Your VirtueMart to CSV Export Process with Cart2Cart
Exporting your VirtueMart store data to CSV files is a straightforward process with Cart2Cart. Follow these steps to prepare and download your data:
-
Connect Your VirtueMart Source Store
Begin by selecting VirtueMart as your Source Cart. Provide your VirtueMart store's URL. To establish a secure connection, you will need to use the Cart2Cart Bridge method. Download the bridge files, unpack them, and upload the
bridge2cartfolder to your VirtueMart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. -
Select Data Entities for Export
On the "Entities Selection" page, choose which types of data you wish to export from your VirtueMart store. You can select specific entities like products, customers, orders, and more. Cart2Cart allows you to precisely control what data is included in your CSV export.
-
Configure Additional Export Options
Customize your data export by selecting additional options. These features can help prepare your data for specific target platforms or ensure certain data characteristics are maintained in the CSV files, such as including images from descriptions or preserving SEO URLs (data will be included in CSV for these options, not applied to a target store directly).
-
Run Demo Export & Review Results
Before a full export, we highly recommend running a free Demo Export. This transfers a limited number of entities, allowing you to review the structure and accuracy of the generated CSV files. On the Demo Results Review page, you'll find links to download the sample CSV files for verification.
-
Start Full Data Export & Download Files
Once you're satisfied with the demo results, proceed with the Full Data Export. Cart2Cart will process all your selected VirtueMart data and generate comprehensive CSV files. Upon completion, you can download all your exported VirtueMart data in CSV format, ready for your intended use.

A VirtueMart to CSV migration with Cart2Cart is essentially a comprehensive data export process. We extract your selected store entities (like products, customers, orders) from your VirtueMart platform and provide them to you in a structured CSV (Comma Separated Values) file format. This allows for flexible data management, backup, or preparation for import into any e-commerce platform that supports CSV data uploads.

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.
