Migrate Arastta to PrestaShop: The Ultimate 2025 Guide for a Seamless Transition
A Comprehensive Guide to Transitioning from Arastta to PrestaShop
As your e-commerce business evolves, replatforming to a more robust and feature-rich solution like PrestaShop can unlock new opportunities for growth and efficiency. This guide will walk you through the essential steps of migrating your online store from Arastta to PrestaShop, ensuring a smooth and successful data transfer. While Arastta offered flexibility, PrestaShop provides extensive capabilities for scaling your business, managing a vast product catalog, and enhancing the customer experience.
Since Arastta data typically isn't directly connectable via an automated bridge, this migration will primarily leverage a CSV file export from your Arastta store, followed by a smart import into your new PrestaShop platform. This method allows for careful preparation and cleaning of your data, guaranteeing data integrity during the move.
Prerequisites for Migration
Before embarking on your migration journey, proper preparation is key to minimizing downtime and ensuring a successful transition. Here’s what you need to have in place:
- Backup Your Arastta Store: Always create a complete backup of your Arastta store’s database and files. This is your safety net in case any unexpected issues arise during the data export process.
- Clean Your Arastta Data: Use this opportunity to audit and clean your existing Arastta data. Remove outdated products, duplicate customer entries, or irrelevant information. This streamlines the migration and ensures you only transfer valuable data.
- Set Up Your PrestaShop Store: Have a fresh installation of PrestaShop ready. Ensure it's accessible and you have full administrative credentials (Admin URL, username, password). For guidance, refer to our guide on preparing your target store.
- Understand Connection Methods: For Arastta (as a CSV source), you'll need to export your store data into CSV files. For PrestaShop, you’ll need to enable its connection via a dedicated migration module or connection bridge.
- Access Credentials: Ensure you have full admin access to your new PrestaShop store. This includes the Admin URL, login, and password. For more on securely managing credentials, see The Short & Essential Guide to Access Credentials.
Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these detailed steps to seamlessly move your e-commerce data from Arastta to PrestaShop using a professional migration service.
Step 1: Get Started with the Migration Wizard
Begin by navigating to the migration wizard. You'll be presented with options to start a do-it-yourself migration, request assistance, or calculate costs.
Select the option to start your migration using the wizard. This will guide you through each stage of the data transfer process.
Step 2: Connect Your Source Arastta Store (via CSV)
Since Arastta is not directly integrated, you will export your data into CSV files and use this as your source. Select "CSV File to Cart" from the list of supported platforms.
Upload your prepared CSV files containing your Arastta store's data. This includes vital entities such as products (including SKUs and variants), product categories, manufacturers, customer data, order history, invoices, taxes, coupons, and CMS pages. This method ensures maximum flexibility and control over the data being transferred.
Step 3: Set Up Your Target PrestaShop Store
Next, configure your PrestaShop store as the migration target. Select "PrestaShop" from the dropdown menu and provide your PrestaShop Admin URL. To establish a secure connection, you will need to install the Cart2Cart Universal PrestaShop Migration module.
You will typically have options to connect: either by providing your admin credentials for an automatic upload of the connection bridge, installing an add-on from the PrestaShop marketplace, or manually uploading the connection bridge file to your store's root directory. The connection bridge, once installed, acts as a secure conduit for data exchange, allowing the migration tool to access and write data to your PrestaShop instance.
Step 4: Select Data Entities for Transfer
This critical step allows you to choose exactly which data types (entities) you wish to transfer from your Arastta CSV files to your new PrestaShop store. You can select all available entities or handpick specific ones based on your needs.
Common entities you'll want to migrate include:
- Products: This covers product details, SKUs, images, descriptions, variants, and product categories.
- Customers: All customer accounts, including billing and shipping addresses.
- Orders: Complete order history with statuses, products purchased, and customer details.
- Product Categories: Your entire category structure.
- Manufacturers: Vendor information associated with products.
- Product Reviews: Valuable social proof for your products.
- CMS Pages: Static content pages like 'About Us' or 'Contact Us'.
