  • volume of items to transfer -namely, the count of products, customers, and orders.
You can calculate the cost of your transfer with Cart2Cart using 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 permits to import a limited amount of data entities (up to 10 products, customers, orders and other data related to them) from BigCommerce to your new Zen Cart eCommerce platform in around 10-15 minutes. When you are happy with the Demo results, you can move on with the Full (paid) migration.

Will the migration impact my Source store sales process?

Absolutely not. The replatforming process doesn’t affect your Source shopping platform in any way. You can go on selling as usual while the data is being moved.

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

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

So, the data migration process is totally safe for the e-shop that is transferred 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 eCommerce platform.

The Cart2Cart migration service just “copies” the data from your BigCommerce store and imports it into the new Zen Cart one. It doesn’t harm the store in any way, so you can keep selling as usual.

I had a client who had a lot of items in a Yahoo Store. We needed to move it out of there and move to Zen Cart. The migration was extremely easy and we were very happy with our service.

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

Very thankful for my migration experience using this app to migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify!! The best decision that I made. My only regret is that I did not migrate to Shopify sooner. Would not have been able to successfully complete this migration with out Cart2Cart and very thankful that I did. If you are looking for a service to avoid the hassle of migrating an existing store to a new platform, this app is worth the investment!! Seemless and perfect transition. Managed to migrate my entire store in less than two weeks!!

The transition from Big Commerce to Shopify was made easy with the Cart2Cart App. I was able to transfer my customer data, previous orders and discount codes with no problem. The process was quick and easy and the optional insurance for re-migration in the event of an error is a great feature. I really appreciate how much this app has helped me.

I have used this app twice to migrate content from BigCommerce to Shopify. Both times it worked perfectly and saved me a ton of time over trying to transfer products and categories manually as the bulk upload features of both platforms is very different. Definitely worth the money!
