How to Migrate from Magento to Volusion [Video]

Nowadays Magento is one of the leaders in the e-Commerce world. Main reasons that led Magento to such a success are flexibility, wide range of features, numerous payment and shipment options. However, it is rather difficult to manage Magento store without high or medium programming skills, as it is an open source. Moreover, during the upgrade process or mass import users can face technical errors. Thats why a lot of merchants decide to move their stores to a hosted platform, which is easier in administration.

One of the bright representatives of hosted shopping carts

is Volusion. Main advantages of this e-Commerce solution are high

level of security, official support, advanced marketing and SEO tools. These are main reasons why

store owners decide to migrate from Magento to Volusion. The easiest way of data transferring is

Cart2Cart. It is fully automated, so technical skills aren’t required. Video tutorial and step by step

instruction will help you understand how everything works and perform successful migration.

#1. Rgister an Account

Sign in via your Facebook or Google account or create a Cart2Cart account.

#2. Choose Source Cart

On this step, you have to select Magento from a drop-down menu. Then enter your current shop’s

URL. After that, you have to perform Connection Bridge installation. To do that you have to

download bridge, unpack it and paste to the root directory. For better convenience, watch our video

#3. Choose Target Cart

Choose Volusion as your Target Cart from the drop-down menu. After that, you have to enter store’s

URL.

Volusion store. More detailed information you can read here.

import Products. After that upload the saved file in "File Name" field. Put a tick near one of three

options in “Overwrite Existing Data?” field that best suits your needs. Press Import button.
