Frequently Asked Questions

How can I ensure data accuracy after migrating from PHP Cart to OpenCart?

We recommend performing a free demo migration to preview how your data will appear on OpenCart. After the full migration, thoroughly check all transferred entities (products, orders, customers). Our Recent Data Migration service can help sync any new or missing data.

What data entities can I migrate from PHP Cart to OpenCart?

You can transfer a wide range of data, including products, customers, orders, categories, images, reviews, and more. OpenCart migrations typically use a Connection Bridge for data transfer. For specific custom fields from PHP Cart, customization services are available to ensure accuracy.

How can I preserve SEO rankings when migrating from PHP Cart to OpenCart?

SEO rankings are crucial and can be preserved by migrating 301 redirects, product, and category URLs, along with metadata. Our service ensures these elements transfer to your new OpenCart store to protect your organic traffic. Explore SEO migration options.

Will my PHP Cart store's design and theme transfer to OpenCart?

No, store design and themes are not transferred during data migration. Only the data (products, customers, orders, etc.) moves from PHP Cart to OpenCart. You'll need to install or design a new theme for your OpenCart store, which offers extensive customization options. Plan your OpenCart design post-migration.

Will my PHP Cart store experience downtime during migration to OpenCart?

No, your PHP Cart store will remain online. The migration to OpenCart is performed on a separate, secure server, ensuring zero downtime for your current operations. Your live store functions normally until you switch to the new OpenCart site. Learn more about our process.

How long does a PHP Cart to OpenCart migration typically take?

The duration depends on the volume of data. Small stores can migrate in a few hours, while larger ones may take several days. The process for OpenCart migrations involves a Bridge connection and a Cart2Cart Universal OpenCart Migration extension. Get an estimated timeline here.

What factors influence the cost of migrating from PHP Cart to OpenCart?

The migration cost is determined by the number of entities (products, customers, orders) and any additional options chosen, like 301 redirects or preserving IDs. OpenCart migrations require the Cart2Cart Universal OpenCart Migration extension. Get a free estimate for your PHP Cart to OpenCart move.

Is my data secure during the PHP Cart to OpenCart transfer?

Yes, data security is paramount. Your information is encrypted and processed on secure servers. We do not store your credentials or data after the migration to OpenCart is complete. Review our comprehensive security policy for more details on data protection.

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

Automated tools like ours offer speed, cost-efficiency, and minimal technical effort, typically requiring the Cart2Cart Universal OpenCart Migration extension. Hiring an expert might be pricier but provides hands-on support for complex custom needs. For most PHP Cart to OpenCart transfers, automation is preferred. See the benefits of automated replatforming.

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.
