How to Migrate to Arastta

This step-by-step guide details how to securely migrate to Arastta from any other e-commerce platform using Cart2Cart, ensuring complete data integrity for your online storefront.

  1. Register and Initiate: Create a Cart2Cart account to begin your platform switch. This initial step is free and takes only a minute.
  2. Connect Your Source Store: Provide the credentials for your current platform to allow secure API access for the data transfer.
  3. Connect Arastta Target Store: Prepare your data for import by providing a CSV file containing your store information. Arastta will be set up as the target for this file-based data move.
  4. Select Data and Options: Choose which data entities to move, including products, SKUs, and customer orders. Configure crucial options like 301 redirects to preserve your SEO rankings.
  5. Run a Free Demo Migration: Launch a free test transfer to move a limited set of your data. This allows you to check the results directly in your new Arastta store before the full replatforming.
  6. Launch the Full Migration: Once satisfied with the demo, start the full migration. The process runs on our servers, ensuring no downtime for your business.

Pro-Tip: Arastta migrations using this method are file-based, meaning data is imported via a CSV file. This is a target-only migration via CSV file import, so ensure your file is correctly formatted.

    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 +++.

    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.

    Arastta Monthly Pulse: Navigating the Open Source Frontier with Community-Led Agility

    This month’s analysis of Arastta highlights its enduring position as a community-centric, open-source alternative in a landscape increasingly dominated by monolithic SaaS solutions. Born from a heritage of robust eCommerce development in Istanbul, Arastta continues to leverage its 100 percent open-source architecture to offer merchants unparalleled data sovereignty. While market share data from 6Sense indicates Arastta holds a niche position within the broader eCommerce Platform category, its value proposition is strengthening among developers and cost-conscious startups who prioritize complete source code ownership and a modular, "no-SaaS-tax" infrastructure over recurring subscription models.

    Industry Footprint and Market Mindshare

    Arastta maintains a strategic foothold within the Open Source eCommerce sector, particularly resonating in markets like Turkey and Western Europe. Recent competitive benchmarking reveals that while its absolute customer count remains smaller than legacy giants like xt:Commerce, Arastta is carving out a reputation for modernized core architecture. This growth is fueled by its "Cloud & Self-Hosted" hybrid model, which allows businesses to scale from a free, community-supported environment into a professional cloud-managed ecosystem without the friction of a platform migration, effectively democratizing enterprise-grade features for the mid-market.

    Infrastructure Resilience and Performance Benchmarking

    The platform’s technical cycle has recently focused on optimizing the Ajaxified checkout flow. By reducing the core checkout process to just three logical steps, Arastta has addressed the primary driver of cart abandonment. This architecture ensures that data submitted is retained in-session, allowing for a frictionless user experience where customers can modify details without page reloads. For merchants, this performance-first approach translates directly into higher conversion rates and a significant reduction in server-side overhead during high-traffic promotional periods.

    Expansion of the Marketplace and Developer Ecosystem

    Arastta’s ecosystem continues to mature, with its built-in Marketplace now serving as a central hub for seamless extension management. A key update this month has been the enhancement of one-click installation for themes and translations directly from the admin panel. This eliminates the "developer bottleneck" for non-technical store owners, while the platform's reliance on PHP 5.3.10+ ensures broad compatibility with standard hosting environments. By fostering a volunteer-friendly community on platforms like GitHub, Arastta is accelerating the release of localized digital wares, keeping the platform competitive with much larger commercial ecosystems.

    Flagship Innovation: Unified Layout and Menu Management

    The standout feature in recent cycles is the Drag-and-Drop Layout Manager, which brings a WordPress-like ease of use to complex eCommerce management. This tool allows merchants to rearrange storefront elements and customize multi-level menus without writing a single line of code. By prioritizing UI/UX intuitiveness through its "Basic" and "Advanced" dashboard modes, Arastta is successfully bridging the gap between beginner accessibility and the deep customization requirements of veteran eCommerce operators, making it a versatile tool for diverse business models.

    Trust Protocols and Data Sovereignty

    In an era of frequent data breaches, Arastta has reinforced its commitment to security through transparency. Because the platform allows for complete file and database management, enterprise users can implement bespoke security headers and proprietary encryption protocols that are often restricted on closed SaaS platforms. Recent updates have focused on ensuring compliance with global privacy standards, positioning Arastta as a profoundly secure environment for high-volume merchants who require absolute control over their sensitive customer and transaction data.

    Global Reach and Multilingual Localization

    Arastta’s global footprint has expanded through community-driven localization efforts, now supporting over 35 languages including comprehensive RTL support for Middle Eastern markets. The platform’s multi-language SEO architecture ensures that SEF (Search Engine Friendly) URLs are generated for each locale, preventing duplicate content issues that plague international retailers. This localized agility, combined with Facebook Store compatibility, enables Arastta merchants to reach global audiences while maintaining a cohesive brand presence across social and search channels.

    Strategic Migration: The Shift to Open Source Cloud

    We are seeing an increasing trend of merchants migrating from restrictive platforms to Arastta Cloud to reclaim their technical independence. These businesses are choosing Arastta because it offers the "best of both worlds": the zero-maintenance convenience of the cloud combined with the freedom to modify the underlying source code. Recent migrations emphasize the platform's SEO-optimized core and advanced affiliate systems as primary drivers for brands looking to build proprietary marketing engines that they own entirely, free from the limitations of third-party app stores.
