact on your business.
What data entities can be migrated from CSV to CSV?
You can migrate a wide range of entities including Products (with details like names, descriptions, SKUs, prices, stock, variants), Categories, Customers (with names, emails, addresses, groups), Orders (with IDs, statuses, purchased products), Manufacturers, Product Reviews, Coupons, CMS Pages, and Blog Posts, provided this data is present in your source CSV files.
Can I test the migration before committing to a full transfer?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration feature. You can run a demo to transfer a limited subset of your CSV data to a test environment or generate a sample target CSV. This allows you to review the migrated entities, verify data accuracy, and ensure everything is mapped correctly before proceeding with your full migration.
What if I encounter issues during or after the migration?
Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support throughout your migration journey. Our Data Migration Service Packages include a dedicated account manager and a team of technical engineers to assist with complex migrations or special customizations. Additionally, our Migration Insurance Plan offers options for re-migrations and data updates within 14 days post-migration, safeguarding against unforeseen issues.
Is it possible to roll back the migration if something goes wrong?
While Cart2Cart focuses on accurate data transfer, the nature of CSV to CSV migration means you always retain your original source CSV files. If you're importing the generated CSV into a new platform, you typically have options within that platform to undo imports or restore backups. Our Migration Insurance also provides re-migration options, giving you flexibility to correct issues.
How does Cart2Cart handle sensitive data like customer passwords?
If your source CSV contains customer password hashes and your target platform supports it, Cart2Cart offers an additional option to migrate customer passwords securely. This ensures customers can log into their new accounts using existing credentials, providing a seamless transition while adhering to security best practices.

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.
