To determine if the service can migrate your Zen Cart e-store customers to Zen Cart, please check the list of transferable entities. Then, simply tick the Customers checkbox while configuring the import in the Migration Wizard to indicate you’d like to move the customer data.

  1. Go to to your Cart2Cart account.
  2. Step to My Migrations List.

  4. Once ready, go back to the second step of the Migration Wizard "Demo Migration" and just activate "Start Demo Migration" button. The Demo store data transfer will start over again.

How much do you charge for the migration service?

The Cart2Cart pricing is flexible. The migration price depends on:
  • source platform type (the one you transfer from)
  • target platform type (the one you migrate to)
  • number of items to import -namely, the count of products, customers, and orders.
You can count the price of your migration with Cart2Cart via the Migration Estimator.

Is it possible to try the Cart2Cart migration tool for free?

Yes, the Cart2Cart database migration service provides a free unlimited Demo Migration feature (test transfer). It makes it possible to import a limited amount of data records (up to 10 products, customers, orders and other data related to them) from Zen Cart to your new Zen Cart eCommerce platform in around 10-15 minutes. When you are satisfied with the Demo results, you can go on with the Full (paid) replatforming.

Can the migration negatively influence my running store?

Absolutely not. The transfer process doesn’t affect your current shopping cart in any way. You can go on selling as always while the data is being exported.

Will my Zen Cart store data be affected by the migration?

No, your migrated Zen Cart e-store info isn't impacted by the transfer at all. Actually, the data (products, customers, order history, etc.) is simply “copied”(exported) from Zen Cart and “pasted” (imported) into your new store database.

So, the data transfer process is totally secure for the eCommerce website that is transferred and there is zero risk of losing any of the info. We guarantee 100% uptime and data security during the migration with the help of Cart2Cart database migration tool. In other words, you can keep selling while your Source Store data is being transferred to the new eCommerce platform.

Does the data migration process influence my Zen Cart store performance?

No, the database transfer doesn’t impact either the speed, or the performance of your current Zen Cart eCommerce website. The Cart2Cart migration service just exports the info from your Zen Cart eCommerce website and “pastes” it into the new Zen Cart one. It doesn’t affect the eCommerce website in any way, so it can run as usual.

Just wanted to say what a fantastic service this is. Saved me hours of work and helped me to transfer my products and attributes to CS Cart from Zencart.



The support provided is also fantastic and helped me sort out my issues very quickly. I will be using this service again and highly recommend it to anyone. It’s a lot easier than messing about with Easy Populate and CSV files.



Thanks again for this great service and top notch support

I had close to 8,000 products in a ZenCart store that I needed to migrate to Shopify. C2C did it all for me quickly and inexpensively. It’s the best solution out there that I’ve found to move from one eCommerce platform to another.

I’ve used the service/software for two website migrations (ZenCart to WooCommerce). The second one failed, also because of my own error, but the supprt was great and Cart2Cart team helped getting it all working flawless.



Very impressed by this software and even more by the aftersales support. Will use again when needed.

We switched from ZenCart to 3DCart and was skeptical about doing the manual migration but Cart2Cart was there with technical online chat every step of the way and it was a smooth, easy and affordable transition. THANK YOU so much! Your support technicians were friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.
