Your Step-by-Step Volusion to BigCommerce Migration Journey

Migrating your store data from Volusion to BigCommerce with Cart2Cart is designed to be straightforward and efficient. Here's a detailed look at the process:

  1. Connect Your Source Cart (Volusion)

    Begin by selecting Volusion as your Source Cart type in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. For Volusion, the primary connection method is File Upload. This involves exporting your data from Volusion into a file format that Cart2Cart can process. Once exported, you will upload this file to our system to establish the connection and allow data extraction.

  2. Connect Your Target Cart (BigCommerce)

    Next, choose BigCommerce as your Target Cart. Cart2Cart offers flexible connection methods for BigCommerce, including API Connection (requiring appropriate credentials like API Path, Access Token, and Client ID) or App / Module / Extension Installation. Follow the on-screen instructions to securely link your new BigCommerce store, ensuring Cart2Cart has the necessary permissions to import your data.

  3. Select Data Entities for Migration

    On the "Entities Selection" page, you'll choose precisely which data types you wish to migrate. Cart2Cart supports a wide range of entities, including products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You can select all available entities or pick specific ones based on your needs.

  4. Configure Additional Migration Options

    Enhance your migration with a variety of additional options. These features allow you to preserve crucial elements like SEO URLs, customer passwords, and order IDs. You can also opt to clear current data on your target store, change product quantities, or migrate images from descriptions. Review these options carefully to tailor the migration to your exact requirements.

  5. Run a Free Demo Migration

    Before committing to a full transfer, run a free Demo Migration. This allows you to migrate a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to your BigCommerce store. You can then review the migrated data on both the frontend and backend of your new store to ensure everything transferred accurately and as expected.

    Once you are satisfied with the Demo Migration results, proceed to launch your Full Migration. Cart2Cart will then transfer all your selected data from Volusion to BigCommerce. You can monitor the progress in real-time on the Full Results Review Page, which provides updates on each entity's migration status and a financial summary.
