VirtueMart to Zen Cart
Your Step-by-Step VirtueMart to Zen Cart Migration Journey
Cart2Cart simplifies your store migration into a few clear steps:
-
1. Connect Your VirtueMart Source Store
Begin by selecting VirtueMart as your Source Cart. You will need to provide your VirtueMart store's URL and establish a connection using the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload). This involves downloading the bridge files and uploading the 'bridge2cart' folder to your VirtueMart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP, ensuring a secure link for data extraction.
-
2. Connect Your Zen Cart Target Store
Next, choose Zen Cart as your Target Cart. Similar to the source store, you'll provide your Zen Cart store's URL and connect via the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload). Upload the bridge files to your Zen Cart's root directory to enable secure data import.

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.
