This is my first use of Cart2Cart migration process and this company is awesome! My company managed lots of migration manually before trying C2C and actually we love them. Support is the best ever (thank all!) and service is A +++.

Amazing level of patience and professionalism from Cart2Cart working with our team to perform a very difficult import for a client that has been start and stop for over 2 years!! Their team gets back to questions with technical fixes within 24 hours in most cases and we are finally wrapping it up! Thank you for all you’ve done to help get this project to completion.

I can't praise the Cart2Cart team enough. They really took care to make sure our very large migration was a success. I would highly recommend them!

Absolute BEST! Very inexpensive (was quoted $1500 from another design company, compared to only $140), lightning fast speed with their responses, knowledgeable, and of course saved me a ton of quality time I don’t have. Will be using them again for an additional website.

Used Cart2Cart to migrate https://www.tesland.com. Ideal saves you a ton of time. Even have the option to do it multiple times so you can set up the new site with the correct data in it. And then before you go live with the new site, you can import the latest data again.

Miva Merchant Monthly Pulse: Navigating the Era of AI-Native Commerce
The latest analysis of Miva Merchant reveals a platform that is successfully transitioning from a traditional high-performance engine into a sophisticated, AI-native ecosystem. With the recent debut of the 26 R1 release, Miva is not merely updating its software but is fundamentally reimagining the merchant's operational interface. By embedding AI reporting assistants and native margin awareness directly into the core workflow, the platform is addressing the critical need for mid-market and enterprise merchants to make faster, data-driven decisions in an increasingly complex global market.
Industry Footprint and B2B Excellence
Miva continues to solidify its reputation as a premier solution for complex commerce models, recently being named a leading B2B ecommerce solution in the 2024 Paradigm B2B Report. This recognition is supported by a stable market presence of over 1,500 active stores, with merchants achieving record-breaking performance, including the single biggest sales day in the platform's 27-year history during Cyber Monday 2023. This growth underscores Miva's value proposition of providing a flexible, high-ROI alternative to restrictive SaaS models, particularly for businesses with large product lines and intricate B2B requirements.
Infrastructure Resilience and Modernized Management
The 26 R1 update introduces the first phase of a modernized admin experience, emphasizing usability and speed. By focusing on website performance as the primary driver of Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV), Miva has optimized its core infrastructure to deliver lightning-fast load times that reduce cart abandonment and enhance the user experience. This technical commitment ensures that merchants can manage high-volume operations with reduced administrative friction, maintaining a high-performance environment even during peak traffic periods.
Expansion of the AI-Driven Ecosystem
A pivotal shift in Miva’s strategy is the launch of Vexture, an AI-powered product search and discovery tool. By integrating intent-based search and dynamic merchandising, Miva is empowering merchants to deliver highly personalized shopping experiences. Early adopters of the Vexture infrastructure have reported significant gains, with some seeing up to 4x higher conversion rates and a 20% increase in average order values. This move effectively turns the platform into a distribution-agnostic commerce engine that prioritizes customer discovery over traditional manual sorting.
Operational Efficiency through Native Innovation
The release of MivaPay, a native payment solution powered by PayPal, represents a major step toward simplifying the transaction lifecycle. This integration allows online sellers to deploy a seamless, flexible checkout experience in minutes, removing the complexities of third-party dependencies. For enterprise-grade merchants, this native approach to payments—combined with precise tools for weight management and flexible fee applications in version 10.11—provides unparalleled control over the total cost of ownership and operational transparency.
Trust Protocols and Data Governance
Miva has reinforced its commitment to security and reliability by completing the SOC 2 Type 1 Attestation. This rigorous audit validates Miva’s data management controls, providing high-volume merchants with the peace of mind necessary to handle sensitive customer data. Furthermore, the platform's focus on proprietary server environments ensures that innovations like Vexture run without third-party dependencies, safeguarding data sovereignty and ensuring long-term architectural stability for growing brands.
Strategic Migration: The Path to Scalable Growth
We are seeing an increasing trend of specialized merchants in the automotive, industrial supply, and B2B sectors migrating to Miva to leverage its superior handling of large, complex product catalogs. Brands are choosing Miva because it offers no-code PageBuilder tools alongside deep developer extensibility through its new API platform. By providing a self-hosted, scalable environment that avoids the "SaaS tax," Miva has become the destination for established businesses that require architectural flexibility and a platform capable of evolving with the rapid shifts in AI-driven retail.
