VirtueMart to 3DCart
Your VirtueMart to CSV Export Process in Detail
-
Connect Your VirtueMart Store
Begin by selecting VirtueMart as your Source Cart in the Cart2Cart migration wizard. You will then need to provide your VirtueMart store's URL. To establish a secure connection for data extraction, utilize the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload) method. This involves downloading our bridge files and uploading the 'bridge2cart' folder to your VirtueMart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP.
-
Choose CSV File as Your Target
Next, select "CSV File" as your Target Cart. Cart2Cart will then prepare to process and generate your VirtueMart store data into a downloadable CSV format, tailored for easy access and re-import.
-
Select Data Entities for Export
Gain granular control over your export by choosing precisely which data entities you wish to extract from your VirtueMart store. This includes essential information such as Products, Product Categories, Customers, Orders, Manufacturers, and more. You can select only the data relevant to your needs.
-
Configure Additional Export Options
Customize your CSV export further with a range of additional options. These can include migrating images embedded within descriptions, preserving original IDs for future data consistency, or structuring product variants based on attributes, ensuring your exported data meets your specific requirements.
-
Run Demo Export & Full Export
We recommend starting with a free Demo Export. This allows you to export a limited sample of your VirtueMart data to a CSV file, giving you the opportunity to review the data structure and verify its accuracy. Once you are completely satisfied with the demo results, you can proceed with the Full Export to generate a complete CSV file of your entire VirtueMart store data.

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.
