I have a x-cart store and I think it has finally come to the time I need to migrate away from xcart. So can I :-

1. Import customers and their data
2. Import Order history (I dont think I can but open to suggestions)
3. Import all product options
4. Import xcart Global product options

What are peoples thoughts - should I install into the same shop directory and try and keep the existing urls in place ? - lots of these existing url's are indexed and rank on Google page #1 - so I need to keep this in place if at all possible.

What are you thoughts and has anybody done the above scenario - I'd love to know your experience and warnings - thanks in advance

Hello!
My name is Anastasia, Ecwid Support. Thank you for contacting us! I will be glad to help you.

You can transfer the product catalog and customers from your existing store to Ecwid with the help of the Ecwid Import tool. We prepared a detailed instruction on how to migrate your store to Ecwid, please have a look: https://support.ecwid.com/hc/en-us/a...store-to-Ecwid

If you need to transfer the products with options, you can use a special X-cart format. Please refer to this article for more details: https://support.ecwid.com/hc/en-us/a...rmat-and-Ecwid

As for the indexed pages, it may be possible to create a redirect from the existing X-cart store product pages to the corresponding Ecwid product pages. So the already indexed pages will redirect the visitors to your new store. You can contact X-cart Support to check how it can be accomplished.

I hope this will be helpful for you.
Please, let us know if you have any further questions.

I have a question re this -

What about exporting the users details / order history from xcart to ecwid ?

Hi Judy,

This is Andrew from Ecwid Team. Thank you for your question.

Yes, it is possible to import customers via CSV file please read more: Importing customers – Ecwid Help Center

As for the order I am afraid it is not possible as Ecwid and X-cart are different shopping carts and the order placed in X-cart store will remain in X-cart store.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
