Updated on April 9, 2013

Migrate to Megento

As the popularity of Magento continues to grow, more and more users consider migration from their current shopping carts to this platform. If you decide to move your data manually, soon you will see that this process can be very long and tiresome, especially with big stores and large amounts of data. You can solve this problem with the help of Cart2Cart, a shopping cart migration service, developed by MagneticOne.

Today Magento cart needs no introduction. This platform made a huge progress from an unknown shopping cart in 2008 to the leader of e­commerce world in 2012. Magento is the most powerful and highly­functional platform in e­commerce world.

As compared to other shopping carts, the most attractive features of Magento may be the following:

1) Multi­store migration support. This feature offers the possibility of running a few different online stores from one administrative panel. It can be very helpful if you want to manage several stores with different content, prices etc.

2) Marketing and SEO tools, which you can use to increase your traffic rates, analyze statistics and so on.

3) Magento cart is user­friendly and customer­oriented. Modern interface, easy navigation, possibility for clients to create their own accounts and track their shopping history ­ all these things are designed to make your customers feel comfortable at your store.

4) Community Edition, the most popular version of Magento, is free. This edition will be sufficient for most users, though there are more advanced versions, for which you will have to pay.

The high functionality of Magento shopping cart implies that it is quite difficult to work with. But all your effort will definitely be rewarding if you want your online business to develop and flourish.


To migrate to Magento with Cart2Cart all you have to do is follow the wizard instructions.

The first step is registering an account and estimating the cost of your migration. Before you proceed with migration setup, you have to make sure that your source store and your Magento shop are installed and accessible online. Also, it is recommended to back up your source store data.

After that you will need to provide URLs and cart types for both stores and download the connection bridge. Then click the Proceed button and select entities for migration. Cart2Cart supports all the main types of data: products, customers and orders.

Now you are ready to start Free Demo Migration to see how it all works. When it’s done, you may check the results on your Magento store to make sure everything is alright.

Right after that you can proceed to Full Migration, which can take some time, depending on the amount of data transferred. When the process is finished, you will receive an e­mail notification.

Many users find Magento very difficult to use. Cart2Cart is a service, which makes your work with this platform easier at least in one point ­ at the stage of migration. If you know the value of your time, Cart2Cart will be a very useful thing for you.
