Your VirtueMart to CSV Data Export in 6 Simple Steps
-
Connect Your VirtueMart Store: Begin by selecting VirtueMart as your Source Cart. You'll connect your store using the Cart2Cart Bridge, which involves uploading bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your VirtueMart root directory. This secure method allows our system to access your data.
-
Select Data for Export: Choose precisely which data entities you wish to export from your VirtueMart store. Options include products, categories, customers, orders, and more. This ensures you only transfer the information you need.
-
Configure Export Options: Enhance your data export by selecting additional options. These can include migrating images embedded in descriptions, creating product variants from options, preserving original IDs, and exporting SEO URLs.
-
Run a Free Demo Export (Optional): Before committing to a full export, run a free demo. This transfers a limited number of entities to CSV, allowing you to review the file structure and data accuracy.
-
Review & Download Demo Files: After the demo, you'll be able to inspect the exported CSV files. This step is crucial for verifying that your data is formatted correctly and includes all necessary information before proceeding with the full export.
-
Perform Full Data Export: Once satisfied with the demo, proceed with the full data export. Cart2Cart will process all your selected VirtueMart data and make it available for download as comprehensive CSV files.

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.
