Troubleshooting: "Drupal Commerce CSV file got corrupted" Error During Data Migration

Encountering a "Drupal Commerce CSV file got corrupted" error during your eCommerce data migration with Cart2Cart? This usually indicates a problem with the structure or content of your CSV files. To ensure successful upload of your Drupal Commerce files into the migration wizard, carefully check the following:

  • Empty First Line: Ensure the first line of your CSV file is not empty. The first line should contain the header row with column names.
  • Column Consistency: Verify that the number of columns in the header row matches the number of columns in each subsequent data row. Discrepancies will cause parsing errors.
  • Data Integrity: Confirm that the data within each column corresponds correctly to its header. For example, the 'category' column should only contain category names, not product weights or other unrelated information.
  • Character Encoding: Save your CSV file with UTF-8 encoding to avoid issues with special characters.

Additionally, for optimal data recognition and accurate migration, rename your column names to standard English equivalents. This helps the Cart2Cart system correctly interpret and map your data fields. Here’s an example of a valid CSV template for Drupal Commerce data migration:
