Your X-Cart to OpenCart Migration Process

Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to successfully transfer your X-Cart store to OpenCart:

  1. 1. Connect Your Source X-Cart Store

    Begin by selecting X-Cart as your Source Cart type. Provide your X-Cart store's URL. For connection, you will need to upload the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files via FTP/SFTP to your X-Cart store's root directory. This secure bridge facilitates data extraction.

    The initial view of the 'Source Store Info' page. It displays the 'Choose Source Shopping Cart' dropdown with 'WooCommerce' selected, along with input fields for Source Store URL, Source Store Admin URL, Source Admin Login, and Source Admin Password. An 'I don't have these details' checkbox is available for admin credentials.

  2. 2. Connect Your Target OpenCart Store

    Next, select OpenCart as your Target Cart type and enter your new OpenCart store's URL. For OpenCart, you have flexible connection options, including uploading the Cart2Cart Bridge via FTP/SFTP, or providing your OpenCart admin user credentials for an automatic bridge upload through the admin section.

  5. 5. Run a Free Demo Migration

Frequently Asked Questions about X-Cart to OpenCart Migration

How long does an X-Cart to OpenCart migration take?

The duration of your migration largely depends on the amount of data you need to transfer. A free demo migration typically takes just a few minutes. For a full migration, Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for efficiency, with most migrations completed within hours, though larger stores may take longer.

Will my X-Cart store experience downtime during the migration to OpenCart?

Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration feature. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your OpenCart store, or a Cart2Cart test store, so you can review the results and verify data accuracy before committing to a full migration.

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.
