CS Cart to WooCommerce Migration

December 12, 2025

When facing a CS Cart to WooCommerce migration for your store's extensive collection of products and categories, the task can be daunting or seem impossible.  JDAC Computing Solutions offers a painless way to migrate this information for you that does not involve creating hard to work with CSV files that may or may never work fluidly with WooCommerce's built-in product import functionality.

The Trouble with Importing Products to WooCommerce from another Platform

If you’ve ever tried to import any amount of products into WooCommerce from a different eCommerce platform, you know how challenging it can be.  If you’ve never had to do this and want an idea of these challenges, check out this page.

The very first challenge is right there and the very top of that page - Create your CSV.  The CSV format contains 40+ columns of data that have to be set up on separate rows for each of your product.  Sure, your existing eCommerce platform probably has the ability to export all of your products to a CSV file, but even then, that file needs to be ‘massaged’ into the format acceptable to WooCommerce and that in itself is a time-consuming and error prone process.

And - Even when you get the data right, there are still inherent limitations to the WooCommerce import functionality, such as products not being fully linked to multi-level category trees, as one example.

CSCart2WCMigrate

CSCart2WCMigrate is a custom utility developed by JDAC Computing Solutions that can turn the nightmare of your CS Cart to WooCommerce migration into a dream.  This process works directly through the back-end databases in CS Cart and WordPress/WooCommerce to read and directly transfer all of your product information to WooCommerce.  The only things required are a few simple preparation steps.

Requirements

A few minutes of preparation is all that's required for us to migrate your CS Cart Products and Categories to your new WooCommerce installation:

• Remote database access to both the CS Cart and WooCommerce databases are required for us to execute the migration for you.
• FTP access to your hosting solution so we can move your CS Cart product images into a migration location where WooCommerce can find them after the migration
• Installation of a WordPress plug-in such as Regenerate Thumbnails that will regenerate all of the required product images so WooCommerce can use them.

The CS Cart to WooCommerce Migration Process

Once the initial requirements have been met, JDAC Computing Solutions will execute the CS Cart to WooCommerce migration and validate your product and category set up on completion.  The time required to execute the migrate will depend on the number of products involved, but performance data so far shows that product collections of up to 20,000 products generally completes in about an hour, depending on internet traffic conditions.

It's very simple:

• Provide us the access shown in the Requirements section above.
