I was skeptical at first, but now I’m using Cart2Cart again! Cart2Cart saved us a lot of time by aiding in the migration of our client, Tool Accessory Depot from Magento to BigCommerce. We are now in the process of moving another clients store from OSCommerce to 3DCart.



Cart2Cart support was extremely helpful, and was diligent in making sure the migration completed correctly, as they said it would.

Excellent Support for the non expert who needs a lot of assistance they spent as much time as I needed to insure I got my migration. The upload went well after the Demo. Customer service was there when I had questions or issues to fine tune after purchase. I would recommend if you need to import / migrate your Products from Shopify to Woocommerce in Word Press as I did.

Just tried a Demo migration for Cart2Cart to migrate the shop of a Shopify website into a WordPress site with WooCommerce enabled. I did have a small technical snag when setting up the Connection Bridge, however Tech Support was on the spot with quick service and even did a little dirty work for me.



So far, so great.
