Volusion to X-Cart
Your Volusion to X-Cart Migration in Detail
Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process, broken down into simple, manageable steps:
-
Connect Your Source Store: Volusion
Begin by selecting Volusion as your current e-commerce platform. For Volusion, you will typically connect by providing a data file (File Upload) that contains your store's information. Our wizard will guide you through uploading this file securely.

Connect Your Target Store: X-Cart
Next, specify X-Cart as your new e-commerce platform. For X-Cart, the connection is typically established by uploading a Cart2Cart Connection Bridge via FTP/SFTP to your X-Cart store's root directory. This bridge creates a secure link for data transfer.
