Shopware to OpenCart
Your Shopware to OpenCart Migration Process
Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is a straightforward, step-by-step process designed for efficiency and accuracy:
-
Connect Your Source Cart (Shopware)
Begin by providing your current Shopware store's URL. You will then establish a secure connection using the Cart2Cart Bridge, which you'll upload via FTP/SFTP to your Shopware root directory. This bridge acts as a secure gateway for data extraction.
-
Connect Your Target Cart (OpenCart)
Next, enter your new OpenCart store's URL. For connection, you can choose between uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge via FTP/SFTP, using your Platform Admin User Credentials for an automatic bridge upload, or manually uploading a Cart2Cart Bridge in a ZIP archive through your OpenCart admin section.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
Choose precisely which data entities you wish to transfer from Shopware to OpenCart. Our wizard presents a comprehensive list, including products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You have full control over what gets migrated.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with powerful, optional features. These include preserving SEO URLs, migrating customer passwords, clearing target store data, or ensuring images embedded in descriptions are transferred correctly.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, perform a free demo migration. This transfers a limited set of your data, allowing you to thoroughly review the results on your new OpenCart store and confirm everything is migrating as expected.

How long does a Shopware to OpenCart migration take?
The duration of your migration depends on the amount of data you have. A Free Demo Migration typically takes 15-30 minutes. A Full Migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process ensures the fastest possible transfer.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
No, Cart2Cart performs the migration in the background without affecting your live Shopware store. Your store remains fully operational, allowing you to continue selling and managing orders during the transfer. Minimal downtime may occur only during the final switch to your new OpenCart store.
What data can I migrate from Shopware to OpenCart?
You can migrate a wide array of entities including Products, Product Categories, Customers, Orders, Manufacturers, Product Reviews, CMS Pages, Coupons, Customer Groups, Order Statuses, Stores, and Taxes. Our service ensures a comprehensive transfer of your essential e-commerce data.
Can I perform a demo migration before the full transfer?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration that transfers a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your OpenCart store. This allows you to thoroughly review the migration results and ensure data accuracy before proceeding with a full migration.
What if I encounter issues during or after the migration?
Cart2Cart provides dedicated support to assist you at every stage. Our technical team is available to help troubleshoot any issues you might face. Additionally, we offer Migration Insurance plans that include free re-migrations and data updates to address unforeseen problems post-migration.
Can I roll back my store if something goes wrong?
While Cart2Cart aims for flawless migrations, we always recommend having a backup of your Shopware store before starting. In case of unexpected issues, you can restore your old store from the backup. For your new OpenCart store, if you selected the 'Clear current data' option, it provides a clean slate for re-migration if needed.
Are there any additional options to customize my migration?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers several additional options to tailor your migration, such as preserving SEO URLs, migrating customer passwords, changing product quantities, and transferring images embedded in descriptions. These options help ensure a more complete and personalized migration experience.
How does Cart2Cart ensure data security during migration?
Cart2Cart employs robust security measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure data handling protocols, and the use of connection bridges with unique security tokens. We do not store your sensitive data on our servers after the migration is complete, ensuring your information remains protected throughout the process.

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.
