Migrate Adobe Business Catalyst to X-Cart: The Definitive How-To Guide
A Comprehensive Guide to Transitioning from Adobe Business Catalyst to X-Cart
Adobe Business Catalyst reached its end-of-life on March 26, 2021, necessitating a platform replatform for many online merchants. X-Cart stands out as a robust and flexible open-source e-commerce solution, offering extensive customization and control. This guide will walk you through the comprehensive process of moving your store data, including products, customer records, and order history, from Adobe Business Catalyst to X-Cart. Given that direct API connections for Adobe Business Catalyst are no longer supported, we will detail a seamless migration strategy leveraging CSV file exports and an automated migration tool.
Prerequisites for Migration
Before initiating your data transfer, ensuring both your source (Adobe Business Catalyst) and target (X-Cart) environments are prepared is crucial for a smooth transition.
- For Your Adobe Business Catalyst Store (Source):
- Data Export: As Adobe Business Catalyst does not support direct API connections for migration tools, your data will need to be exported into CSV files. Ensure you can access and export your critical store entities. The migration tool can typically handle CSV imports for: Products, Product Categories, Product Manufacturers, Product Reviews, Customers, Orders, Invoices, Taxes, Stores, Coupons, CMS Pages, Blogs, and Blog Posts.
- Data Cleanliness: Review your existing data for any inconsistencies, duplicates, or outdated information. Cleaning your data before export can significantly improve the integrity of your new X-Cart store.
- For Your X-Cart Store (Target):
- X-Cart Installation: Ensure you have a fresh installation of X-Cart ready on your hosting environment. Supported versions include 4.0.0 through 5.4.0.
- FTP Access: You will need FTP/SFTP access credentials to your X-Cart store's root directory to upload the necessary migration bridge files. Understand what a root folder is and how to locate it here.
- Admin Credentials: Have your X-Cart administrator login and password readily available.
- Migration Module: The Cart2Cart X-Cart Migration module is required for the migration process. This plugin facilitates the connection between the migration service and your X-Cart database.
- Consider a Fresh Start: For optimal results, it's often recommended to migrate to an X-Cart store with no existing data. If your target store already contains data, you may choose to clear it before migration using the "Clear Target" option. Learn more about clearing target store data.
Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide
This section outlines the process using an automated migration wizard, ensuring a streamlined data transfer.
Step 1: Initiate Your Migration
Begin your migration journey by visiting the migration service's website. Here, you'll find options to start your do-it-yourself migration with the wizard or request assistance from the support team.
Step 2: Source Store Setup (Adobe Business Catalyst via CSV)
Since Adobe Business Catalyst is not directly supported by an API connection, select "CSV File to Cart" as your Source Cart. You will then upload your previously exported CSV files containing all your essential e-commerce data. This method ensures all your historical information is safely transferred.
Step 3: Target Store Setup (X-Cart)
Next, choose "X-Cart" as your Target Cart. The migration service connects to X-Cart via a connection bridge. You will need to download the Cart2Cart X-Cart Migration module (bridge file), upload it to the root directory of your X-Cart installation via FTP, and then provide your X-Cart store's URL, administrator login, and password. This establishes a secure connection for the data transfer.
Connecting fields include: adminLogin, adminPwd, adminUrl, url, bridgeLocation.
Step 4: Select Data Entities for Transfer
This crucial step allows you to specify exactly which data entities you wish to migrate from your Adobe Business Catalyst CSV files to X-Cart. You can choose to transfer all available entities, or selectively pick specific data types such as:
- Products (including SKUs, variants, attributes, images in descriptions)
- Product Categories
- Customers
- Orders
- Product Reviews
- Invoices
- Taxes
- CMS Pages
- Blogs and Blog Posts
Simply check the boxes corresponding to the data you want to move.
Step 5: Configure Additional Options & Data Mapping
This stage offers powerful customization to ensure your new X-Cart store aligns perfectly with your business needs.
Additional Migration Options
Review and select from a range of additional options to tailor your migration. Key choices for X-Cart include:
- Clear Target Store Data: Remove any existing demo data or products from your X-Cart store before migration. Learn more.
- Preserve IDs: Maintain original Product IDs, Order IDs, and Customer IDs to prevent broken links or internal system conflicts. Discover the benefits of preserving IDs.
- Create 301 SEO Redirects: Essential for maintaining your SEO rankings and link equity. This option automatically creates redirects from your old product and category URLs to your new X-Cart URLs. Note that SEO options are excluded for blogs.
- Migrate Customer Passwords: Allow your customers to log into their new X-Cart accounts with their existing passwords.
- Migrate Images in Description: Ensure product and category images embedded within descriptions are transferred.
- Create Variants from Attributes: Transform product attributes into fully functional product variants where applicable.
- Migrate Invoices: Transfer invoice records alongside order data.
Data Mapping Setup
Carefully map your source store's customer groups and order statuses to their corresponding fields in X-Cart. This ensures consistency and proper categorization of your migrated data, preserving customer segmentation and order workflow.
Step 6: Run Demo Migration & Full Migration
Before committing to a full data transfer, always perform a Free Demo Migration. This allows you to migrate a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your X-Cart store. Review the demo results thoroughly to verify data integrity, image transfer, and overall functionality. This step is crucial for identifying any potential issues and making necessary adjustments before the main event.
Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed with the Full Migration. At this stage, you may also consider adding a Migration Insurance Plan, which offers additional remigrations for a specified period, providing peace of mind. Understand how Migration Insurance works.
Post-Migration Steps
After your data has successfully been transferred to X-Cart, a few essential post-migration steps are necessary to ensure your new store is fully operational and optimized.
- Thorough Data Verification: Rigorously check all migrated data.
- Products: Confirm product names, descriptions, SKUs, prices, images, variants, and stock levels are correct.
- Customers: Verify customer accounts, addresses, and order histories.
- Orders: Check order details, statuses, and associated customer information.
- CMS Pages & Blogs: Ensure all content, including images and formatting, has transitioned correctly.
- Configure X-Cart Store Settings:
- Shipping & Payment: Set up your preferred shipping methods and integrate all necessary payment gateways.
- Taxes: Configure tax settings accurately for your regions. X-Cart supports multi-tax configurations.
- Currency & Locales: Adjust currency settings, language, and regional formats.
- User Permissions: Define administrator roles and permissions.
- Design and Theme Customization:
- Apply and customize your chosen X-Cart theme to ensure a visually appealing and user-friendly experience.
- Test responsiveness across different devices.
- SEO Adjustments:
- Verify that all 301 redirects are functioning correctly to preserve your SEO rankings and link equity from Adobe Business Catalyst.
- Update your Google Analytics and Google Search Console properties to reflect your new X-Cart store URL.
- Submit your new X-Cart sitemap to search engines.
- Conduct Comprehensive Testing:
- Perform test purchases, including different payment methods and shipping options.
- Test customer registration, login, and account management functionalities.
- Check all contact forms and interactive elements.
- Go Live:
- Once all testing is complete and you are confident in your new X-Cart store, update your domain's DNS settings to point to your new X-Cart installation.
- Consider using the Recent Data Migration Service to transfer any new data that accumulated on your Adobe Business Catalyst store during the migration period.
If you encounter any complex requirements or need assistance with specific customizations, consider leveraging a Migration Customization Service to tailor your X-Cart store to perfection.

This service made things so easy to go from my Magento store that was just a mess to X-cart that works like a gem. I am still in the process of getting everything set up but I wanted to see if things would work and sure enough, like a wonderful fast charm.

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!
