Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use an automated tool or hire an expert for CS-Cart to VirtueMart migration?

Automated tools like ours streamline CS-Cart to VirtueMart migration, offering speed and cost-effectiveness via bridge connections. However, for highly customized stores or complex data structures, an Ultimate Data Migration Service, which includes expert assistance, can provide tailored support and peace of mind for your replatforming project.

What data entities can be migrated from CS-Cart to VirtueMart?

We can migrate core data such as products, customers, orders, categories, and manufacturers from CS-Cart to VirtueMart. Both platforms utilize a bridge connection and require specific modules (Cart2Cart CS-Cart Migration module, Cart2Cart VirtueMart Migration module) for a comprehensive and accurate transfer. View basic migration options.

How long does a typical CS-Cart to VirtueMart migration take?

The duration of your CS-Cart to VirtueMart migration varies based on data volume and customization. A demo migration usually takes minutes, while full migrations can range from a few hours to several days. We aim for efficiency, with most projects completed swiftly. Get an estimation.

How can I ensure data accuracy after migrating from CS-Cart to VirtueMart?

How can I prevent SEO ranking loss when migrating from CS-Cart to VirtueMart?

We preserve your SEO rankings by migrating 301 redirects, product/category URLs, and metadata from CS-Cart to VirtueMart. This protects your existing organic traffic and search engine visibility during the replatforming process. Implement post-migration SEO checks for optimal results. Explore post-migration SEO tips.

Will my store's design and theme transfer when moving from CS-Cart to VirtueMart?

No, themes and design elements do not directly transfer during a CS-Cart to VirtueMart data migration. You will need to select or develop a new theme for your VirtueMart store, which requires Joomla integration, and recreate any design customizations. Choose your eCommerce template.

What factors influence the cost of migrating from CS-Cart to VirtueMart?

The cost of your CS-Cart to VirtueMart migration depends on the number of entities (products, customers, orders) and chosen additional options. Features like 301 redirects, preserving IDs, or migrating customer passwords will affect the final price. Our pricing is transparent and scalable. Calculate your migration cost.

Is my store's data secure during the CS-Cart to VirtueMart migration?

Yes, data security is our top priority. Your CS-Cart and VirtueMart store data is transferred via a secure bridge connection (HTTPS, 128-bit SSL encryption). We do not store any sensitive information, ensuring your data remains protected throughout the entire migration process. Read our Security Policy.

Will my CS-Cart store experience downtime during migration to VirtueMart?

No, your CS-Cart store remains fully functional. The migration process, utilizing a secure bridge connection, operates on an external server to transfer data to VirtueMart. This ensures zero downtime for your customers during the transition. Read our Security Policy.

Can customer passwords be migrated from CS-Cart to VirtueMart?

Yes, secure customer password migration from CS-Cart to VirtueMart is possible. This typically requires enabling a specific "Password Migration" option within the Cart2Cart migration wizard, often supported via the bridge connection for both platforms. Understand password migration.

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.

Just wanted to say what a fantastic service this is. Saved me hours of work and helped me to transfer my products and attributes to CS Cart from Zencart.

The support provided is also fantastic and helped me sort out my issues very quickly. I will be using this service again and highly recommend it to anyone. It’s a lot easier than messing about with Easy Populate and CSV files.

Thanks again for this great service and top notch support
