Migrate from Blue Cart to Volusion: A Comprehensive How-To Guide

Seamlessly Transition Your E-commerce Store from Blue Cart to Volusion

Embarking on an e-commerce platform migration can feel daunting, but it's a strategic move that can unlock new growth and efficiency for your online business. If you're currently operating on Blue Cart and looking to replatform to the robust and feature-rich Volusion platform, this guide will walk you through every essential step. While Blue Cart does not offer a direct API for automated migrations, we'll leverage its data export capabilities combined with a powerful migration tool to ensure your products, customer data, orders, and other crucial entities make a smooth transition.

Volusion offers a comprehensive suite of tools for managing your online store, from advanced product management to integrated marketing features and secure hosting. By moving to Volusion, you're positioning your business for enhanced scalability, improved user experience, and greater control over your e-commerce operations.

Let’s prepare to transfer your valuable store data with confidence and precision.

Prerequisites for a Successful Migration

Before initiating any data transfer, thorough preparation is paramount to ensure data integrity and minimize potential downtime. Here’s what you need to have in place:

  • For Your Blue Cart Store (Source):
    1. Data Export: Since Blue Cart doesn't support a direct bridge connection for automated migration, you will need to manually export your store's data into CSV files. Prioritize exporting your Products (including SKUs, variants, descriptions, images), Customers (with their associated details and passwords if possible), Orders (with all transaction details), Product Categories, Manufacturers, Reviews, and any CMS Pages or Coupons. Ensure these exports are as comprehensive as possible.
    2. Data Backup: Always create a full backup of your entire Blue Cart store and its database before you begin any migration process. This safeguards your data against unforeseen issues.

    For more details on preparing your source store, read our How to prepare Source store for migration? guide.

  • For Your Volusion Store (Target):
    1. Volusion Account: Ensure you have an active Volusion account and a new store set up. This will be the destination for all your migrated data.
    2. Admin Access: You'll need full administrator access to your Volusion backend.
    3. FTP Access: Volusion migrations typically require FTP access to upload a 'bridge' file, which facilitates the connection between the migration tool and your new store.
    4. Install Cart2Cart Volusion Migration Module: Volusion requires a specific migration module. You will need to install the Cart2Cart Volusion Migration module into your new Volusion store. This is crucial for enabling the data connection via the bridge.

    For additional insights on readying your new platform, explore our How to prepare Target store for migration? article.

  • General Preparations:

Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide

With your preparations complete, it's time to initiate the data transfer. We'll use a guided migration wizard for this process, leveraging the CSV export from Blue Cart and the bridge connection for Volusion.

Step 1: Start Your Migration

Begin by navigating to the migration wizard. You'll typically find an option to start a do-it-yourself migration or opt for a guided service.

Step 2: Source Store Setup (Blue Cart via CSV)

In this crucial step, you'll specify Blue Cart as your source, utilizing the CSV file method. Select 'CSV File to Cart' from the dropdown menu, then upload the CSV files you exported from your Blue Cart store. This allows the migration tool to access your products, customers, orders, and other vital information.

Step 3: Target Store Setup (Volusion)

Now, define your new Volusion store as the migration target. Select 'Volusion' from the shopping cart dropdown menu and enter your Volusion store's URL. You will then be prompted to install the migration bridge. This involves uploading a specific file to the root folder of your Volusion store via FTP. This bridge acts as a secure data conduit. Ensure the access credentials are correct.

Step 4: Select Data Entities for Migration

Choose precisely which data entities you wish to transfer from your Blue Cart CSV files to Volusion. You can select 'All entities' for a comprehensive transfer, or individually pick items such as Products, Product Categories, Customers, Orders, Product Reviews, and CMS Pages. Review the supported entities to ensure all your critical data is included.

Step 5: Configure Migration Options & Data Mapping

This stage allows for customization and ensures data consistency.

