Your Step-by-Step WooCommerce to CSV Migration Process
Migrating your WooCommerce store data to a CSV file with Cart2Cart is a streamlined process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Follow these steps to get your data exported:
-
Connect Your WooCommerce Source Store
Begin by selecting WooCommerce as your Source Cart in the Cart2Cart migration wizard. You will then provide your WooCommerce store's URL and choose a connection method. Cart2Cart supports several secure options, including API Connection (using Consumer Key and Secret), Cart2Cart Bridge (via FTP/SFTP upload), or automatic bridge upload using your admin credentials. This step establishes a secure link for data extraction.
-
Define Your CSV Export Target
Next, select CSV File as your Target Cart. Unlike migrating to a live store, this step focuses on configuring how your WooCommerce data will be processed and formatted for export into downloadable CSV files. Cart2Cart will prepare your selected entities into a structured format, ready for you to download and use as needed. There's no direct 'connection' to a target store, as the output is a file.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
On the 'Entities Selection' page, you'll choose precisely which types of data you want to export from your WooCommerce store. You can select entities like Products, Customers, Orders, Product Categories, and more. Cart2Cart provides detailed field mapping information for each entity, ensuring you understand how your data will be structured in the resulting CSV files.
-
Configure Additional Options (Optional)
Enhance your CSV export by selecting additional migration options. These options allow for specific data handling, such as migrating images embedded in descriptions, preserving original order IDs, or adjusting product quantities. These choices will directly influence the content and structure of your exported CSV files.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration & Download Results
Before committing to a full export, run a free Demo Migration. This transfers a limited number of entities to a sample CSV file, allowing you to review the exported data for accuracy and completeness. Once the demo is complete, you can download the sample CSV files to verify the migration quality. If satisfied, proceed to the full migration to export all your selected WooCommerce data.

Frequently Asked Questions About WooCommerce to CSV Migration
How long does a WooCommerce to CSV migration take?
The duration of your WooCommerce to CSV migration largely depends on the total volume of data (number of products, customers, orders, etc.) you wish to export.
