Seamlessly Migrate Your E-commerce Store from Visualsoft to WIX: The Ultimate Guide
Seamlessly Migrate Your E-commerce Store from Visualsoft to WIX
Embarking on an e-commerce platform migration can feel like a daunting task, but with the right guidance and tools, it can be a smooth transition that propels your business forward. This comprehensive guide is designed for merchants looking to move their online store from Visualsoft to WIX, a popular platform known for its user-friendly interface, robust design capabilities, and extensive app marketplace. By transferring your critical store data, including products, customer information, and order history, you can leverage WIX's modern features while maintaining your business continuity and SEO rankings.
We will walk you through each crucial step, ensuring data integrity and a successful replatforming process. This guide leverages an automated migration solution, streamlining the complex process of transferring your valuable e-commerce assets.
Prerequisites for Migration
Before initiating your Visualsoft to WIX store transfer, preparing both your source and target platforms is essential to ensure a seamless data migration. Adhering to these prerequisites will save you time and prevent potential roadblocks.
- For Your Visualsoft Store (Source):
- Admin Access: You will need full administrative access credentials (login, password, and URL) to your Visualsoft store.
- FTP/SFTP Access: As Visualsoft connects via a "Bridge only" method, you'll need FTP or SFTP access to your Visualsoft store's root directory. This is necessary to upload the Cart2Cart Visualsoft Migration module, which includes the connection bridge file. This bridge facilitates secure communication between your Visualsoft database and the migration tool.
- Data Backup: Always create a complete backup of your Visualsoft store's database and files. This is a crucial safety measure before any major data operation.
- For more details on preparing your source store, refer to our How to prepare Source store for migration? guide.
- For Your WIX Store (Target):
- Active WIX Account: Ensure you have an active WIX account with a new, preferably empty, WIX store ready to receive the migrated data. It is highly recommended to start with a clean WIX store to avoid data conflicts.
- WIX Business & eCommerce Plan: To utilize WIX's e-commerce functionalities, you must have a WIX Business & eCommerce plan activated.
- Basic Setup: While the migration tool handles data transfer, you might want to perform basic setup on your WIX store, such as selecting a template or ensuring your account is fully verified.
- For detailed instructions on preparing your target store, check out our How to prepare Target store for migration? article.

Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide
Follow these detailed steps to execute your Visualsoft to WIX migration efficiently using an automated migration wizard.
Step 1: Start Your Migration
Begin your migration journey by navigating to the migration wizard. This initial step allows you to select the type of migration you wish to perform.
Step 2: Source Store Setup (Visualsoft)
The next critical phase involves configuring your Visualsoft store as the source of your e-commerce data. Select "Visualsoft" from the dropdown list of supported carts.
Provide your Visualsoft store's URL. As Visualsoft uses a "Bridge only" connection method, you will be prompted to download the Cart2Cart Visualsoft Migration module. This module contains a connection bridge file. Upload this bridge file to the root directory of your Visualsoft installation using your FTP or SFTP client. The bridge acts as a secure gateway, enabling the migration tool to access your Visualsoft database. If you're unsure about the root folder, consult our guide: What is a root folder and where can I find it? Once uploaded, provide the full URL to the bridge file, and the system will verify the connection.
Step 3: Target Store Setup (WIX)
Now, set up your WIX store as the destination for your migrated data. Select "WIX" as your target shopping cart from the available options. Enter your WIX store's URL. The migration tool will then guide you through the process of connecting to your WIX account, which typically involves providing necessary administrative credentials or authorizing access through the WIX App Market.
Step 4: Select Data Entities for Migration
This crucial step allows you to define exactly what data you wish to transfer from Visualsoft to WIX. The migration tool supports a wide array of entities from Visualsoft, including:
- Products
- Products Categories
- Products Manufacturers
- Products Reviews
- Customers
- Orders
- Invoices
- Taxes
- Stores
- Coupons
- CMS Pages
You can choose to migrate "All entities" with a single click or handpick specific data types that are relevant to your new WIX store. Additionally, you can select important source options like "Preserve Product IDs", "Preserve Orders IDs", "Preserve Customers IDs", "SEO URLs", and "301 SEO URLs" to maintain data integrity and search engine rankings.
Step 5: Map Data Fields
To ensure consistency between your Visualsoft and WIX stores, you will need to map corresponding data fields. This step typically involves matching customer groups, order statuses, and other custom fields from your source store to their equivalents in WIX. Proper data mapping is vital for maintaining the logical structure and functionality of your new store.
