Migrate VevoCart to X-Cart: A Comprehensive How-To Guide
Seamlessly Migrate Your Store from VevoCart to X-Cart
Are you considering a platform switch for your e-commerce business? Transitioning from VevoCart to X-Cart can unlock a wealth of advanced features, greater flexibility, and enhanced performance for your online store. X-Cart is a robust, open-source platform known for its extensive customization options and powerful functionality.
This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step of the data transfer process, ensuring a smooth and efficient migration of your product listings, customer information, order history, and other crucial store data. Since VevoCart isn't directly supported by bridge connectors, we'll leverage the CSV file import method for your source data, ensuring all your valuable assets make it to your new X-Cart store with integrity.
Prerequisites for a Successful Migration
Before initiating the data migration, thorough preparation of both your existing VevoCart store and your new X-Cart environment is essential. This minimizes potential issues and ensures data integrity.
Preparing Your VevoCart (Source) Store
- Data Export: As VevoCart is not directly supported by connection bridges, you will need to export all your vital store data into CSV files. This includes:
- Product listings (with SKUs, variants, images, descriptions, prices)
- Product categories and manufacturers
- Customer records (including passwords if you plan to migrate them)
- Order history and invoices
- Product reviews and ratings
- Coupon codes and CMS pages
Ensure these CSV files are well-organized and include all relevant fields. For more details on source store preparation, refer to our guide on preparing your Source store.
- Data Backup: Always perform a complete backup of your VevoCart store's database and files before exporting any data. This serves as a safety net in case any unforeseen issues arise during the export process.
Preparing Your X-Cart (Target) Store
- Fresh X-Cart Installation: It is highly recommended to start with a fresh, empty installation of X-Cart. This prevents any conflicts with existing data and provides a clean slate for your migrated information.
- Install Cart2Cart X-Cart Migration Module: X-Cart requires a specific plugin for migration. You must install the Cart2Cart X-Cart Migration module on your X-Cart instance. This module facilitates the connection and data transfer.
- FTP and Admin Access: Ensure you have full FTP/SFTP access to your X-Cart server and administrator login credentials for your X-Cart admin panel. These will be necessary for installing the connection bridge and configuring the migration tool. Refer to The Short & Essential Guide to Access Credentials for more information.
- Temporary Disable Caching/Maintenance Mode: During the migration, temporarily disable any caching mechanisms or put your X-Cart store into maintenance mode. This prevents data inconsistencies and improves migration speed.
- Data Backup: Even with a fresh installation, it's good practice to create a backup of your empty X-Cart database before migration begins. For additional information, check our guide on preparing your Target store.
Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide
This section outlines the process of moving your VevoCart data to X-Cart using a migration wizard.
Step 1: Start Your Migration
Begin by navigating to the migration wizard. You'll typically find an option to start a new migration.
Step 2: Connect Your Source Store (VevoCart via CSV)
Since VevoCart is not listed as a direct bridge connection option, you will select "CSV File to Cart" as your source shopping cart. You will then be prompted to upload the CSV files you prepared from your VevoCart store. Ensure all necessary entity files (Products, Customers, Orders, etc.) are correctly uploaded.
The CSV migration supports entities such as Products, Product Categories, Product Manufacturers, Product Reviews, Customers, Orders, Invoices, Taxes, Stores, Coupons, CMS Pages, Blogs, and Blog Posts.
Step 3: Connect Your Target Store (X-Cart)
Next, select "X-Cart" as your target shopping cart from the dropdown list. The system will then prompt you to provide connection details for your X-Cart store. This typically involves:
- Admin URL: The URL to your X-Cart admin panel.
- Admin Login & Password: Your X-Cart administrator credentials.
- Store URL: The main URL of your X-Cart store.
- Bridge Installation: You will be instructed to download a connection bridge file. Upload this file via FTP to the root directory of your X-Cart installation. The migration wizard will then verify the bridge connection.
