Your Migration Journey to X-Cart in Detail

Migrating your store data from a CSV file to X-Cart with Cart2Cart is a streamlined process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. Select Source (CSV File) and Target (X-Cart) Platforms

    Begin by selecting "CSV File" as your Source Cart type and "X-Cart" as your Target Cart. This initial setup defines the platforms for your migration.

  2. Connect Your Target Store (X-Cart)

    For self-hosted platforms like X-Cart, you'll typically connect by uploading a Connection Bridge. Download the connection_bridge.zip file from the Cart2Cart wizard, unpack it, and upload the bridge2cart folder to your X-Cart store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This establishes a secure link for data transfer.

  3. Upload CSV Data and Select Entities

    In the "Entities Selection" step, you will upload your CSV data files. Cart2Cart's "Resources list" allows you to drag-and-drop or browse for your data files for various entities. Once uploaded, you can precisely choose which data types (e.g., products, customers, orders) you wish to migrate. Cart2Cart will display available entities based on your CSV file's content and X-Cart's capabilities.

  4. Configure Additional Options and Run Migration

    After selecting your entities, you can choose various "Additional Options" to tailor your migration, such as preserving IDs, migrating SEO URLs, or handling product variants. We highly recommend running a free Demo Migration first, which transfers a limited set of your data to X-Cart for review. Once satisfied, you can proceed to "Setup Full Migration" to transfer all your selected data to your new X-Cart store.

Data You Can Migrate from CSV File to X-Cart

Cart2Cart supports the migration of a comprehensive range of data entities from your CSV file to your new X-Cart store, ensuring a complete transfer of your e-commerce ecosystem:

  • CMS Pages: Transfer static content like "About Us" or "Contact Us" pages.
  • Coupons: Migrate your promotional offers and discount codes.
  • Customer Groups: Preserve customer segmentation and roles.
  • Customers: Transfer customer accounts with their details.

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.
