Your CSV File to WooCommerce Migration in 4 Simple Steps
Cart2Cart simplifies your data migration journey. Follow these steps to move your store data to WooCommerce:
-
1. Upload Your CSV File
Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. You will then be prompted to upload your prepared CSV files containing your store data. Our system will analyze the files, preparing them for mapping to your new WooCommerce store. This process is typically handled through the 'Resources List' section during entity selection.
-
2. Connect Your WooCommerce Target Store
Next, specify "WooCommerce" as your Target Cart. You'll need to provide your WooCommerce store's URL and choose a connection method. For WooCommerce, common methods include installing a dedicated add-on from the marketplace, providing API access credentials (Consumer Key and Consumer Secret), or using admin access for an auto-upload bridge. Follow the on-screen instructions to establish a secure connection.
-
3. Select Data Entities & Map Fields
Choose the specific data entities you wish to migrate from your CSV files to WooCommerce, such as products, customers, and orders. Cart2Cart provides a flexible mapping interface, allowing you to align your CSV column headers with the corresponding fields in WooCommerce. This ensures all your data is transferred accurately.
-
4. Configure Additional Options & Run Migration
Enhance your migration with various additional options, such as migrating images from descriptions, preserving order IDs, or creating 301 redirects for SEO. Once configured, you can run a free Demo Migration to see a limited transfer of your data, or proceed directly to the Full Migration.
After your migration is complete, review the results on the dedicated page, where you can verify migrated entities and provide feedback.

How long does a CSV to WooCommerce migration take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data in your CSV files and the number of entities you choose to transfer. A 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 is designed for efficiency.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
No, Cart2Cart performs the migration on a copy of your data, meaning your current CSV files and existing WooCommerce store (if any data is present) remain fully operational throughout the process. There is no downtime for your live store during the data transfer itself.
What data can I migrate from my CSV file to WooCommerce?
You can migrate a wide array of entities, including Products, Product Categories, Customers, Orders, Coupons, Reviews, Manufacturers, Blogs, Posts, CMS Pages, Customer Groups, Order Statuses, Stores (for multi-store setups), and Taxes. You have full control to select which entities to transfer.
Can I perform a demo migration before the full transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart highly recommends performing a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to a Cart2Cart test store or your actual WooCommerce store. It's a crucial step to verify data accuracy and ensure everything migrates as expected before committing to a full migration.
What support options does Cart2Cart offer for CSV to WooCommerce migration?
Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support, including a detailed knowledge base, live chat, and email assistance. For complex migrations or those requiring custom solutions, we offer various Data Migration Service Packages (Basic, Extended, Premium, Ultimate) with dedicated account managers and technical engineers.
What happens if I need to re-migrate or update data after the initial transfer?
Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan, which includes options for re-migrations and data updates within a specified period (e.g., 14 days after full migration). This allows you to transfer any new data that appeared in your source CSV or re-run the migration if unforeseen issues arise, ensuring data integrity.
How do I connect my WooCommerce store to Cart2Cart?
For your WooCommerce target store, you can connect using several methods: installing the Cart2Cart add-on from the marketplace, providing API access credentials (Consumer Key and Consumer Secret), or using your admin login/password for an auto-upload bridge. Detailed instructions are provided in the migration wizard.
Is it possible to preserve customer passwords and order IDs?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers additional options to preserve customer passwords and original order IDs during your migration to WooCommerce. Enabling these options helps maintain a seamless customer experience and consistent internal record-keeping. Note that preserving order IDs often requires clearing existing data on the target store before migration.

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.
