Your VirtueMart to CSV Export Process in Detail

  1. Connect Your VirtueMart Source Store

    Begin by selecting VirtueMart as your source platform in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. You'll then connect your store by uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your VirtueMart root directory. This secure bridge enables our service to access your store's data for export.

The 'Next Step' button is highlighted in green.

  2. Select Data for Export

    Choose the specific entities you wish to export from your VirtueMart store. Cart2Cart supports a comprehensive range of data, including products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You have full control over what data is included in your CSV files.

  3. Configure Additional Export Options

    Tailor your data export with various additional options. You can choose to structure product variants from attributes, include images from descriptions, preserve original IDs for categories, customers, and orders, or export SEO URLs. These options ensure your CSV files contain exactly the data you need, formatted to your specifications.

Navigation buttons for 'Previous Step', 'Skip Demo', and 'Start Demo Migration' are visible at the bottom.

  4. Run Demo Export & Full Export

    Initiate a free Demo Export to generate a sample of your VirtueMart data in CSV format. This allows you to review the file structure and data accuracy before committing to a full export. Once satisfied, proceed with the Full Export to receive all your selected VirtueMart data in ready-to-use CSV files.

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.
