    I am 100% satisfied with Cart2Cart. I compared over ten different services and chose Cart2Cart because it offers professional help combined with competitive pricing. These days, as many companies grow, customer service becomes worse. I had a minor issue with the migration and much to my surprise it was dealt with in less than 3 hours of sending an email. That is just about unheard of in this day and age! Cart2Cart exceeded my expectations!

    I know Cart2Cart from the earliest day you guys started when there was no cart migration and seemed like the stone ages. Cart2Cart set the highest standard in the eCommerce platform exchange industry as a Leader now and we haven't done single migration without using your services! Thank you for all your unsurpassed support!

    Web developer, Store owner

    The Cart2Cart was under TOP3 and had an convincing website with a calculation tool and good references. It was an easy decision to choose your service to migrate our shop database. 🙂 An easy API-installation and step-by-step assistant during the migration progress - all that is very good. Also, I was surprised with your support, they helped me with the little thumbnail problem in PrestaShop's backend after migration. That was a very fast response that really helped!!!

  • Gijs van Woerdekom
    Web developer

    I found Cart2Cart after searching the internet. Everything was looking good, so I talked to my customer who had to agree with the price. Handling the migration on my own would be too difficult for me - there was hundreds of products and a different database structure on the old shop. Also lots of categories.So why starting a difficult migration myself instead of using this fixed price solution?

    I used Cart2Cart for my agency as I was performing a mass migration from OpenCart to WooCommerce for a client. It wasn’t cost effective for us to write scripts to perform the migration so we chose Cart2Cart and it worked out very well.

    My contact at Cart2Cart was very responsive, patient and helpful and I could tell she had a dedicated team working behind the scenes. Thanks to Cart2Cart, I am especially thrilled to have 3 years of customer and order data from my old system show up within Shopify, just like current orders. They completed the conversion exactly on time for my store launch.

    Online store owner, Entrepreneur

    After trying to do a traditional brute force export/import thing using Excel/CSV, I googled and found Cart2Cart. I tried the quick demo, and went “Wow, that worked!” so decided to order the full service. Cart2Cart gave us a migrated user dbase, and order history, and it all works perfectly. Cannot recommend it more highly. Super happy with the final result.
