CS-Cart Migration Reviews

Read reviews from customers who chose Next-Cart for their CS-Cart migration.

It works

Great guys, easy to follow instructions. Time scale was a bit off - but can be adjusted according to the servers props, once you know that it goes faster, either way everything was migrated as expected. Support team was always there and easy to reach. Helped out to modify the migration tool as asked. Highly recommended!

Richard

So far so good

So far so good - we're still in development stages but it has worked and we're just tweaking for those advanced configuration and products. Their support is immaculate with super fast response times. Reliable and will most definitely use again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about CS-Cart migration.

Will CS-Cart Multi-Vendor sellers become working vendor accounts?

Next-Cart exports company information as manufacturer-style data and links products to those company references. This can retain seller identity information, but it does not recreate vendor logins, commissions or marketplace operations. Include those requirements separately when agreeing the migration scope.

Will CS-Cart distinguish variants from paid product extras?

Yes. For CS-Cart 4.9, 4.10+ and Multi-Vendor 4.10+, existing variants are linked in product variation groups. Ordinary options remain separate choices with supported adjustments. This keeps the distinction between a product with its own SKU and stock and an extra selected during purchase. Test both types, especially when an extension controls which choices can be combined.

Will each CS-Cart variation have its own gallery?

In CS-Cart 4.10 and newer, imported variations share the parent product’s gallery. Each variation can use its supplied main image; if that image is missing, the parent image is used as a fallback. Separate multi-image galleries for each variation are not recreated. Check products whose colors or sizes have different image sets before the full migration.

Can long product codes be shortened when migrating to CS-Cart?

Next-Cart's CS-Cart 4.10-and-newer import shortens product codes to 64 characters. Check codes that share a long prefix, because different source codes can become identical after shortening. This describes this migration connection, not a universal limit for every CS-Cart version.

Can I migrate the data myself, or can Next-Cart do it for me?

Available services depend on your migration path. Standard Migration lets you use the tool yourself with technical support. With Managed Migration, our technicians carry out the agreed migration. Custom Migration covers tailored requirements, with the migration carried out by you or our team as agreed. Data types must be supported by both connections; choosing expert handling does not by itself add unsupported data.

Can I try the migration before purchasing?

Where a self-service Demo Migration is available for your migration path, you can try it for free before purchasing. It transfers a small sample of supported data so you can check the result. Add-ons and custom work are not included in the self-service demo. For a file-based, custom or technician-assisted evaluation, contact us first to agree the test scope and any applicable cost.

How is the migration cost calculated?

Your data types and quantities determine the Entity Points total and the plan you need. The cost also depends on your chosen service, add-ons, and any custom work. Use the pricing calculator for an estimate; custom work is reviewed and quoted separately.

Can my current store keep accepting orders during the migration?

If you are migrating from a live store, it can normally keep taking orders while Next-Cart copies its data. The migration does not delete or change the source data. Plan the final update and the switch to the new store separately so recent orders and other changes are included. For file-based migrations, changes made after an export require a fresh export; an uploaded file is not a live connection to the store.

Can I repeat the migration or transfer new and updated data later?

Yes. Your license allows repeat runs for the same store and migration path for 12 months from purchase, within your plan’s data limit. Continuing the previous migration can add eligible new records without importing the same mapped records again.

Changing records already migrated is separate: the paid Data Update add-on can update selected fields where your source, target version and those fields are supported. Keep the existing migration links and leave target-data clearing off. It does not automatically update every field or provide continuous synchronization.

Can I upgrade my plan or service after purchasing?

Yes. While your license is valid, you can increase your plan’s data limit and upgrade to a higher service where it is available for your migration path. You can move from Standard Migration to Managed Migration or Custom Migration, or from Managed Migration to Custom Migration.

If you already use Custom Migration, you can add custom work after a review and quote. You pay only the additional amount, and your license expiry date stays the same.
