How to Migrate to ECshop

This step-by-step guide details how to securely migrate to ECshop from any other e-commerce platform using Cart2Cart, ensuring complete data integrity for your online storefront.

  1. Register and Initiate: Create a Cart2Cart account to begin your platform switch. This initial step is free and takes only a minute.
  2. Connect Your Source Store: Provide the credentials for your current platform to allow secure API access for the data transfer.
  3. Connect ECshop Target Store: Prepare your data in a CSV file according to the required format for import into ECshop. This file-based approach allows you to move your store data without direct database access.
  4. Select Data and Options: Choose which data entities to move, including products, SKUs, and customer orders. Configure crucial options like 301 redirects to preserve your SEO rankings.
  5. Run a Free Demo Migration: Launch a free test transfer to move a limited set of your data. This allows you to check the results directly in your new ECshop store before the full replatforming.
  6. Launch the Full Migration: Once satisfied with the demo, start the full migration. The process runs on our servers, ensuring no downtime for your business.

Pro-Tip: Please note that migrating to ECshop via this method is a target-only process that relies on a correctly formatted CSV file for import. No additional plugins are required for this connection.

    This is my first use of Cart2Cart migration process and this company is awesome! My company managed lots of migration manually before trying C2C and actually we love them. Support is the best ever (thank all!) and service is A +++.

    Absolute BEST! Very inexpensive (was quoted $1500 from another design company, compared to only $140), lightning fast speed with their responses, knowledgeable, and of course saved me a ton of quality time I don’t have. Will be using them again for an additional website.

    Used Cart2Cart to migrate https://www.tesland.com. Ideal saves you a ton of time. Even have the option to do it multiple times so you can set up the new site with the correct data in it. And then before you go live with the new site, you can import the latest data again.

    ECshop Monthly Pulse: The Strategy of Stability in a Volatile Market

    In an e-commerce landscape dominated by the rapid-fire feature releases of SaaS giants, ECshop's trajectory this past month tells a different, yet equally compelling, story. It is a narrative not of disruptive change, but of deliberate reinforcement. For the discerning business leader, this month’s analysis reveals a platform doubling down on its core strengths: stability, deep customizability, and unparalleled total cost of ownership for its target market. The focus has been on foundational enhancements that, while not making headlines, deliver tangible value in performance, security, and operational efficiency.

    Consolidating its Niche Market Position

    While global market share reports often overlook specialized open-source platforms, our channel analysis indicates ECshop has maintained its strong foothold in the APAC region, particularly among small and mid-market businesses seeking an alternative to recurring revenue-share models. This is not a story of explosive growth, but one of remarkable resilience. ECshop continues to be the platform of choice for businesses prioritizing data sovereignty and complete control over their technology stack. This sustained position signals that for a significant market segment, the value of a customizable, self-hosted solution outweighs the turnkey convenience of its SaaS competitors.

    Core Architecture and Performance Tuning

    This month saw the rollout of a minor version update focused squarely on back-end performance and future-proofing the core architecture. Key among the updates was enhanced compatibility with PHP 8.1 and a significant optimization of database query caching logic. The "so what?" for merchants is direct and impactful: faster page load times and a more responsive administrative experience. For businesses, this translates to improved Core Web Vitals—a critical SEO factor—and a reduced server load, which can lead to lower infrastructure costs, especially for stores with large product catalogs or high-volume traffic.

    Strengthening the Open-Source Development Framework

    The lifeblood of any open-source platform is its developer community. Acknowledging this, ECshop's core team released a refreshed set of API documentation and introduced several new hooks within the checkout and payment modules. This strategic move is designed to lower the barrier for third-party developers to create robust, secure integrations. For decision-makers, this commitment to the ecosystem is crucial. It ensures that the platform remains flexible and adaptable, reducing the long-term cost and complexity of building the custom functionalities that give a brand its unique competitive edge.

    Enhanced Merchant Control via Administrative Refinements

    The most significant user-facing update this month was not a flashy new front-end feature, but a powerful enhancement to the product management interface. A new bulk editor was introduced, allowing merchants to modify custom attributes and pricing tiers across thousands of SKUs simultaneously. This is a direct response to a long-standing merchant pain point. The strategic value lies in a dramatic increase in operational efficiency. This refinement frees up valuable team resources from tedious data entry, reduces the risk of human error, and enables more agile merchandising strategies.

    Fortifying the Core Against Emerging Threats

    In a clear signal of its commitment to platform integrity, a dedicated security patch was released addressing several potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. The update also strengthened input sanitization protocols across the entire application. For enterprise clients and high-volume merchants, this proactive stance on security is non-negotiable. It demonstrates a mature approach to platform stewardship, reinforcing that ECshop is not just a feature-rich platform, but a trusted and reliable environment for conducting commerce and protecting sensitive customer data.

    Improving Localization and Regional Adaptability

    Reflecting its strong regional user base, recent updates included improved community-contributed language packs for Thai and Vietnamese, along with updated tax calculation logic for several Southeast Asian countries. While seemingly minor, these localization improvements are strategically vital. They demonstrate the platform's ability to adapt to nuanced regional requirements, significantly lowering the barrier to entry for merchants looking to expand their cross-border operations within the fast-growing APAC e-commerce corridor.

    Strategic Adoption by a Mid-Market Manufacturer

    This month, we noted the launch of a new direct-to-consumer storefront for a prominent regional electronics component manufacturer. Their choice to build on ECshop over a more mainstream SaaS solution is telling. The likely driver was not a need for marketing automation, but the requirement for total control over their complex product data and the ability to build a deep, custom integration with their existing ERP system. This migration underscores ECshop's core value proposition: it is the premier choice for established businesses with specific technical requirements who view their e-commerce platform as a long-term, controllable asset rather than a monthly operational expense.
