Your VirtueMart to WIX Migration in 4 Simple Steps:

  1. Connect Your Source VirtueMart Store

    Begin by selecting VirtueMart as your Source Cart. You will then need to provide your VirtueMart store's URL and establish a connection using the Cart2Cart Bridge. This involves downloading a connection_bridge.zip file, unpacking it, and uploading the bridge2cart folder to your VirtueMart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP.

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.
