Your Step-by-Step Migration Guide to Zen Cart

Migrating your store data from a CSV file to Zen Cart with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure a successful transfer:

  1. 1. Start a New Migration

    Begin by logging into your Cart2Cart account and clicking the 'Create New Migration' button. This will launch the migration wizard.

  2. 2. Connect Your Source CSV File

    Select 'CSV File' as your Source Cart Type. In the 'Resources list' section, you will upload your data files for the entities you wish to migrate (e.g., Products, Categories, Customers, Orders). Simply drag and drop your files or use the 'browse' option. The system will validate the file format and required headers.

  3. 3. Connect Your Target Zen Cart Store

    Choose 'Zen Cart' as your Target Cart Type. For Zen Cart, the recommended connection method is the Cart2Cart Bridge. Download the connection_bridge.zip file, unpack it, and upload the bridge2cart folder to your Zen Cart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This establishes a secure connection for data transfer.

It's a great way to preview the migration results and verify data accuracy before proceeding with a full transfer.

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.
