Zen Cart to WooCommerce Migration Reviews

Read reviews from customers who migrated their store data from Zen Cart to WooCommerce with Next-Cart.
Absolutely perfect!
Absolutely perfect! I had to migrate an old and full of products ZenCart e-commerce (over 2,000 products!) to a new WooCommerce. I purchased the VIP Assistance package and they took care of EVERYTHING! In a few hours they migrated my old website, with all my products, orders, customers, product images and so on... EVERYTHING! The staff is kind and patient and provides answers to all the information requested. The price list for the service is transparent and there are no surprises. If you need to transfer an old e-commerce to a new platform, next-cart.com is definitely the best solution. Absolutely recommended

Excellent service and very good value.
I used Next-Cart to migrate customer and order data from a very old and out of date version of ZenCart to my new WooCommerce website. It worked perfectly. I couldn't believe it would be so easy! Could not be happier with Next-Cart.

Frequently Asked Questions

What you need to know before migrating your store data from Zen Cart to WooCommerce.

Does your migration tool support transferring product relationships to WooCommerce?

Absolutely! Our migration tool supports transferring product links to WooCommerce, including:

  • Related products (related products will be migrated as up-sell products by default)
  • Cross-sell products
  • Up-sell products

These links will appear on your WooCommerce store, helping enhance customer recommendations.

If customer carts are stored in your source store's database or can be retrieved via the source cart's API, we can customize your migration tool to migrate them to WooCommerce.

After the migration is completed, your customers will see their carts after they log in to your new WooCommerce site. To view abandoned carts in the admin page, you need to install a WooCommerce Abandoned Cart plugin.

Wholesale pricing is not a native feature on WooCommerce. Therefore, you need to install a Wholesale plugin to enable this feature on your WooCommerce store first. Then, we will customize your migration tool to migrate products with wholesale prices to your WooCommerce store.

There are a few good WooCommerce Wholesale plugins you can consider:

  1. WooCommerce Wholesale Prices & B2B Plugin
  2. Ultimate WooCommerce Wholesale and B2B Solution
  3. Wholesale For WooCommerce

In Zen Cart, product images typically follow a specific naming convention when there are multiple images for a single product. The images are named in the format: [name]_[position].[extension]. For example, if a product has three images and the main image is named "shirt.jpg", the images would be named as follows:

  • "shirt.jpg" (main image)
  • "shirt_1.jpg" (second image)
  • "shirt_2.jpg" (third image)

Our migration tool is designed to detect and migrate images according to this naming rule. However, some Zen Cart websites are customized to allow flexible naming for product images, which may not follow this convention. In such cases, only the main image will be transferred during the migration, as additional images may not be detected by our standard migration tool.

If your Zen Cart store has been customized to allow arbitrary image naming, and you're experiencing this issue, we can customize the migration tool to accommodate your specific setup. Please let us know, and we'll adjust the tool accordingly.
