Once your automated migration is completed you will be able to check transferred entities on a new X-Cart store. But, sometimes products are not visible from the store front. To resolve this, you will need to clean the cache on your new store

To do that, login to X-Cart admin panel and go to System Settings -> Cache management -> Re-deploy the store on the top right.

After go to the store front and refresh the page to see your products. In case there are additional questions, feel free to contact our Support Team for help.

Cart2Cart Migration Module enables simple and quick data transfer from your current shopping cart to X-Cart 5.x. It allows to migrate products, categories, customers, orders and other related info.

Please note: before starting data transfer make sure your Source store platform is listed among supported shopping carts.

Please note:if your shopping cart is hosted and you don’t have an access to your FTP start your migration directly at Cart2Cart website. To enable interaction between platforms you will have to provide API Key, Token, Path, etc. However, you will have to proceed to the next step and set up the Connection Bridge for X-Cart since it can be only done via Cart2Cart Migration Module.

Due to certain platform restrictions, “Preserve customer IDs” additional option may not work out properly in some particular cases.

• For X-Cart 4.3.x and lower:

Though “Preserve customer IDs” additional option is available to choose from the list, customer IDs won’t be preserved during migration to or from X-Cart (version 4.3.x and lower). If X-Cart is Source Cart, customer emails will be set instead of customer IDs.

Why? There is no such thing as “customer ID field” in X-Cart of version 4.3.x and lower. This makes preservation impossible.

• For X-Cart 4.4.x and higher:

If customer IDs on Source Cart include any other symbols except numbers, the IDs won’t be preserved on X-Cart as well (4.4.x and higher). Otherwise, customer IDs preservation will be performed correctly.

For example, customer id “2337” will be preserved, but “user2337” - will not.
