Your Squarespace to VirtueMart Migration in Detail

Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is a streamlined process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Follow these simple steps to transfer your Squarespace data to VirtueMart:

  1. Connect Your Source Squarespace Store

    Begin by selecting "Squarespace" as your Source Cart. Cart2Cart connects to Squarespace via an API, requiring appropriate credentials to securely access your store's data.

    A screenshot of the Cart2Cart migration wizard's 'Source Store Setup' page. It displays 'OpenCart' selected as the source store type, an input field for the OpenCart Admin URL, and the 'Provide Store Admin Access for Auto Upload' connection method selected with fields for Admin Login and Admin Password. The 'Next Step' button is highlighted in green.

  2. Connect Your Target VirtueMart Store

    Next, choose "VirtueMart" as your Target Cart. For VirtueMart, Cart2Cart utilizes a Connection Bridge. You will need to upload bridge files over FTP/SFTP to your VirtueMart store's root directory to establish a secure connection for data transfer.

Download and unpack connection_bridge.zip' with a 'Download Bridge' button, and '2. Upload 'bridge2cart' folder to your store's root (catalog) Read instructions'. An arrow points to the selected radio button for 'Upload Connection bridge'.

  3. Select Entities for Migration & Configure Options

    Choose the specific data entities you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, orders, and more. You can also select various additional options to customize your migration, including preserving SEO URLs, migrating customer passwords, and handling product quantities.

Navigation buttons for 'Previous Step', 'Skip Demo', and 'Start Demo Migration' are visible at the bottom.

  4. Run Free Demo Migration

Frequently Asked Questions about Squarespace to VirtueMart Migration

How long does a Squarespace to VirtueMart migration take?

The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data you are transferring. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for speed and efficiency. A free demo migration typically takes minutes, while a full migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. You can monitor the progress in real-time on your migration dashboard.

Will my Squarespace store experience downtime during the migration?

Cart2Cart's migration process is designed to minimize downtime. The data transfer runs in the background, allowing your Squarespace store to remain operational and accept new orders during most of the migration. We recommend a final data update during a low-traffic period to ensure all recent changes are captured.

You can migrate a wide range of entities, including Products, Product Categories, Customers, Customer Groups, Orders, Order Statuses, Coupons, Stores, Blogs, and CMS Pages. Our service aims to transfer all essential data to ensure your new VirtueMart store is fully functional.

Can I test the migration before moving all my data?

Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration that allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-15 products, customers, orders) to your VirtueMart test store. This helps you review the migration results, check data accuracy, and ensure everything meets your expectations before proceeding with a full 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.
