Frequently Asked Questions

Is multiple language transfer to OpenCart possible?

Cart2Cart supports multilingual transfer across different carts. However, you should look up the migrated data table above to make sure this option is available for your migration case.

Is it possible to export customers to OpenCart?

To determine if the tool can migrate your Zen Cart webshop customers to OpenCart, please consult the list of transferable entities. Then, simply activate the Customers checkbox while configuring the switch in the Migration Wizard to indicate you’d like to move the customer data.

Is it possible to restart Demo Migration?

Yes, Cart2Cart data migration tool permits the users to restart Demo Migrations as many times as needed to different Target platforms. In order to achieve it - do the following:
  1. Go to to your Cart2Cart account.
  2. Navigate to My Migrations List.
  3. Find the required migration where the demo is completed, and press the "Continue Migration" button.
  4. Once done, get back to the second step of the Migration Wizard "Demo Migration" and just activate "Start Demo Migration" button. The Demo store data transfer will start over again.

How much do you charge for the migration service?

The Cart2Cart pricing is flexible. The replatforming cost depends on:
  • source platform type (the one you move from)
  • target platform type (the one you import the data to)
  • volume of types to transfer -namely, the count of products, customers, and orders.
You can estimate the cost of your replatforming with Cart2Cart with the help of the Migration Estimator.

Can I see how the service works without paying for it?

Yes, the Cart2Cart database migration service offers a free unlimited Demo Migration feature (test transfer). It makes it possible to migrate a limited number of data entities (up to 10 products, customers, orders and other data related to them) from Zen Cart to your new OpenCart shopping cart in around 10-15 minutes. When you are happy with the Demo results, you can move on with the Full (paid) replatforming.

Will the migration affect my existing store?

Absolutely not. The transfer process doesn’t impact your existing eCommerce platform in any way. You can go on selling as always while the data is being moved.

Will my Zen Cart store data be affected by the migration?

No, your migrated Zen Cart e-store info isn't impacted by the transfer at all. Actually, the data (products, customers, orders, etc.) is only “copied”(exported) from Zen Cart and “pasted” (imported) into your OpenCart store database.

So, the data transfer process is totally secure for the e-shop that is migrated and there is zero risk of losing any of the data. We guarantee 100% uptime and data security during the transfer via Cart2Cart database migration tool. In other words, you can keep selling while your Source Store data is being transferred to the new shopping cart.

How do I perform a product export from Zen Cart to OpenCart store?

To automatically transfer your products from Zen Cart to OpenCart, simply activate the necessary checkbox(Products) while setting up your migration.

How do I export orders from Zen Cart platform to OpenCart?

To move the orders from Zen Cart to OpenCart, you need to click the required field (Orders) in Migration Wizard during switch configuration and your Zen Cart orders will be moved to OpenCart right away.

Does Cart2Cart migration process impact my Zen Cart store performance?

No, the data transfer doesn’t harm either the speed, or the performance of your current Zen Cart eCommerce website. The Cart2Cart migration service just exports the data from your Zen Cart eCommerce website and imports it into the new OpenCart one. It doesn’t harm the eCommerce website in any way, so it can run as usual.

Please, follow these steps to export your Zen Cart store database from to OpenCart:
  • Select Zen Cart and OpenCart carts from the list.

I have done my first successfully migration from Virtuemart to Opencart. I must say that this service saved me a lot of work and scripting. The demo possibility is perfect to try out, trial and error before committing.



This was the perfect solution for me and I am going to use it again very soon, only this time Virtuemart to Prestashop. Looking forward to use your service again.

I needed to switch from Interspire to OpenCart, after doing a little bit of research I’ve understood there’s no easy way to import all the data without hours of work so I’ve asked the guys from Cart2Cart to do it for me. Everything went smooth without any problems. Will recommend them in the future

I just used the demo to migrate a few products, customers etc. All I can say is WOW. Does exactly what it says, not tweaking to do! The demo only took a few minutes and is VERY easy for the end user. I am going to do the full migration now. I very much recommend this product! I went from Virtuemart 2 to Opencart by the way.

I can’t say anything but EXCELLENT. These guys know their job and do it with perfectness. I was migrating from the ZenCart store to Magento 2, and they helped me through the whole process. Especially, I want to thank Lena and Nina, as they were really helpful with all my concerns and doubts. Support is the best. That’s what I call SUPER CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I had close to 8,000 products in a ZenCart store that I needed to migrate to Shopify. C2C did it all for me quickly and inexpensively. It’s the best solution out there that I’ve found to move from one eCommerce platform to another.

I’ve used the service/software for two website migrations (ZenCart to WooCommerce). The second one failed, also because of my own error, but the supprt was great and Cart2Cart team helped getting it all working flawless.



Very impressed by this software and even more by the aftersales support. Will use again when needed.

It’s amazing how Cart2Cart was able to move products (many with tons of variants), images, orders, and more flawlessly from ZenCart to Shopify. It saved many many hours of what would have been imperfect and frustrating labor. Bravo!

We switched from ZenCart to 3DCart and was skeptical about doing the manual migration but Cart2Cart was there with technical online chat every step of the way and it was a smooth, easy and affordable transition. THANK YOU so much! Your support technicians were friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.
