Your Shopware to osCommerce Migration in 4 Simple Steps
Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly. Follow these four steps to transfer your Shopware store to osCommerce:
-
Connect Your Source Shopware Store
First, specify Shopware as your Source Cart. Provide your Shopware store's URL and establish a connection using the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload) method. You'll download a bridge file, unpack it, and upload the
bridge2cartfolder to your Shopware store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. -
Connect Your Target osCommerce Store
Next, select osCommerce as your Target Cart. Enter your new osCommerce store's URL and connect it using the same Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload) method. Download the bridge, unpack it, and upload the
bridge2cartfolder to your osCommerce store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. -
Select Data Entities and Configure Additional Options
Choose the specific data entities you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, and orders. Cart2Cart provides a clear interface to select these. Additionally, customize your migration with various additional options to ensure a tailored transfer, including preserving IDs, migrating images, and more.
-
Run Demo and Full Migration
Before committing to a full migration, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This transfers a limited set of data, allowing you to review the results on your osCommerce store and ensure everything is transferred correctly. Once satisfied, proceed with the Full Migration to transfer all your selected data.
What Data Can Be Migrated from Shopware to osCommerce?
Cart2Cart ensures a comprehensive transfer of your essential e-commerce data. For your Shopware to osCommerce migration, you can seamlessly move the following entities:
- Product Data: Products, Product Categories, Manufacturers, Product Reviews
- Customer Data: Customers, Customer Groups
- Order Data: Orders, Orders Status
- Store Data: Stores, Taxes
Important Considerations:
- CMS Pages & Coupons: While Shopware supports CMS Pages and Coupons, osCommerce does not natively support these entities for direct migration. Manual re-creation or alternative solutions may be required post-migration.
