A full migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for maximum speed and efficiency.

Will my store experience downtime during the 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.
