  • amount of items to transfer -namely, the count of products, customers, and orders.
You can estimate the cost of your replatforming with Cart2Cart using the Migration Estimator.

Can I try Cart2Cart for free?

Yes, the Cart2Cart database migration service offers a free unlimited Demo Migration feature (test transfer).

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

No, your migrated Zen Cart e-shop data isn't affected by the replatforming at all. Actually, the data (products, customers, orders, etc.) is just “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 moved and there is zero risk of losing any of the data. We guarantee 100% uptime and data security during the transfer with Cart2Cart database migration tool. In other words, you can keep selling while your Source Store data is being migrated to the new eCommerce platform.

Does Cart2Cart migration process impact my Zen Cart store performance?

No, the data replatforming doesn’t influence either the speed, or the performance of your existing Zen Cart e-store. The Cart2Cart migration service just exports the info from your Zen Cart e-store and “pastes” it into the new OpenCart one. It doesn’t affect the e-store in any way, so you can keep selling as usual.

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.
