I’ve used the service/software for two website migrations (ZenCart to WooCommerce). The second one failed, also because of my own error, but the supprt was great and Cart2Cart team helped getting it all working flawless.
Very impressed by this software and even more by the aftersales support. Will use again when needed.

So now I have a perfect copy of my Shopify store on my Woocommerce platform. All within 2 days and I didn’t have to code anything – the migration took just a few clicks – fully automated. Ok, that’s it I just like when I see somebody really care about your business so I felt like I’d let the world know about my experience with this company

My migration from BigCommerce to WooCommerce was so easy, so time-saving, and so successful that I can’t believe all that work was done with one click!
Thanks to Cart2Cart for a fantastic service. Totally recommended!

I had a lot of pre-sales questions about the plugin and the migration. The service provided was absolutely perfect, quick and in-depth responses. My final migration has just finished and it did so in 27 minutes to be precise. If you are looking for the perfect, headache-free tool for your (in my case Magento to Woocommerce) migration, look no further, THIS IS IT! For those who expected such a plugin to be for free, are you kidding me?!?!

I moved a site from Jigoshop Version 2 (the jigoshop upgrade from v1 to v2 was poor) to WooCommerce and I am very happy with the results. My original Jigoshop site had been hacked so it wasn’t ideal, but Cart to Cart were very helpful and their support was very good. 🙂

Excellent Support for the non expert who needs a lot of assistance they spent as much time as I needed to insure I got my migration. The upload went well after the Demo. Customer service was there when I had questions or issues to fine tune after purchase. I would recommend if you need to import / migrate your Products from Shopify to Woocommerce in Word Press as I did.

Company went above and beyond to handle the migration, even doing 2 additional trials to get it right.
The project was involved as it had a large product count, user count, and orders going back 5 years. This involved doing the CMS and Shopping cart migration from Drupal / Ubercart to WordPress / Woocommerce.
I had the new site up the same day as the migration and only had to do some fine tuning, menus setup, and correct some links.
Pleasure to have a second migration done with this company.

Tried to do the data migration myself and failed even after spending so many hours attempting different things. With Cart2Cart the data import from 3dcart to WooCommerce was quick and easy. Support response time was great and replies were really helpful. Definitely worth the cost and it saved me many more headaches

I needed to migrate a lot of product data (title, price, description, images) from an old Mojishop installation on Joomla to a new shop system based on Woocommerce on WordPress. The setup was very easy (you need FTP access on your webspace).
Before you pay for the great service you can make several test migrations. It turned out there were some product information missing on the new system, because my data base had a custom name. I did not find out this by my own.
So I contacted the customer support of Cart2Cart. I got immediately help and two days later a custom solution for my problem.
This is a service! Thanks a lot.
