This is my first use of Cart2Cart migration process and this company is awesome! My company managed lots of migration manually before trying C2C and actually we love them. Support is the best ever (thank all!) and service is A +++.
Review source
Amazing level of patience and professionalism from Cart2Cart working with our team to perform a very difficult import for a client that has been start and stop for over 2 years!! Their team gets back to questions with technical fixes within 24 hours in most cases and we are finally wrapping it up! Thank you for all you’ve done to help get this project to completion.

I can't praise the Cart2Cart team enough. They really took care to make sure our very large migration was a success. I would highly recommend them!
Review source
Absolute BEST! Very inexpensive (was quoted $1500 from another design company, compared to only $140), lightning fast speed with their responses, knowledgeable, and of course saved me a ton of quality time I don’t have. Will be using them again for an additional website.

Used Cart2Cart to migrate https://www.tesland.com. Ideal saves you a ton of time. Even have the option to do it multiple times so you can set up the new site with the correct data in it. And then before you go live with the new site, you can import the latest data again.

xt:Commerce Monthly Pulse: Driving Reliability and Compliance in the DACH E-commerce Landscape
This month’s analysis of xt:Commerce highlights a platform that is doubling down on its core strengths of technical stability and legal compliance for the European market. While the global e-commerce software market is projected to reach 13.10 billion USD by 2026, xt:Commerce is maintaining a disciplined focus on its primary user base, ensuring that its architectural evolution aligns with the rigorous demands of mid-market merchants in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The platform's recent trajectory suggests a strategic pivot toward infrastructure hardening, prioritizing performance and regulatory readiness over experimental feature bloat.
Industry Footprint and Regional Dominance
xt:Commerce continues to hold a significant market share of 0.14 percent within the global eCommerce platform category, representing approximately 6,402 active customers. Its influence is overwhelmingly concentrated in the DACH region, with 90.96 percent of its customers located in Germany. This localized dominance is reinforced by over 150,000 historical installations, positioning the platform as a trusted, veteran alternative to the more volatile SaaS giants. By focusing on high-value industry verticals like Home and Garden (16.2%) and Apparel (8.6%), xt:Commerce remains a staple for established retailers who prioritize self-hosted control and data sovereignty.
Infrastructure Resilience and Modernization
The recent release of version 6.6.0 marks a critical step in the platform's performance optimization lifecycle. By implementing extensive adaptations for PHP 8.3 and upgrading core libraries to Smarty 5, xt:Commerce is ensuring that its technical foundation remains compatible with modern server environments. These updates are not merely maintenance; they provide a scalable runway for high-volume merchants, reducing server latency and enhancing the overall security posture of the application. The transition to these newer technologies reflects a commitment to minimizing "modernization debt" for its long-term user base.
Developer Empowerment and Plugin Autonomy
A transformative shift is occurring within the xt:Commerce developer ecosystem through the introduction of automatic plugin updates and auto-downloads from the XT-Server. With 74 unique technologies and over 4,185 collective installs tracked, the ability to maintain seamless third-party integrations is paramount. This automation reduces the administrative overhead for developers and store owners alike, ensuring that critical connectors for tools like PayPal Checkout, Apple Pay, and Google Pay remain functional and secure without manual intervention, thereby fostering a more agile customization environment.
Flagship Innovation: Next-Generation Media Handling
The platform has recently introduced native WebP support, a pivotal enhancement for modern storefront aesthetics and SEO. By enabling more efficient image compression without sacrificing visual quality, xt:Commerce is directly addressing Core Web Vitals and mobile user experience. This feature is particularly vital for the 17.7% of xt:Commerce stores that manage catalogs of 100-249 products, as optimized media handling leads to faster page loads and improved conversion rates in an increasingly mobile-first shopping environment.
Regulatory Trust and Global Compliance Standards
xt:Commerce is distinguishing itself through proactive compliance engineering, specifically regarding the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). The introduction of mandatory manufacturer identification fields and compliance-responsible addresses ensures that merchants are prepared for the new legal requirements taking effect in June 2026. This focus on legal-ready e-commerce provides a robust trust framework for enterprise-level operators who must navigate the complex regulatory landscape of the European Union without fear of administrative penalties.
Strategic Expansion and Service-Sector Diversification
While its roots remain firmly in the DACH region, xt:Commerce is seeing a steady expansion into Austria and Switzerland, which now account for a combined 7.9% of its customer base. The platform's support for multilingual and multicurrency operations, combined with refined tax detail workflows and neutral salutation options, signals an evolution toward a more inclusive and globally-aware commerce engine. This enables regional brands to scale across borders within Europe while maintaining the bespoke brand identity that the platform's flexible templating system allows.
Enterprise Migration: The Quest for Ownership
We are observing a consistent trend of "built-to-sell" brands and established family businesses migrating to xt:Commerce 6 PRO to escape the recurring cost structures of SaaS models. These brands, often moving from entry-level editions or legacy versions like Veyton, are drawn to the complete source code ownership and the absence of transaction fees. By providing a stable, high-performance environment that supports up to 100,000 products, xt:Commerce has become a preferred destination for merchants who view their e-commerce infrastructure as a long-term capital asset rather than a temporary service subscription.
