Why merchants leave OpenCart ## A store, not module maintenance OpenCart has no license fee, but hosting, security and modules are your job. In CloudCart the store is ready to sell, and maintenance is ours. - No maintenance modules - No hosting to worry about - SSL certificate automatically - Bulgarian couriers and payments built in ## Three paths, the same result You choose by your timeline, team and catalog. There is no third party between you and us. ### We migrate the store for you People from CloudCart, not an outside agency. We move the products, customers, articles and content, keep the order history, and set up a 301 redirect from every old URL. You keep selling. - €0 with a 24-month contract, until Dec 31, 2026 - Up to 45 days, however heavy the migration - A contact person and a plan with dates - The old store sells the whole time How to request it: in the new store's admin, Services → Migration.

You get a contact person and a plan with dates. ### Migrate on your own, with the ready-made apps CSV or XML import moves the products, while customers and redirects from old URLs are uploaded from separate CSV files. The columns in your file are matched to the fields in CloudCart. - Products with variants and images - Categories and customers - 301 redirects from CSV A good fit if you know your catalog well. Some of the imports are part of the higher plans. Migration · import appsin the admin- CSV import Products, variants and categories from a CSV file. The columns are matched to the fields in CloudCart. Open in the admin → - XML import Products from an XML file, one-time or with automatic updates. Open in the admin → - Customers from CSV Customer name, email and group. Open in the admin → The links lead to the admin sign-in, and each app is in Apps under its own name. The import is one-time, and the old store is not changed. ### Programmatically, through the Admin API The Admin API is for teams that want to migrate programmatically and verify every record: products, images, categories, customers with addresses, articles and redirects. The result is the same store, only the path is technical. - Up to 10,000 products at a time - Customers with addresses - Redirects through the API Migration · Admin API · /api/gqlexamplemutation { p1: createProduct(input: { name: "Leather wallet" }) { id } r1: createRedirect(input: { old_url: "/p/4821.html", location: "product", item_id: 1001 }) { id } }Response200 OK · 50 of 50 records# check: every old URL answers with 301 Example from /migration on the site. ## What moves: the catalog, customers and your positions in Google and AI search We take the data through the export or API, nothing by hand.

Every old URL leads to the new one, and Google sees the same pages in a new place. What stays ## Your customers won't notice the change - The old store sells until the switch The new one is built and tested on the side, without customers knowing. - Every old URL redirects to the new one (301) For search engines the page has moved, not disappeared. - Ad parameters pass through the redirect gclid, fbclid and the main UTM tags reach the new URL, and clicks from Google and Meta keep being tracked. - The domain stays yours It is pointed to the new store, and the certificate is issued and renewed on its own. - Email doesn't stop Email stays with your current provider: the records for it (MX) are added in the domain settings. 13,418URLs with a 301 redirect in a single URL switch30minutes for them to go through0errors A real example: product URLs in a live store were changed through the CloudCart Admin API, and every old URL leads to the new one. ## Don't fall into these traps The six things that make merchants leave OpenCart.

This page](https://cloudcart.com/en/offer/online-store-migration) Questions ## Questions about migrating from OpenCart 01 / 14 ### How do I migrate an online store from OpenCart to CloudCart? Two ways: our team moves everything from OpenCart within 45 days, with no pause in sales, or you migrate on your own with the apps in the admin. Old URLs get a 301 redirect, and your Google rankings are kept. 02 / 14 ### What happens to the modules I use? We go through your module list together and tell you what the platform covers. If something is missing, we build it. 03 / 14 ### Can I migrate the store myself? Yes, with the imports in the admin: products from CSV or XML, and customers and redirects from old URLs from separate CSV files. The columns in your file are matched to the fields in CloudCart. Some of the imports are part of the higher plans. 04 / 14 ### What happens to my Google rankings? They are kept. We move the URL structure, titles and descriptions, and set up a 301 redirect from every old URL. 05 / 14 ### What happens to customers and their accounts? We move their profiles: name, email and group. Passwords are not moved: customers set a new one the first time they sign in. 06 / 14 ### What happens to orders and accounting? We move the order history and keep it separately with us: it is available when you need it for reference or accounting. New orders and invoices start in CloudCart, and we connect your accounting software. 07 / 14 ### What happens to payments and couriers? We set them up before launch: Bulgarian couriers such as Econt and Speedy (DPD Bulgaria), cash on delivery, cards and bank transfers. 08 / 14 ### Do sales stop during the migration? No. The new store is built at a CloudCart address while the old one keeps selling. When everything is tested, the domain is pointed to the new store at a time you choose. 09 / 14 ### What happens to the domain and email? The domain stays yours and stays the same. It is pointed to the new store, and the SSL certificate is issued automatically. Email stays with your current provider: the records for it (MX) are added in the domain settings, and email does not stop. 10 / 14 ### How long does it take and how much does it cost? Up to 45 days, however complex the migration, and the old store keeps selling in the meantime. Migration by our team is €0 with a 24-month contract, until Dec 31, 2026. 11 / 14 ### Is it only migrated through CSV or XML? No. Besides CSV and XML (one-time or with automatic sync) there are ready-made importers for WooCommerce, Shopify and Magento, and the Admin API for programmatic migration. Our team also migrates through the old platform's API, and when there is no export, takes the data directly from the old site. Customers, blog articles and 301 redirects are also uploaded from separate CSV files. 12 / 14 ### Are the old URLs of images and files moved? Images are uploaded with the products and get new URLs with us. Redirects apply to the store's pages: products, categories, articles. 13 / 14 ### What happens to my visibility in ChatGPT and AI search? More and more people ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google AI where to buy. We prepare the store with llms.txt and structured data. 14 / 14 ### Who helps me after launch? A Bulgarian team answers by phone and email, and your contact person stays the same after the migration. ## From OpenCart to CloudCart, without risk Create the store for €1 per month for the first 3 months.
