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:

  1. 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 bridge2cart folder to your Shopware store's root directory via FTP/SFTP.

    Connect Source Shopware Store
  2. 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 bridge2cart folder to your osCommerce store's root directory via FTP/SFTP.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

Customize your Shopware to osCommerce migration with these powerful additional options, available to ensure a precise and tailored data transfer:

  • Clear current data on Target Store before Migration: Start with a clean slate by removing existing data from your osCommerce store before the migration begins. This is often a prerequisite for preserving IDs.
  • Migrate Short & Full descriptions: Combine and transfer both short and full product descriptions from Shopware into the main description field of osCommerce.
  • Migrate images from descriptions: Ensure all images embedded within your product, category, and blog descriptions are transferred to osCommerce.
  • Change products quantity to 100 on Target Store: Automatically set the quantity of out-of-stock products to 100 on your osCommerce store, making them visible and purchasable.
  • Preserve Category IDs: Maintain your original category IDs on the osCommerce store for consistent record-keeping and SEO.
  • Preserve Customer IDs: Keep your existing customer IDs intact on osCommerce, crucial for loyalty programs and integrations.
  • Preserve Order IDs: Transfer your order numbers exactly as they are from Shopware to osCommerce, simplifying order management.
  • Preserve Product IDs: Ensure your product IDs remain the same on the target osCommerce store, vital for inventory management and external tools.

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.