Step 6: Configure Additional Migration Options
This stage offers a selection of powerful additional options to customize your data transfer. These include:
- Migrate Images in Description: Ensure product images embedded in descriptions are transferred.
- Clear Target: This option will delete all existing data in your WIX store before the migration, ensuring a clean slate. Learn more about Clear current data on Target store before migration option.
- Preserve Product IDs, Orders IDs, Customers IDs: Maintain original IDs from Visualsoft, which can be crucial for inventory management, CRM, and historical data. Understand How Preserve IDs options can be used?.
- SEO URLs & 301 SEO URLs: Critically important for maintaining your search engine rankings and preserving link equity by automatically redirecting old Visualsoft URLs to their new WIX counterparts.
- Migrate Invoices: Transfer all your invoicing data.
- Password Migration: Migrate customer passwords securely.
- Skip Custom Attributes: Choose to exclude custom attributes if they are not needed on WIX.
Carefully review and select these options based on your specific business requirements.
Step 7: Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full data transfer, it's highly recommended to run a free demo migration. This partial transfer moves a limited number of entities (e.g., a few products, customers, and orders) to your WIX store. The demo allows you to:
- Verify the accuracy of the data transfer.
- Check the effectiveness of your data mapping.
- Identify and resolve any potential issues before the full migration.
This step is invaluable for ensuring data integrity and a smooth transition.
Step 8: Perform Full Migration
Once you are satisfied with the results of your demo migration and have made any necessary adjustments, proceed with the full data migration. This will transfer all selected data from your Visualsoft store to WIX. During this process, you may consider adding Migration Insurance Service, which offers a set number of remigrations, providing peace of mind in case any unforeseen issues arise or you wish to re-run the process. For more information, see How Migration Insurance works?.
Post-Migration Steps
After the full data transfer to WIX is complete, there are several crucial post-migration steps to ensure your new store is fully operational, optimized, and ready for your customers.
- Thorough Data Verification: This is perhaps the most critical step. Log into your new WIX admin panel and meticulously check all migrated data. Verify:
- Products: Ensure all SKUs, variants, images, descriptions, prices, and inventory levels are accurate.
- Categories: Confirm category structures and product assignments.
- Customers: Check customer accounts, historical order data, and contact information.
- Orders: Review order history, statuses, and associated customer data.
- Reviews & Ratings: Verify that product reviews have been transferred correctly.
- CMS Pages & Blogs: If migrated, check content and formatting.
- Configure WIX Storefront & Settings:
- Design & Theme: Customize your WIX store's design, layout, and branding to match your vision.
- Payment Gateways: Set up and test all payment methods (e.g., credit card processors, PayPal).
- Shipping Options: Configure shipping zones, rates, and carriers.
- Taxes: Ensure tax settings are correctly configured for your location and products.
- Apps & Integrations: Install any necessary WIX apps or integrations for marketing, analytics, customer service, etc.
- SEO Optimization & Redirects:
- 301 Redirects: If you used the "301 SEO URLs" option during migration, double-check that they are working correctly. This is vital for preserving your SEO rankings and link equity by directing traffic from old Visualsoft URLs to their new WIX counterparts.
- Update Sitemaps: Generate and submit a new sitemap to Google Search Console and other search engines.
- Monitor Search Console: Keep an eye on your WIX site's performance in Google Search Console for any crawl errors or indexing issues.
- Google Analytics: Set up and verify Google Analytics or other tracking tools on your new WIX site.
- Test Everything: Conduct comprehensive testing of your entire WIX store functionality:
- Checkout Process: Perform test purchases from product selection to payment and order confirmation.
- User Accounts: Test customer registration, login, and account management features.
- Product Search & Filtering: Ensure customers can easily find products.
- Mobile Responsiveness: Check how your store performs on various devices.
- Update DNS Records: Once you are completely satisfied with your WIX store, update your domain's DNS records to point to your new WIX site. This will direct all your web traffic to the new platform.
- Announce Your New Store: Inform your customers about your new and improved store. Use email marketing, social media, and on-site banners to make the announcement.
- Post-Migration Support: If you continue to receive new orders on your old Visualsoft store during the transition, consider our Recent Data Migration Service to transfer any new data seamlessly.

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!
Review source
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.
