Frequently Asked Questions

What factors influence the cost of an OpenCart to Shopware migration?

The cost of your OpenCart to Shopware migration is influenced by the number of entities (products, customers, orders), selected additional options like ID preservation (with limitations for Shopware 6+ product IDs), and the overall complexity of your store data. Get a personalized estimate with our Migration Wizard.

Will my OpenCart store's design and theme be transferred to Shopware?

No, your OpenCart store's design and theme are not directly transferred during data migration to Shopware. Our service focuses on moving your core data (products, customers, orders). You'll need to select a new Shopware theme or customize an existing one to match your brand's aesthetic.

What data entities can be migrated from OpenCart to Shopware?

We transfer a comprehensive range of data from OpenCart to Shopware, including products, customers, orders, categories, reviews, and manufacturers. Custom fields and multi-store data, despite OpenCart's limitations, can often be handled via our Migration Customization Service.

Is my OpenCart store data secure during the Shopware migration?

Yes, data security is paramount. All OpenCart to Shopware migrations are performed over secure HTTPS. We utilize a Connection Bridge for OpenCart, and a module or app for Shopware, ensuring your credentials and data are never stored longer than necessary. Review our Security Policy for full details.

How can I prevent losing SEO rankings when migrating from OpenCart to Shopware?

We protect your SEO when moving from OpenCart to Shopware by implementing 301 redirects and transferring metadata, including URLs, product, and category details. Proper post-migration setup and a Post-Migration Checklist are crucial to preserve your organic traffic.

How long does it take to migrate an OpenCart store to Shopware?

The migration timeline for your OpenCart to Shopware store depends on data volume and complexity, including API rate limits if applicable for Shopware. A free Demo Migration provides an accurate estimate. Small to medium stores can complete within hours, while larger ones require more time.

Will my OpenCart store experience downtime during migration to Shopware?

No, your OpenCart store will remain fully operational. The migration process runs on a secure external server, ensuring zero downtime for your customers while we transfer your data to Shopware. This method, often using a Connection Bridge for OpenCart, prevents any disruption to your live site.

Should I use an automated tool or hire an expert for OpenCart to Shopware migration?

An automated tool like Cart2Cart offers a faster, more cost-effective way to migrate from OpenCart to Shopware. It leverages specialized plugins like the Cart2Cart Universal OpenCart Migration extension. While experts suit highly customized stores, our Ultimate Data Migration Service provides automated efficiency with expert oversight.

Can customer passwords be migrated from OpenCart to Shopware?

This requires a dedicated password migration module (e.g., Cart2Cart Universal OpenCart Migration extension and Cart2Cart Shopware Migration module). This process safely transfers hashed passwords, allowing customers to log in without needing to reset. Learn more about password migration.

How can I verify data accuracy after migrating from OpenCart to Shopware?

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!

No complaints at all with this company. I have used the service a few different times to migrate from Volusion to Opencart and then from Opencart to Shopify and every time the process has been super easy, quick and efficient. Customer service also is excellent. There seems to be someone available on chat to help 24/7 which is extremely helpful!

I even experimented with another migration service, but ended up returning to Cart2Cart as they are simply superior. Thanks!

We were looking to migrate our e-commerce website from existing platform of Opencart to Shopify. After reviewing multiple options, we decided to try out Cart2Cart. After reading a few tutorials (which are not lengthy BTW) , I decided to talk with rep from Cart2Cart. From that point on, I was provided with step by step instructions and I was migrated to Shopify in less an hour! Super easy .. Rep was helpful and instructions are clear and easy to follow for someone with little to no technical abilities. I highly recommend this tool for your migrations! Keep up the good work Cart2Cart team.
