Cart2Cart, now offers you a new way to import your data from other ecommerce solutions to HikaShop and with a ton of options! Discover Cart2Cart and learn what you can expect from it and why we think it is a terrific service for HikaShop.

So far, to migrate from another ecommerce solution to HikaShop you had to go through the Products => Import menu, where you could either import a CSV of products data or migrate products/users/address/orders/categories, etc data from a few shopping carts (OpenCart, VirtueMart, RedShop, etc).

This can either be done by downloading and installing Connection Bridge files into store root folder or by providing API credentials. You’ll be given with the detailed instructions on how to do that.
  • 3°) Choose entities
    Check the entities you’re willing to import to HikaShop from the list of available ones. Then, pick some of the additional options to expand your migration possibilities.
  • 4°) Run Free Demo
