OpenCart to J2Store Migration Cost

Choose an available service: self-service Standard, expert-led Managed, or scoped Custom Migration. Enter your data volumes for an estimate; add-ons and custom requirements may affect the final price.
1. Service
2. Data Volume
Source Platform
OpenCart
Target Platform
J2Store

These four data types are used to estimate the price. Other supported data, including categories, coupons, and reviews, is also migrated at no extra charge.

Custom Jobs
+$100.00

You can increase your plan’s data limit, upgrade your service, or add custom work while your license is valid.

You only pay the price difference, and your license expiry date stays the same. Custom work is reviewed and quoted separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What you need to know before migrating your store data from OpenCart to J2Store.

Will a special source product type stay the same when imported into J2Store?

In Next-Cart's built-in J2Store import, products with supplied variants become variable products; other products become simple products. A subscription or another extension-defined product type is not retained just because its original label is transferred. Confirm any special selling behavior before migration.

Yes. Existing variants are imported with their SKU, price, stock-tracking setting and linked choices. Ordinary options are imported separately and are not automatically expanded into every possible variant combination. Check the choices and stock behavior on products with several options, especially where some choices are paid extras rather than separately stocked products.

Yes. For supported products, Next-Cart copies the supplied main image and gallery to J2Store. Keep the original image links accessible and allow files to be written to the destination until you have checked the gallery. Images from extensions must be included in the source data. Images inside descriptions need the separate copying option, where available; check them before removing the old hosting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
