Migrate VP-ASP to CubeCart: Your Definitive Guide to a Seamless Transition
Migrate from VP-ASP to CubeCart: A Comprehensive Guide to Your Store's Evolution
As the e-commerce landscape continuously evolves, transitioning your online store to a more modern and flexible platform can be a strategic move. If you're currently operating on VP-ASP and considering a switch to CubeCart, this guide will walk you through the entire data transfer process, ensuring a smooth and successful migration.
Moving from VP-ASP, a robust but often older platform, to CubeCart offers significant advantages, including enhanced customization, a thriving community, and a more intuitive user experience. This transition, while seemingly complex, can be simplified by following a structured approach, allowing you to carry over vital information such as products, customer data, and order history with minimal downtime and maximum data integrity.
Given VP-ASP's unique database structure, the most effective and reliable method for data extraction is through CSV file export. You will export your valuable data from VP-ASP into organized CSV files, which will then serve as the source for your migration to CubeCart. This ensures that every SKU, variant, customer detail, and order record is accurately moved to your new store.
Prerequisites for a Successful Migration
Before initiating the data transfer, a little preparation goes a long way in ensuring a seamless process. Here's what you need to have in place:
- VP-ASP Data Export: As VP-ASP does not support direct API access for migration tools, you will need to manually export your store's data into CSV files. This includes exporting all essential entities like products, product categories, manufacturers, customer records, orders, product reviews, invoices, taxes, coupons, and CMS pages. Organize these files clearly for easy uploading. For more details on preparing your source store, refer to our guide on How to prepare Source store for migration?
- CubeCart Store Installation: Ensure you have a fresh installation of CubeCart on your hosting server. Ideally, this should be a clean install without existing data, or you can opt to clear existing data during the migration.
- FTP Access to CubeCart: You will need full FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access to your CubeCart installation's root folder to install the necessary connection bridge. If you're unsure what a root folder is, check out What is a root folder and where can I find it?
- CubeCart Admin Credentials: Have your CubeCart admin URL, username, and password readily available.
- Cart2Cart CubeCart Migration Module: To establish a secure connection, the Cart2Cart CubeCart Migration module is required. This module acts as a bridge, facilitating the data exchange between your CSV files and your new CubeCart store.
- Data Backup: Always create comprehensive backups of both your VP-ASP store's database and files, and your new CubeCart installation. This is a crucial safety measure for any data transfer operation.
Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these steps to migrate your store data from VP-ASP (via CSV) to CubeCart using the migration wizard:
Step 1: Get Started with the Migration Wizard
Begin your migration journey by navigating to the migration service. You'll be presented with options to start your DIY migration, request assistance, or estimate costs. Choose to start your migration using the wizard.
Step 2: Configure Your VP-ASP Source Store (via CSV)
In the migration wizard, select "CSV File to Cart" as your Source Cart. Since VP-ASP's architecture typically requires data to be extracted into CSV files, you will upload these prepared files to the migration tool. This ensures all your VP-ASP data, from product descriptions to customer addresses, is ready for transfer. For more information on this method, visit our CSV File Data Migration service page.
Step 3: Connect Your CubeCart Target Store
Next, select "CubeCart" as your Target Cart. Provide the necessary connection details:
- Your CubeCart store URL.
- Your CubeCart admin login.
- Your CubeCart admin password.
As CubeCart requires a bridge connection, the system will prompt you to download and install the Cart2Cart CubeCart Migration module to your CubeCart's root directory via FTP. This bridge facilitates a secure and direct data link between the migration service and your new CubeCart database. The system will then automatically validate this connection. For peace of mind regarding security, review our FAQ on data security.
Step 4: Select Data Entities to Transfer
This crucial step allows you to define exactly which data you wish to move from your VP-ASP CSV files to your new CubeCart store. You can select "All entities" or pick specific data types:
- Products
- Products Categories
- Products Manufacturers
- Products Reviews
- Customers
- Orders
- Invoices
- Taxes
- Stores
- Coupons
- CMS Pages
Choosing your entities carefully helps tailor the replatforming process to your specific business needs.
Step 5: Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your data transfer with a range of powerful additional options designed to preserve link equity and ensure data integrity:
- Preserve Product IDs, Category IDs, Customer IDs, and Order IDs: This option helps maintain consistency with existing integrations, historical data, and SEO. Learn more about How Preserve IDs options can be used?
- Migrate Images in Description: Ensures that all product and CMS page images embedded in descriptions are transferred correctly.
- SEO URLs & Create 301 SEO URLs: Absolutely vital for maintaining your search engine rankings. This option helps create SEO-friendly URLs and automatically sets up 301 redirects from your old VP-ASP URLs to the new CubeCart URLs, preventing broken links and preserving link equity.
- Password Migration: For a seamless user experience, migrate customer passwords so existing customers can log in to your new CubeCart store without needing to reset them.
- Clear Target Store Data: If your CubeCart installation isn't completely fresh, this option allows you to clear all current data on the target store before the migration, ensuring a clean import.
Step 6: Map Your Data Fields
In this step, you'll ensure that various data fields from your source VP-ASP CSV files are correctly matched with their corresponding fields in CubeCart. This is particularly important for customer groups and order statuses. Proper data mapping guarantees that your customer segmentation and order processing workflows remain consistent on the new platform.
Step 7: Run a Free Demo & Initiate Full Migration
Before committing to the full replatforming, we highly recommend running a free demo migration. This transfers a limited number of entities, allowing you to review the data transfer quality and functionality on your new CubeCart store. Once you're satisfied with the demo results, you can proceed with the full migration. Consider adding a Migration Insurance Plan, which offers additional remigrations for unforeseen adjustments, ensuring ultimate flexibility. You can also explore how Migration Insurance works.
Post-Migration Steps
Once your data has successfully transferred to CubeCart, a few critical post-migration tasks remain to ensure your new store is fully operational and optimized:
- Thorough Testing: Conduct extensive testing of your CubeCart store. Verify product displays, categories, images, pricing, customer accounts, order history, and the entire checkout process. Place test orders to ensure payment gateways and shipping methods function correctly.
- Update DNS Settings: Point your domain name to your new CubeCart store. Be aware that DNS propagation can take some time.
- Implement 301 Redirects: If you used the "301 SEO URLs" option during migration, these should be in place. However, it's wise to manually check and implement any additional redirects for specific pages that might have changed URLs, to preserve your SEO rankings and link equity.
- Install Essential CubeCart Modules/Extensions: Install any necessary CubeCart modules for marketing, analytics, payment processing, shipping, and other functionalities that enhance your store's user experience and operational efficiency.
- Update Internal Links: Scan your content for any hardcoded internal links that might still point to your old VP-ASP store and update them to reflect your new CubeCart URLs.
- Inform Customers: Announce your new store and its benefits to your customer base. Ensure they know how to access their accounts and make purchases.
- Monitor Performance: Keep an eye on your store's performance metrics, including page load times, sales, and SEO rankings, to ensure everything is running smoothly.

Many of my customers have Magento 1 stores. This year Magento will stop supporting this system and because of this these customers need to migrate to another system. Migration can be difficult and very time consuming process. But then i found Cart2Cart. There solution is the best and affordable. With the first migration there where some problems, but i did made some mistakes with filling in the correct fields to get a connection between the current and the target store. After starting a chat these problems where fixed very quickly. Support is very good and there solution is very affordable. The perfect solution!
