Frequently Asked Questions

Will my Big Cartel store go offline during migration to OpenCart?

No, your Big Cartel store remains fully operational. The migration to OpenCart is processed on a secure external server using Big Cartel's API (with the Cart2Cart BigCartel Migration App) and an OpenCart Connection Bridge. This ensures zero downtime. Your store's availability is protected.

What factors influence the cost of migrating from Big Cartel to OpenCart?

The cost of migrating from Big Cartel to OpenCart depends on the number of entities (products, customers, orders), any additional options selected (e.g., 301 redirects, preserving IDs), and the complexity of data. Big Cartel's API rate limits can also influence migration complexity and, thus, the overall cost. Get a precise quote with a free estimation.

Is my data secure when migrating my Big Cartel store to OpenCart?

Absolutely. Data security is our top priority. We use secure, encrypted connections (API for Big Cartel) and your data is processed on isolated servers. We never store your credentials or sensitive information. Review our Security Policy for full details on our data protection measures during your OpenCart migration.

What data can I migrate from Big Cartel to OpenCart?

You can transfer products, customers, orders, categories, product images, and more from Big Cartel to OpenCart. Be aware that Big Cartel's API may impose rate limits affecting large data transfers. We ensure comprehensive data transfer, covering essential store entities. Explore all migratable entities.

How can I ensure data accuracy after migrating from Big Cartel to OpenCart?

We recommend performing a free Demo Migration to preview a subset of your Big Cartel data on OpenCart and verify its accuracy. After the Full Migration, a thorough post-migration audit of your new OpenCart store is crucial to ensure all data is intact and correct.

Can customer passwords be migrated from Big Cartel to OpenCart?

Yes, customer passwords can typically be migrated from Big Cartel to OpenCart. We use a secure method to transfer encrypted passwords, allowing your customers to log into their new OpenCart accounts without needing to reset them.

For complex customizations, specific data mapping, or very large stores, our Ultimate Data Migration Service provides expert assistance, combining automation with professional oversight for a seamless transition.

Will my Big Cartel store's design transfer automatically to OpenCart?

No, your Big Cartel store's design and theme are not directly transferred during data migration to OpenCart. You will need to select or create a new theme for your OpenCart store, then customize it to match your brand. Data moves, but the aesthetic requires a fresh setup. For design options, check Custom or Pre-Made e-Commerce Template.

How long does a Big Cartel to OpenCart migration typically take?

The duration of your Big Cartel to OpenCart data migration varies based on the volume of data and API rate limits from Big Cartel. A small store might take hours, while larger ones could take days. A free demo migration helps estimate exact timing, providing a clear timeline.

I have done my first successfully migration from Virtuemart to Opencart. I must say that this service saved me a lot of work and scripting. The demo possibility is perfect to try out, trial and error before committing.

This was the perfect solution for me and I am going to use it again very soon, only this time Virtuemart to Prestashop. Looking forward to use your service again.

I needed to switch from Interspire to OpenCart, after doing a little bit of research I’ve understood there’s no easy way to import all the data without hours of work so I’ve asked the guys from Cart2Cart to do it for me. Everything went smooth without any problems. Will recommend them in the future

I just used the demo to migrate a few products, customers etc. All I can say is WOW. Does exactly what it says, not tweaking to do! The demo only took a few minutes and is VERY easy for the end user. I am going to do the full migration now. I very much recommend this product! I went from Virtuemart 2 to Opencart by the way.
