How long does a CSV to BigCommerce migration take?

The duration of a migration depends on the volume of data and the complexity of your store. 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 and dedicated support aim to make it as efficient as possible.

Will there be any downtime during the migration?

With Cart2Cart, your current store remains fully operational throughout the migration process. We transfer a copy of your data, so your live store experiences no downtime. You can continue selling and managing your business without interruption until you're ready to switch to your new BigCommerce store.

What data can I migrate from CSV to BigCommerce?

You can migrate a comprehensive range of entities, including Products, Product Categories, Product Reviews, Customers, Customer Groups, Orders, Order Statuses, Manufacturers, Blogs, Posts, CMS Pages, Coupons, Stores (for multi-store setups), and Taxes. Our wizard allows you to select exactly what you need.

Can I test the migration before moving all my data?

Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration where you can transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your BigCommerce store. This allows you to review the migrated data on both the frontend and backend of your new store to ensure accuracy and satisfaction before proceeding with a full migration.

What if I need help during the migration?

Cart2Cart provides various levels of support. For complex migrations or those requiring special customizations, you can opt for our Data Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate). These packages include a dedicated account manager and a team of technical engineers to assist you throughout the process.

This provides a safety net for data integrity.

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.
