Your Step-by-Step Migration from CSV File to osCommerce
Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is designed to be straightforward and efficient. Here's a detailed breakdown of the process:
-
Set Up Source & Target Carts: Begin by selecting 'CSV File' as your Source Cart and 'osCommerce' as your Target Cart in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. This defines the starting and ending points of your data transfer.
-
Upload Your CSV File: For your source store, you will upload the CSV file(s) containing your product, customer, or other relevant data directly to our system. Our wizard will guide you through the file upload process.
-
Connect Your osCommerce Store: To establish a connection with your osCommerce target store, you will use the Cart2Cart Bridge. This involves downloading the bridge files from our wizard, unpacking them, and uploading the
bridge2cartfolder to your osCommerce store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This secure bridge enables data import into your new store. -
Select Data Entities & Additional Options: Choose which specific data entities you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, and orders. You can also select from a range of additional options to customize your migration, like preserving IDs or migrating images from descriptions.
-
Map Your Data Fields: Given that your source is a CSV file, a crucial step is to map the fields from your CSV columns to the corresponding fields in your osCommerce store. This ensures that all your data lands in the correct place on the target platform.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration: Before initiating the full transfer, run a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities to your osCommerce store, enabling you to review the results and ensure everything is migrated correctly.
-
Launch Full Migration: Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch your full data migration. Cart2Cart will transfer all your selected data from the CSV File to your new osCommerce store.

How long does a migration from CSV File to osCommerce take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data you are transferring. A free demo migration, which transfers a limited number of entities, typically takes only a few minutes. A full migration can range from a few hours to several days, depending on the complexity and size of your CSV File and the number of entities selected.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
Cart2Cart performs the migration on its own servers, meaning your current CSV data source and your osCommerce target store can remain fully operational throughout most of the process. We recommend performing a final data synchronization (delta migration) and making your new osCommerce store live during off-peak hours to ensure minimal to no impact on your customers.
What data can I migrate from CSV File to osCommerce?
You can migrate a comprehensive range of data, including Customer Groups, Customers, Manufacturers, Orders, Orders Status, Product Categories, Products, Reviews, Stores, and Taxes. Our flexible mapping options ensure that your CSV data is accurately aligned with osCommerce's structure.
Can I test the migration before committing to a full transfer?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of your actual data entities (e.g., a few products, customers, and orders) from your CSV File to your osCommerce store. This way, you can thoroughly review the migration results and ensure everything is transferred correctly before proceeding with a full migration.
What if I encounter issues during the migration?
Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support to ensure a smooth migration. If you encounter any issues, our dedicated support team is available to assist you. We also offer various Migration Insurance Plans and Data Migration Service Packages for additional assistance, re-migrations, and data updates.
Does osCommerce support multiple languages, and can I migrate them?
Yes, osCommerce supports multiple languages. Cart2Cart's migration service is designed to handle multiple language configurations, ensuring that your international store data is transferred accurately to your new osCommerce platform.
What connection method is used for osCommerce?
For osCommerce, Cart2Cart uses the secure Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload) connection method. This involves downloading a small set of bridge files from our wizard and uploading them via FTP/SFTP to the root directory of your osCommerce store. This bridge facilitates a secure and reliable data transfer.
Can I preserve my original IDs (e.g., product, order, customer IDs) during the migration?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers additional options to preserve original IDs for various entities, including category IDs, customer IDs, order IDs, and product IDs. Selecting these options ensures that your identifiers remain consistent on your new osCommerce store, which is crucial for record-keeping and existing integrations. Note that some ID preservation options may require clearing existing data on the target store before migration.

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.
