I had used Cart2Cart 3 years ago for a migration from OSCommerce to Joomla/Virtuemart. I struggled with Virtuemart for 3 years and am sick of it. So remembering the good job they did 3 years ago, I had them migrate my data from VirtueMart to WooCommerce. Everything went smoothly except my photos didn’t get transferred correctly. I emailed them and gave them FTP access and they got everything fixed right up. I think they went out of their way to get my stuff up and going. I will use them again when I get sick of WooCommerce unless it works like it is supposed to

You were wonderful. Very helpful. You did the demo migration and now are doing the full migration. This is saving days of work on my part in moving the data in VirtueMart to the the new version. I have other clients that will be using VirtueMart and we will need your service for them. I will mention your service in the Joomla and VirtueMart forums.

This service is just great. I actually migrate my oscommerce shop to virtuemart and of course I want to keep my customers and orders. So I did decide to use cart2cart service to do that task. The result is impressive. Everything worked without any problem.

I can recommend that service to everybody. It works great.

Thank you.

This was the only service that worked for X-Cart5 to PrestaShop migration. Other paid service (even a paid “pro” module on PrestaShop store) revealed completely useless. With Cart2Cart I was able to test migration and quickly see any issue on the target shop. I recommend it

We migrated a large x-cart site to shopify. This was the only app that could help us migrate hundreds of thousands of orders and customers. They were extremely knowledgeable and responsive. They answered my questions quickly and accurately. The initial migration went smoothly with no errors. The final migration at launch (to bring in the newest orders and customers) went equally as well. Data security was also handled to my satisfaction. Definitely would recommend this app.

Recently used this service to migrate a customer list from X-Cart store to new WordPress website using Woocommerce. The free demo was a great feature. Support has been very impressive. The migration itself took about 3 minutes with perfect results. I would highly recommend this service.

I have been working to migrate thousands of orders from an old X-Cart installation (v4) to a new WooCommerce installation and happened upon Cart2Cart. I was skeptical at first as X-Cart is not an easy database to navigate and I have had mixed results with other imports or exports over the years. But, I ran the Cart2Cart test import and BAM! – Perfect. This was the best $200 I ever spent. Thanks guys for the great software and customer support.

We used Cart2Cart to migrate our Huge X-Cart store to a sleek new Shopify store and the transition was fantastic. We were up and running very quickly without any major complications. Would highly suggest this service to anyone wanting to migrate to a new shopping cart system.

The site we had migrated was http://www.CircleTrackSupply.com if you want to see it! 😀

Thanks, Cart2Cart.

We recently migrated from X-Cart to Magento. The Cart2Cart service migrated thousands and thousands of products, users and orders flawlessly, Saving me over a weeks worth of programming time, (in a one man department that’s major).

We had a small hiccup early in the process and the staff was on it quickly and solved the issue.

One piece of advice for non-techies. If the store is simple you can probably do it yourself, if it’s a complex situation, (multi store etc.) you might try their service, (they might have been able to save me even more time and I am a techie).

Thanks folks, I’d recommend this to anyone about to undertake a store migration.
