Migrate DaWanda to Ecwid: The Essential Guide for Your Store's Future
Seamlessly Transition Your E-commerce Store from DaWanda to Ecwid
The closure of DaWanda marked a significant shift for many talented artisans and merchants. If you’re looking to replatform your online store to a robust, scalable, and user-friendly platform, Ecwid stands out as an excellent choice. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the entire process of migrating your valuable e-commerce data from DaWanda to Ecwid, ensuring a smooth transition for your business and its customers.
Given that DaWanda is no longer operational, the most effective method for data extraction is via CSV file export. This guide leverages this approach for your source data and outlines the API-based transfer to your new Ecwid store.
Prerequisites for a Successful Migration
Before embarking on your store migration journey, ensure you have the following in place to guarantee a smooth and efficient data transfer:
- For Your DaWanda (Source) Data:
Since DaWanda is no longer active, the primary prerequisite is to have all your store data meticulously exported into CSV (Comma Separated Values) files. This typically includes:
- Product Data: SKUs, product names, descriptions, pricing, inventory levels, variants, images, and categories.
- Customer Information: Names, email addresses, billing, and shipping details.
- Order History: Order IDs, dates, purchased items, customer details, and order statuses.
- Product Reviews and Ratings: Important for retaining social proof.
These CSV files will serve as your source data for the migration process. For more details on preparing your source, refer to our guide on how to prepare your Source store for migration.
- For Your Ecwid (Target) Store:
- An Active Ecwid Account: Ensure you have created and set up your new Ecwid store.
- API Access Credentials: You will need your Ecwid Store ID and an Access Token to allow the migration tool to connect securely. These are crucial for establishing an API connection. Learn more about access credentials for Cart2Cart.
- Cart2Cart Ecwid Migration App: To facilitate the data transfer, you will need to install the Cart2Cart Ecwid Migration App within your Ecwid store's app marketplace. This app acts as a bridge for seamless data exchange.
- HTTPS Requirement: Ecwid mandates HTTPS for all API connections, which ensures secure data transfer.
- Awareness of API Rate Limits: While generally not an issue for most migrations, be aware that Ecwid has API rate limits. For extremely large stores, this might impact migration speed, but our service is designed to manage this efficiently.
For additional guidance on setting up your target platform, check our FAQ on preparing your Target store.
Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide
Our migration wizard simplifies the complex process of moving your data. Follow these steps to transition your DaWanda store data to Ecwid.
Step 1: Start Your Migration
Begin by navigating to the migration wizard on our platform. Here, you'll choose to start a new migration process.
Step 2: Connect Your DaWanda (CSV) Source Store
As DaWanda is not directly supported, you'll select "CSV File to Cart" as your Source Cart. You will then be prompted to upload the CSV files containing your DaWanda store data, including products, customers, and orders. This is how your DaWanda information enters our migration system.
Step 3: Connect Your Ecwid Target Store
Next, select "Ecwid" as your Target Cart. To establish the connection, you will need to provide your Ecwid Store ID and Access Token. This step securely links our migration tool to your new Ecwid store. Ensure you have installed the Cart2Cart Ecwid Migration App in your Ecwid store as part of this process.
Step 4: Select Data Entities for Transfer
This critical step allows you to choose exactly what data you wish to transfer to Ecwid. You can select all available entities or pick specific ones, such as:
- Products (including SKUs, variants, and product categories)
- Customers
- Orders
- Product Reviews
- Coupons
- CMS Pages
- Blogs Posts
Carefully review your selections to ensure all essential information is included.
Step 5: Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with a range of additional options designed to preserve data integrity and SEO rankings:
- Clear Target Store Data: Opt to clear current data on your Target store before migration, useful for fresh Ecwid setups.
- Preserve Order IDs: Maintain your original order numbering system. Learn how Preserve IDs options can be used.
- Migrate Images in Description: Ensure product images embedded in descriptions are transferred.
- Create 301 SEO URLs: Crucial for maintaining SEO rankings and link equity by redirecting old DaWanda URLs to their new Ecwid counterparts.
- Migrate all Categories: Ensures your category structure is fully transferred.
Step 6: Map Data Fields
To ensure data consistency, you'll need to map certain data fields from your source (CSV) to your target (Ecwid). This typically involves matching customer groups and order statuses from your DaWanda data to the corresponding fields in Ecwid. This step ensures that customer roles and order states are correctly represented in your new store.
Step 7: Run the Free Demo Migration and Full Migration
We highly recommend running a Free Demo Migration first. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., a few products, customers, and orders) to Ecwid, giving you the opportunity to review the results and ensure everything is transferring as expected. Once satisfied, you can proceed with the Full Migration. Consider adding Migration Insurance for added peace of mind and the option for remigrations.
Post-Migration Steps
Completing the migration is a major milestone, but a few crucial steps remain to ensure your new Ecwid store is fully operational and optimized.
- Review Migrated Data: Thoroughly inspect all transferred data on your Ecwid store. Check product listings (SKUs, variants, descriptions, images), customer accounts, and order history to ensure accuracy and completeness.
- Configure Ecwid Store Settings: Set up essential aspects of your Ecwid store, including payment gateways, shipping options, tax settings, and general store policies.
- Implement SEO Redirects: If you used the 301 SEO URLs option during migration, verify that all redirects from your old DaWanda URLs to your new Ecwid pages are functioning correctly. This is vital for preserving your SEO rankings and maintaining link equity.
- Update DNS and Go Live: Once you are completely satisfied with your new Ecwid store, update your domain's DNS settings to point to your Ecwid store.
- Test Thoroughly: Before announcing your new store, perform comprehensive testing. Place test orders, verify customer login functionality, test contact forms, and ensure all features are working as intended.
- Announce Your New Store: Inform your customers about your exciting new Ecwid store!

Many of my customers have Magento 1 stores. This year Magento will stop supporting this system and because of this these customers need to migrate to another system. Migration can be difficult and very time consuming process. But then i found Cart2Cart. There solution is the best and affordable. With the first migration there where some problems, but i did made some mistakes with filling in the correct fields to get a connection between the current and the target store. After starting a chat these problems where fixed very quickly. Support is very good and there solution is very affordable. The perfect solution!

We were in need of migrating 10.000 orders & customers from a PrestaShop site to a Magento site, already being in use. We therefore needed to be extra careful not to erase any of the existing data, which is why we seeked out the service of Cart2Cart. With a readily available customer service providing guidance and support during the entire process, we felt secure in the choice of Cart2Cart. We also enjoyed the possibility to do a test migration to be able to verify the values, before going ahead with a full migration. The full migration was surprisingly quick, within just a couple of minutes we had successfully transfered all the data, without experiencing any issues on the site. I’d recommend Cart2Cart to anyone who are looking to simplify the process of migrating.