The connection process utilizes fields such as adminLogin, adminPwd, adminUrl, url, bridgeLocation, and token to establish a secure link for data transfer. Remember that plugin installation is required for X-Cart, specifically the Cart2Cart X-Cart Migration module, which aids in this bridge connection.
Step 4: Select Data Entities for Migration
On this screen, you will choose which types of data you wish to migrate from your VevoCart CSV files to X-Cart. You can opt to migrate all entities or select specific ones. X-Cart supports the migration of:
- Products (including variants, SKUs, and images in description)
- Product Categories
- Product Manufacturers
- Product Reviews
- Customers (including password migration)
- Orders (with invoices)
- Taxes
- Stores
- Coupons
- CMS Pages
Step 5: Configure Additional Migration Options
This crucial step allows you to fine-tune your migration. Available options for your VevoCart to X-Cart transfer include:
- Clear Target Store Data: Selecting this will remove any existing data in your X-Cart store before migration. Read more about this option here.
- Preserve IDs: Options to preserve Product IDs, Orders IDs, and Customers IDs from your VevoCart store. This is vital for maintaining existing SEO rankings and external links. Learn more about how Preserve IDs options can be used.
- Create Variants from Attributes: If your VevoCart products use attributes that need to become variants in X-Cart, enable this.
- Migrate Images in Description: Ensures that product images embedded within descriptions are transferred.
- Password Migration: Migrate customer passwords to X-Cart, allowing customers to log in with their existing credentials.
- SEO URLs & 301 SEO URLs: Crucial for maintaining your search engine rankings and link equity. This option helps create SEO-friendly URLs and automatically sets up 301 redirects from your old VevoCart URLs to the new X-Cart URLs, preventing broken links.
- Migrate Invoices: Transfer invoice data along with your orders.
- Skip Custom Attributes: Choose to exclude custom attributes if they are not needed in X-Cart.
Step 6: Map Data Fields
The data mapping step ensures that specific fields from your VevoCart CSVs align correctly with X-Cart's structure. You will typically map customer groups and order statuses from your source to their corresponding equivalents in X-Cart, ensuring data consistency and a seamless user experience post-migration.
Step 7: Perform Demo & Full Migration
Before committing to the full migration, run a free demo migration. This transfers a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your X-Cart store, allowing you to preview the results and ensure everything is working as expected. If satisfied, proceed with the full data transfer.
For added peace of mind during your full migration, consider purchasing Migration Insurance Service. This provides additional support and the option for remigrations if needed. You can learn more about how Migration Insurance works.
Post-Migration Steps
Once the data transfer is complete, several crucial steps remain to ensure your new X-Cart store is fully operational and optimized.
- Thorough Data Verification: Rigorously check all migrated data. Verify products (SKUs, pricing, images, descriptions, variants), customer accounts, order history, and CMS pages. Ensure all links work and images display correctly.
- Configure X-Cart Settings: Set up your X-Cart store's essential configurations. This includes payment gateways, shipping methods, tax settings, currency, and regional options. Install any necessary plugins or extensions that enhance functionality not covered by the core migration.
- Design and Theme Customization: Customize your X-Cart store's theme to match your brand identity and ensure an intuitive user experience.
- Update DNS Settings: Once you are confident that your X-Cart store is fully functional, update your domain's DNS records to point to your new X-Cart hosting. This makes your new store live to the public.
- Implement Remaining 301 Redirects: While the migration tool handles many 301 redirects, review your old VevoCart URLs and set up any additional necessary redirects to preserve SEO rankings and link equity.
- Test All Functionality: Perform extensive testing of your new X-Cart store, including the entire checkout process, customer registration, product search, contact forms, and any integrations with third-party services.
- Monitor SEO Performance: Keep a close eye on your search engine rankings and website traffic after the replatforming. Tools like Google Search Console can help identify any crawl errors or drops in ranking.
- Consider Recent Data Migration: If you continued to receive orders on your old VevoCart store during the migration, utilize a Recent Data Migration Service to transfer any new data, such as recent orders, customer registrations, or product updates, to your X-Cart store.

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!
