How much does the data migration service cost?

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

Can I see how the service works without paying for it?

Yes, the Cart2Cart database migration service offers a free unlimited Demo Migration feature (test transfer). It allows to migrate a limited amount of data types (up to 10 products, customers, orders and other data related to them) from Zen Cart to your new Shopware platform in around 10-15 minutes. When you are happy with the Demo outcome, you can move on with the Full (paid) transfer.

Will the migration impact my Source store sales process?

Absolutely not. The transfer process doesn’t influence your existing shopping platform in any way. You can go on selling as usual while the data is being migrated.

Do I risk losing data from my existing Zen Cart store after the migration?

No, your migrated Zen Cart store data isn't influenced by the migration at all. Basically, 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 e-shop that is migrated and there is no risk of losing any of the info. We guarantee 100% uptime and data security during the migration via Cart2Cart database migration tool. In other words, you can keep selling while your Source Store data is being migrated to the new platform.

Does the migration process interfere with my Zen Cart store functionality?

No, the store data replatforming doesn’t affect either the speed, or the performance of your current Zen Cart e-shop. The Cart2Cart migration service just “copies” the records from your Zen Cart e-shop and “pastes” it into the new Shopware one. It doesn’t harm the e-shop in any way, so it can run as usual.

Really great service. We migrated an old Gambio shop to Shopware. The Shopware internal tool was not compatible to that Gambio version so we needed another tool to migrate products and customer data. The support of cart2cart was very nice and helped us with some issues we had with that old Gambio Version.

We will use the service of cart2cart in futures projects too!

Migrated from an old magento version to shopware. We had some custom issues concerning article variants, prices, images and so on. The support team was always very fast and capable. They did a great job on the adjustments. We definitely recommend Cart2Cart as a migration service!

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.

It’s amazing how Cart2Cart was able to move products (many with tons of variants), images, orders, and more flawlessly from ZenCart to Shopify. It saved many many hours of what would have been imperfect and frustrating labor. Bravo!

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.

We’re in the process of migrating from Zen Cart to Magento, and hoping to go live with the new site early in 2012. The shopping cart migration service was excellent. We were able to migrate about 1,000 products and about 2,500 customers within just a few hours (started migrating in the evening, and the migration was complete by the next morning). You should know that you can run the test migration multiple times to allow you to double-check your settings – this is a huge time saver. Also, after your migration has been completed, you can do incremental migrations that will only capture new data. We’ll be using this feature as we get closer to going live. Overall, I give this service a 10 out of 10. It was super easy to set up, and worked exactly as advertised. We’ll definitely be using it again and recommending it to others.
