Your Step-by-Step Migration to X-Cart

Migrating your store data from CSV files to X-Cart with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process. Follow these key steps for a successful transfer:

  1. Connect Your Source (CSV File)

    Begin by selecting 'CSV File' as your Source Cart type in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. You will then upload your CSV files containing your product, customer, order, and other relevant data. Our system is designed to process your files efficiently.

  2. Connect Your Target (X-Cart)

    Next, choose 'X-Cart' as your Target Cart. You will need to provide your X-Cart store's URL and establish a connection using the Cart2Cart Bridge. This involves downloading the bridge files and uploading the 'bridge2cart' folder to your X-Cart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This secure connection allows Cart2Cart to import your data.

An arrow points to the selected radio button for 'Upload Connection bridge'.
  3. Select Data Entities for Migration

    Once connected, you'll be presented with a list of data entities available for migration. Choose the specific entities you wish to transfer to your X-Cart store, such as products, categories, customers, orders, and more. You can also review detailed field mapping for each entity.

Navigation buttons for 'Previous Step', 'Skip Demo', and 'Start Demo Migration' are visible at the bottom.
  5. Run a Free Demo Migration

    Before committing to a full transfer, perform a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited set of data to a Cart2Cart test store or your X-Cart store, enabling you to preview the results and ensure everything migrates correctly. This step builds confidence in the process.

Cart2Cart will automatically transfer all your selected data to your new X-Cart store, ensuring a complete and accurate transition. You can monitor the progress in real-time on the Full Results Review Page.

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.
