Your WIX to osCommerce Migration Process

Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process, broken down into a few simple steps:

  1. Connect Your Source WIX Store

    First, you'll specify WIX as your source platform. Cart2Cart connects to WIX via an API, requiring appropriate credentials to securely access your store's data. You'll provide your WIX store URL and API details to establish the connection.

  2. Connect Your Target osCommerce Store

    Next, select osCommerce as your target platform. For osCommerce, Cart2Cart typically connects using a Connection Bridge. You will download the bridge files from Cart2Cart, unpack them, and upload the 'bridge2cart' folder to your osCommerce store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This establishes a secure link for data import.

  3. Select Data Entities and Additional Options

    Once both stores are connected, you'll choose which data entities you want to migrate, such as products, customers, and orders. You can also select various additional options to customize your migration, like preserving IDs or migrating images from descriptions.

  4. Run Demo and Full Migration

    Before initiating the full migration, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This transfers a limited set of data, allowing you to review the results and ensure everything is transferred correctly. Once satisfied, you can proceed with the full, comprehensive migration of your entire store data.

How long does a WIX to osCommerce migration take?

The duration of your migration largely 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 efficiency, and you'll receive real-time updates on your migration progress.

Will my WIX store experience downtime during the migration to osCommerce?

No, Cart2Cart performs the migration without any impact on your live WIX store. Your current store remains fully operational throughout the data transfer, ensuring zero downtime and no disruption to your sales or customer experience. You can continue managing your WIX store until you are ready to switch to osCommerce.

What data can I migrate from WIX to osCommerce?

You can migrate a wide range of entities, including Products, Product Categories, Customers, Orders, Manufacturers, Order Statuses, and Stores. While WIX also supports Blogs and Posts, osCommerce does not have native support for these, so they would typically be skipped unless a custom migration is arranged. Please refer to the "Data You Can Migrate" section above for a detailed list.

Can I test the migration before moving all my data?

Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration that transfers a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) from your WIX store to osCommerce. This allows you to thoroughly review the migrated data on your new platform and ensure everything is transferred accurately before committing to a full migration.

What if I encounter issues during or after my WIX to osCommerce migration?

Cart2Cart provides comprehensive customer support to assist you at every step. If you face any challenges, our technical team is ready to help. Additionally, you can opt for our Migration Insurance Plan, which offers free re-migrations and data updates within a specified period, safeguarding your migration investment.

How does Cart2Cart connect to my WIX and osCommerce stores?

For your WIX source store, Cart2Cart connects via an API, requiring appropriate credentials. For your osCommerce target store, the connection is established by uploading a secure Connection Bridge (via FTP/SFTP) to your store's root directory. Both methods ensure secure and efficient data transfer.

Is it possible to preserve my SEO rankings during the migration?

Yes, Cart2Cart offers additional options to help preserve your SEO. You can select to "Migrate Categories and Products SEO URLs" and "Create 301 redirects on your target store after migration." These features help ensure that your old WIX URLs are redirected to the new osCommerce URLs, minimizing the impact on your search engine rankings and preventing broken links.

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.
