Your Volusion to VirtueMart Migration in Detail

Migrating your store data from Volusion to VirtueMart with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process, guided by our intuitive wizard. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. Connect Your Source Cart (Volusion)

  2. Connect Your Target Cart (VirtueMart)

    Next, choose VirtueMart as your new shopping cart. For VirtueMart, the connection is established by uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your store's root directory. This secure bridge allows for seamless data import.

Frequently Asked Questions about Volusion to VirtueMart Migration

Q: How long does a Volusion to VirtueMart migration take?

The duration of your migration depends on the volume of data you need to transfer. A free demo migration typically takes 15-30 minutes. A full migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process ensures the fastest possible transfer.

Q: Will my store experience downtime during the migration?

No, Cart2Cart performs the migration on a copy of your database, ensuring your live Volusion store remains fully operational throughout the process. Minimal downtime might occur only during the final DNS switch to your new VirtueMart store, which can be scheduled during off-peak hours.

Q: What data can I migrate from Volusion to VirtueMart?

You can migrate a wide range of entities including products, product categories, customers, customer groups, orders, order statuses, manufacturers, product reviews, stores, taxes, coupons, and gift cards. Refer to the 'What Data You Can Migrate' section above for a complete list.

Q: Can I try a demo migration before committing to a full transfer?

Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration that allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your VirtueMart store. This is a great way to preview the results and ensure data accuracy before purchasing the full migration.

Cart2Cart provides comprehensive support. You can reach out to our customer service team via live chat, phone, or ticket system. For complex migrations or hands-off assistance, consider our Migration Service Packages, which include a dedicated account manager and technical engineers.

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.