Step 5: Configure Data Mapping and Additional Options
This stage is crucial for ensuring data consistency and preserving SEO value.
Data Mapping
You'll need to map customer groups and order statuses from your Arastta data (CSV) to their corresponding fields in PrestaShop. This ensures that customer roles and order states are correctly interpreted in your new store.
Additional Migration Options
Take advantage of various additional options to tailor your migration:
- Clear Target Store Data: This option will remove any existing data in your PrestaShop store before the migration, ensuring a clean slate. Learn more about clearing target store data.
- Preserve Product, Order, and Customer IDs: Keeping original IDs can be vital for external integrations and record-keeping. Find out how preserving IDs works.
- Migrate SEO URLs & Create 301 Redirects: This is critical for maintaining your SEO rankings and link equity. It ensures that old Arastta URLs automatically redirect to the new PrestaShop URLs, preventing broken links and a poor user experience.
- Migrate Customer Passwords: Allow your customers to log into their accounts on the new PrestaShop store using their existing Arastta passwords.
- Migrate Images in Product Descriptions: Ensures all embedded images within your product and category descriptions are transferred correctly.
Step 6: Perform a Free Demo Migration (Recommended)
Before committing to the full migration, run a free demo. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10 products, 10 customers, 10 orders) to your PrestaShop store. The demo helps you:
- Verify the accuracy of the data transfer.
- Check the display of products, images, and customer information.
- Identify any potential issues or data anomalies early on.
Step 7: Initiate the Full Migration
Once you're satisfied with the demo results, proceed with the full data transfer. Review all selected entities and confirm the migration cost.
Consider adding Migration Insurance, which provides options for re-migrating your data within a specific timeframe if you discover any further adjustments are needed. Understanding how migration insurance works can give you peace of mind.
The full migration will begin, and you'll be notified upon completion. The process runs on our servers, so you can close your browser and continue with other tasks while your data is transferred.
Post-Migration Steps
After the data transfer is complete, there are several crucial steps to finalize your new PrestaShop store and ensure a flawless launch.
- Thorough Data Verification: Rigorously check your new PrestaShop store. Verify that all products, categories, customer accounts, orders, images, and other content have migrated correctly. Pay attention to product details, SKUs, prices, customer passwords, and order statuses.
- Test All Functionality: Conduct extensive testing of your PrestaShop store's core functionalities. This includes the entire checkout process, user registration, login, search filters, and product page interactions.
- Configure SEO Settings: If you used the 301 redirects option during migration, double-check that they are functioning correctly. Update your sitemap in Google Search Console and verify your robots.txt file. Maintaining your SEO value is paramount for traffic continuity.
- Install Essential Modules and Themes: Set up your preferred PrestaShop theme and install necessary modules for payment gateways, shipping, marketing automation, and any other specific functionalities your store requires.
- Update DNS Records: Once you are completely satisfied with your new PrestaShop store, update your domain's DNS records to point to your new PrestaShop hosting. This will make your new store live to the public.
- Announce Your New Store: Inform your customers about your exciting new PrestaShop store! Leverage social media, email campaigns, and website banners to share the news.

Great service which allowed us to transfer products, customers and orders database of our customer from Virtuemart to Prestashop 2 times: a first time in order to prepare the new website and a second time in order to update new customers and new orders placed in the meantime. Without Cart2Cart this would have been more complicated… A great customer service also, very available and very competent. Thanks to them

Cart2Cart helped me with several PrestaShop migrations. They always give good support, ready to listen and help if needed. I migrated several stores with 15000 products, with no problem.
This is the best migration tool I know.

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

Brilliant…I needed to migrate from oscommerce to Prestashop and Cart2cart made it so very easy. I was doubtful at first so I ran the on-line demo which put me at ease as it so worked well that I went to the next stage and migrated the entire shop. Completed in minutes, no need for any support just followed the simple on-screen instructions and that’s all there was to it. Thank you it was worth every penny
