Frequently Asked Questions about CSV to CSV Migration
How long does a CSV to CSV migration take?
The duration of your CSV to CSV migration largely depends on the volume and complexity of your data. A demo migration, which processes a small subset of your data, typically completes within minutes. A full migration can take anywhere from a few hours to several days for very large datasets. Our system provides real-time progress updates.
Will there be any downtime for my live store during a CSV to CSV migration?
No, since you are migrating data between CSV files, there is no direct impact on any live e-commerce store. Your current store operations will remain uninterrupted. Downtime considerations only apply when you are importing the generated CSVs into a live target platform.
What data entities can I migrate from CSV to CSV?
You can migrate a comprehensive range of entities including Products, Product Categories, Manufacturers, Customers, Orders (with statuses, fulfillment statuses, invoices, credit memos, shipments), Product Reviews, Coupons, CMS Pages, Blogs, Posts, and Tax Configurations. The actual data migrated depends on the content of your source CSV files and your selections.
Can I perform a demo migration for CSV to CSV?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration. This allows you to process a limited number of entities from your source CSVs and generate sample target CSVs. You can then download and review these files to verify the accuracy and structure of the migrated data before committing to a full migration.

Is there a way to re-run the migration or update data after the initial transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan (e.g., 1 remigration + 1 update) that allows you to re-run your migration or update data within a specified period after your initial full migration. This is useful for transferring new data or correcting any post-migration discrepancies.
How do I apply a discount coupon to my migration?
On the final step of the migration wizard, you will find an option to "I have discount coupon". Check this box, enter your valid coupon code in the provided field, and click "Apply" to receive a discount on your total migration cost, which may include additional bonuses.
