OpenCart to WooCommerce Migration
OpenCart is an open-source eCommerce platform mostly for small businesses. The platform supports a multi-store setup, with shop owners being able to manage all their stores from a single dashboard. It’s a highly customizable solution with more than 1,300 modules and themes that store owners can use to personalize their stores.
However, there are some valid reasons why OpenCart users may want to migrate to WooCommerce. A big disadvantage of OpenCart is its lackluster SEO capabilities. OpenCart stores don’t rank high in Google searches and shop owners have to find another way to deal with this crucial issue.
Another common complaint is the many updates and the fact that these updates invariably introduce bugs that take time to resolve. The fact that OpenCart customer support is not exactly stellar, adds to user frustration in this regard.
Set up OpenCart to WooCommerce data transfer by first configuring the Source cart and then specifying the Target cart.
Set up the Source cart
Choose OpenCart from the drop-down menu and paste your current store’s URL. Provide the Client ID, API Path and API Token from the admin account (find a detailed guide on how to do that in our FAQ).
Specify the Target cart
Choose WooCommerce from the drop-down list and click the “Install Plugin” button and provide your store’s URL.
Select data for migration
You can choose transfer data separately or you can select to transfer everything by clicking the “Select All” box. You can transfer orders, customers, products and product categories, customers, manufacturers, orders, coupons, reviews, and CMS pages.
Specify migration extras
Cart2Cart offers many migration extras, including 301 redirects or preservation of product, customer and order IDs on the Target Store and more.
Map customer groups & order statuses
Match your OpenCart order statuses and fulfillment statuses to the corresponding ones on WooCommerce.
Launch a free Demo migration
For this, first transfer 10 products in 15 minutes so you can check that the transfer works as planned. With this step you can transfer a limited amount of data so you can see how everything looks and works on the new platform.
Start Full migration
Click the Start Full Migration button to start the Full OpenCart database transfer to your new WooCommerce store. When it’s completed, check the migration results and if you are satisfied, continue your business on your new platform.
Post-Migration Recommendations
- Confirm that the website migration went without a hitch and that the new store functions correctly. Test the shopping process by creating a test product and placing an order. Select shipping and payment options and check that everything works perfectly.
- To customize your WooCommerce store, you need the free WooCommerce customizer plugin activized.
- When you’ve done that, notify your customers that your store now is at a different place on the internet and invite them to activate their accounts.
Congratulations! You have successfully transferred your store to WooCommerce. Enjoy the new experience!

I have been using this service a handful of times over the years migrating prestashop and opencart shops to woocommerce and it runs without failure every time. It is relatively simple to install. Upload a “bridge” folder on source cart and target cart and you are more or less ready to start migrating. Has excellent 24 hour support ready to answer your questions. Be aware that it does not support ENV variables being used for database credentials

I used Cart2Cart for my agency as I was performing a mass migration from OpenCart to WooCommerce for a client. It wasn’t cost effective for us to write scripts to perform the migration so we chose Cart2Cart and it worked out very well.

I just successfully migrated a Open Cart eCommerce website to a Word Press/WooCommerce website! Thanks Cart2Cart!

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?!?!
