Migrating from Summer Cart to PrestaShop: A Comprehensive Guide
A Comprehensive Guide to Transitioning from Summer Cart to PrestaShop
Replatforming your e-commerce store is a significant undertaking that, when executed correctly, can unlock new growth opportunities and enhance your operational efficiency. If you're currently running your online business on Summer Cart and considering a move to PrestaShop, you're looking at a powerful and flexible open-source solution renowned for its robust feature set and extensive customization capabilities.
This guide provides a detailed, step-by-step walkthrough for migrating your valuable store data from Summer Cart to PrestaShop. Since Summer Cart is not directly supported by most automated migration tools via API, this process will involve exporting your data into CSV files and then importing them into PrestaShop. This ensures a thorough and accurate data transfer, preserving your product information, customer records, and order history.
Prerequisites for Migration
Before embarking on your store migration, ensure you have the following in place to guarantee a smooth and successful transition:
- Summer Cart Data Exported: Prepare your Summer Cart data by exporting it into CSV files. This will serve as your source data for the migration.
- A Fresh PrestaShop Installation: Have a clean, newly installed PrestaShop store ready on your hosting server. Avoid installing any themes or plugins before the migration to prevent potential conflicts. For more details on preparing your target store, consult our guide on how to prepare your target store for migration.
- FTP/SFTP Access: You'll need FTP or SFTP access to your PrestaShop store's root directory to upload the necessary connection bridge. If you're unsure about your root folder, you can learn more here: What is a root folder and where can I find it?
- PrestaShop Admin Access: Ensure you have full administrative access to your PrestaShop backend.
- Backup Your Data: Always perform a complete backup of your Summer Cart store's database and files before initiating any migration process. This is a critical safeguard.
- Migration Tool Account: Set up an account with a reputable e-commerce migration service that supports CSV file imports and PrestaShop as a target platform.
Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these detailed steps to seamlessly transfer your e-commerce data from Summer Cart to PrestaShop.
Step 1: Initiate Your Migration
Begin by navigating to the migration wizard. Here, you'll choose to start a new migration and configure your source and target platforms.
Step 2: Connect Your Source Store (Summer Cart via CSV)
Since Summer Cart is not listed as a direct connection option, you will select 'CSV File to Cart' as your source platform. Upload your prepared CSV files containing your Summer Cart data. This method allows for a comprehensive transfer of entities such as products, product categories, manufacturers, customer information, orders, and more. For in-depth guidance on this method, refer to our CSV File Data Migration service.
Step 3: Connect Your Target Store (PrestaShop)
Now, select PrestaShop as your target e-commerce platform. Provide your PrestaShop store's Admin URL. The connection method for PrestaShop is primarily via a Connection Bridge. You will need to download the Connection Bridge file, extract the 'bridge2cart' folder, and upload it to the root directory of your PrestaShop installation using FTP/SFTP. This bridge acts as a secure conduit for data exchange.
Note: PrestaShop requires the Cart2Cart Universal PrestaShop Migration module for successful data transfer. This module is typically handled automatically when you upload the bridge, or you might be prompted to install it.
Step 4: Select Data Entities for Transfer
This critical step allows you to specify exactly which data entities you wish to move from your Summer Cart CSV files to your new PrestaShop store. You can choose to migrate all supported entities or selectively pick specific data types such as:
- Products (including SKUs, variants, attributes)
- Product Categories
- Product Manufacturers
- Product Reviews
- Customers
- Orders
- Invoices
- Taxes
- Coupons
- CMS Pages
- Blogs & Blog Posts
Step 5: Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your data transfer with a range of additional options designed to optimize your new PrestaShop store and preserve SEO rankings and user experience:
- Clear Target Store Data: (Recommended) This option ensures that any existing demo data or conflicting entries in your new PrestaShop store are removed before migration. More on this here: Clear current data on Target store before migration option.
- Preserve IDs: Maintain original product, category, customer, and order IDs from Summer Cart in PrestaShop. This is crucial for maintaining historical data integrity and for internal referencing. Learn more: How Preserve IDs options can be used?.
- Create 301 Redirects: Automatically establish 301 redirects for your old Summer Cart URLs to their new PrestaShop counterparts. This is vital for preserving your SEO link equity and preventing broken links, ensuring a seamless experience for search engines and users alike.
- Migrate Images in Description: Transfer product and category images embedded within descriptions.
- Password Migration: Securely migrate customer passwords to PrestaShop.
Step 6: Map Data Fields
During this stage, you will map your Summer Cart customer groups and order statuses to their corresponding equivalents in PrestaShop. This ensures that customer roles (e.g., 'Wholesale' to 'Professional') and order states (e.g., 'Pending' to 'Awaiting payment') are correctly assigned, maintaining data consistency and proper business logic in your new store.
Step 7: Run Your Demo Migration
It's highly recommended to perform a free demo migration first. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, and orders) to your PrestaShop store. The demo serves as a valuable opportunity to review the migrated data, check for any inconsistencies, and ensure that the process aligns with your expectations before committing to a full data transfer.
Step 8: Execute Full Data Transfer
Once you are satisfied with the results of your demo migration, you can proceed with the full data transfer. This will move all your selected Summer Cart data to your PrestaShop store. During this process, ensure your internet connection is stable and avoid making any changes to either store. You might consider adding a Migration Insurance Plan, which offers additional remigrations and support. For more information, check out How Migration Insurance works?.
Post-Migration Steps
After your data has successfully been transferred to PrestaShop, there are a few crucial steps to finalize your store and ensure everything is running perfectly:
- Thorough Data Verification: Systematically review all migrated data. Check product listings (images, descriptions, prices, SKUs, variants), customer accounts, order history, and CMS pages to ensure accuracy and completeness.
- Test All Functionalities: Conduct comprehensive testing of your PrestaShop store. This includes placing test orders, checking the checkout process, verifying customer registration and login, testing search functionality, and confirming coupon codes work as expected.
- Configure SEO & URL Redirects: Even if 301 redirects were set during migration, review them. Update your sitemap and submit it to Google Search Console. Monitor your analytics for any drops in traffic or rankings. Remember, PrestaShop has multi-store limitations for BigCommerce variants and SEO options are excluded for blogs.
- Update DNS Settings: Once you're confident in 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.
- Install Essential Modules & Themes: Now is the time to install your chosen PrestaShop theme and any necessary modules or plugins that enhance functionality (e.g., payment gateways, shipping calculators, marketing tools).
- Remove Your Old Store: Once the new store is fully operational and verified, you can decommission your old Summer Cart store.
- Consider Recent Data Migration: If you had new orders or customer registrations on your Summer Cart store during the migration process, consider a recent data migration to capture these last-minute updates without overwriting existing data.
By following this comprehensive guide, you can confidently transition your e-commerce operations from Summer Cart to PrestaShop, laying the groundwork for future success on a more powerful and scalable platform.

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

I was in to move from the Magento to Prestashop.The migration was easy to set up and get running, there was a small problem with the move but the team acted quickly and resolved the issue. Excellent service.

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
