Your X-Cart to CSV File Migration Process

Migrating your X-Cart store data to a CSV file with Cart2Cart is a streamlined, step-by-step process designed for accuracy and ease. Here’s how it works:

  1. Connect Your X-Cart Source Store

    Begin by selecting X-Cart as your Source Cart type. You will then need to establish a connection using the Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP Upload) method. This involves downloading a unique bridge file from Cart2Cart, unpacking it, and uploading the bridge2cart folder to your X-Cart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This secure bridge enables Cart2Cart to access your data.

  2. Select CSV File as Your Target Output

    Next, choose CSV File as your Target Cart type. Since you are exporting data to a file, there are no connection credentials to provide for a live target store. This step simply confirms your desired output format for the migration.

  3. Choose Data Entities for Migration

    Specify exactly which data you want to export from your X-Cart store. Cart2Cart allows you to select various entities like products, customers, orders, and more. You have granular control to include only the data relevant to your needs.

  5. Run a Free Demo Migration & Review Results

    We highly recommend running a free demo migration first. This transfers a limited number of entities to a CSV file, allowing you to download and inspect the data. You can verify the accuracy and structure of the exported information before committing to a full migration.

Customize your data export with Cart2Cart's powerful additional options, ensuring your CSV files contain precisely the data you need, formatted optimally:

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.
