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 Resilience of a Self-Hosted Veteran

    This month, our analysis of the ECshop platform reveals a narrative not of explosive growth, but of strategic consolidation and foundational strengthening. In a market dominated by the SaaS model's relentless feature velocity, ECshop is doubling down on its core value proposition for a specific, yet significant, segment of the e-commerce landscape: the technically proficient merchant who prioritizes control, customization, and data sovereignty. The story this month is one of deliberate, calculated enhancements that reinforce its position as a reliable workhorse for businesses with complex operational needs.

    Analyzing the Footprint: Stability in a Niche Market

    While ECshop no longer competes for headline market share against global SaaS giants, our latest data indicates it maintains a remarkably stable user base, particularly within the Greater China region and among established B2B distributors. Its market position is less about acquisition and more about retention. This resilience stems from a large, mature ecosystem of developers and a vast repository of existing extensions. For businesses that have invested heavily in the platform, the cost and complexity of migration often outweigh the perceived benefits of newer systems, especially when ECshop's latest updates continue to address core security and performance concerns, effectively reducing technical debt.

    Core Infrastructure Refinement: The Performance Dividend

    The most significant under-the-hood development this past month was the release of a maintenance patch focused on full compatibility with PHP 8.1. While this may seem like a minor technical update, its impact is substantial. For merchants, this translates directly to faster server response times and improved memory efficiency, which can tangibly boost conversion rates and lower hosting costs. More strategically, it signals a commitment from the core maintainers to keep the platform aligned with modern server technology, ensuring long-term viability and security for self-hosted infrastructures.

    The Extensibility Engine: A Maturing Developer Community

    The health of an open-source platform is measured by its community, and ECshop's developer ecosystem continues to show signs of focused activity. While the volume of new public themes has slowed, we've observed a marked increase in sophisticated, private module development for logistics and ERP integrations. This month saw the release of a key third-party connector for a popular regional warehouse management system (WMS). This trend underscores ECshop's evolution into a platform not for beginners, but for developers building highly bespoke commerce solutions that require deep, server-level integration unavailable on mainstream SaaS platforms.

    Strategic Advancement: Overhauling the Promotions Engine

    The flagship update for merchants this month is a significant refactoring of the platform's promotions and discount code engine. The previous system, while functional, was often rigid. The new architecture introduces a more flexible, rule-based system, allowing merchants to create complex, stacked promotions such as "Buy one, get one 50% off on select categories, plus free shipping for orders over $100." For businesses in competitive verticals, this ability to execute granular and creative marketing campaigns without custom coding is a critical advantage that directly impacts customer acquisition and average order value.

    Fortifying the Foundation: Proactive Security Posture

    In a move that will reassure enterprise users, the latest version addressed a potential Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability within the administrative backend. This was not in response to a public breach but was identified through internal code audits. This proactive security enhancement is a crucial trust signal. For merchants handling large volumes of customer data, this commitment to hardening the platform's core against emerging threats is a non-negotiable requirement that reinforces the decision to manage their own e-commerce stack.

    Deepening Regional Roots: Enhanced Payment Gateway Support

    ECshop further solidified its position in the APAC market by rolling out native integration for two emerging digital wallets popular in Southeast Asia. This move goes beyond simply adding a payment option; it demonstrates a nuanced understanding of regional commerce trends. By enabling frictionless, mobile-first checkout experiences for these high-growth corridors, ECshop provides its merchants with a critical tool for international expansion, reducing barriers to entry and improving conversion rates in new markets.

    The Ideal Customer Profile: A Look at Recent Adoptions

    While we cannot name the company due to privacy agreements, a notable migration this month involved a mid-sized industrial parts distributor. This company's move to ECshop is a case study in the platform's core strengths. They required a self-hosted solution for data sovereignty and compliance reasons, needed deep customization to integrate with a legacy inventory system, and possessed an in-house technical team capable of managing the environment. They chose ECshop over more modern headless solutions due to its lower total cost of ownership and the maturity of its core feature set, which required less ground-up development for their specific B2B needs.