Additional Migration Options

Enhance your migration by selecting from various additional options:

  • Migrate Images in Description: Essential for preserving product descriptions and CMS pages with rich media.
  • Clear Target Store Data: Opt to Clear current data on Target store before migration option if your Volusion store contains demo data you wish to remove.
  • Preserve IDs: Keep your original Product IDs, Customer IDs, and Order IDs consistent, which can be vital for reporting and existing integrations. Learn more about How Preserve IDs options can be used?
  • Password Migration: Migrate customer passwords securely, improving user experience by allowing existing customers to log in without resetting.
  • SEO URLs & 301 Redirects: Critical for maintaining your search engine rankings by automatically creating new SEO-friendly URLs and setting up 301 redirects from your old Blue Cart URLs to the new Volusion ones.

Data Mapping Setup

Accurately map your Blue Cart customer groups and order statuses to their corresponding equivalents in Volusion. This ensures that customer roles and order lifecycles are correctly translated into your new platform.

Step 6: Run Free Demo & Full Migration

Before committing to the full transfer, run a free demo migration. This allows you to migrate a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your Volusion store. Review the demo results thoroughly to ensure everything transferred correctly. If satisfied, proceed with the full migration.

You may also consider a Migration Insurance Service for added peace of mind, allowing for multiple remigrations within a specified period, as explained in How Migration Insurance works?.

Post-Migration Steps

Once your data has successfully transitioned to Volusion, a few critical steps remain to ensure your new store is fully operational and optimized.

  1. Thorough Data Verification: Carefully check all migrated data in your Volusion store.
    • Products: Verify product details, images, prices, SKUs, and variants.
    • Customers: Confirm customer accounts, addresses, and order history.
    • Orders: Review order details, statuses, and associated customer information.
    • CMS Pages & Categories: Ensure all content and navigation are correct.
  2. Test Store Functionality: Conduct extensive testing of your new Volusion store.
    • Checkout Process: Perform test purchases to ensure the checkout, payment gateways, and shipping calculations work flawlessly.
    • User Accounts: Test customer login, account management, and password reset functionalities.
    • Search & Navigation: Verify that product search and site navigation are intuitive and accurate.
  3. Configure SEO & Redirects:
    • If you used the 301 redirects option during migration, double-check that they are functioning correctly.
    • Set up any additional redirects needed for pages or products that might have changed URLs.
    • Submit your new sitemap to search engines.
  4. Update DNS Settings: Once you are completely satisfied with your new Volusion store, update your domain's DNS settings to point to your Volusion store. Plan this carefully to minimize downtime.
  5. Install & Configure New Apps/Plugins: Set up any necessary Volusion apps, integrations, or plugins that enhance your store's functionality (e.g., marketing tools, analytics, accounting software).
  6. Update Integrations: Reconnect any third-party services like ERP systems, CRMs, or email marketing platforms.
  7. Announce Your New Store: Inform your customers about your exciting new Volusion store!

Migrating from Blue Cart to Volusion is a significant undertaking, but with careful planning and execution, you can achieve a powerful, scalable e-commerce presence.

Many of my customers have Magento 1 stores. This year Magento will stop supporting this system and because of this these customers need to migrate to another system. Migration can be difficult and very time consuming process. But then i found Cart2Cart. There solution is the best and affordable. With the first migration there where some problems, but i did made some mistakes with filling in the correct fields to get a connection between the current and the target store. After starting a chat these problems where fixed very quickly. Support is very good and there solution is very affordable. The perfect solution!

We were in need of migrating 10.000 orders & customers from a PrestaShop site to a Magento site, already being in use. We therefore needed to be extra careful not to erase any of the existing data, which is why we seeked out the service of Cart2Cart. With a readily available customer service providing guidance and support during the entire process, we felt secure in the choice of Cart2Cart. We also enjoyed the possibility to do a test migration to be able to verify the values, before going ahead with a full migration. The full migration was surprisingly quick, within just a couple of minutes we had successfully transfered all the data, without experiencing any issues on the site. I’d recommend Cart2Cart to anyone who are looking to simplify the process of migrating.
