XLS Migration Reviews

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

This company has gone above and beyond

This company has gone above and beyond to help me migrate parts to my Shopify store. With my little knowledge of the process, they have been completely patient with me and have done everything they can to teach me along the way. Harry has been there every step of the way and I couldn't be happier with their migration services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about XLS migration.

Which worksheet and header layout should I use for an XLS product migration?

Put the agreed product table on the first worksheet of products.xls, with its column headers in the first nonempty row. Do not place report titles or notes above the table. Keep product_id values and the agreed column names unchanged so products and variations stay linked correctly.

Can an XLS import supply separate images for each variant?

Yes. The standard XLS template accepts image URLs for the product and its variants. The first URL in an images field is the main image; additional comma-separated URLs supply gallery images. Keep those URLs directly accessible and preserve the links between products and variants. The destination may use only one image per variation, so a source variant gallery is not a guarantee of a separate gallery in the new store.

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.
