osCommerce to OpenCart Migration

After the process is completed, run through this osCommerce to OpenCart migration checklist to ensure your new store works seamlessly:

• Double-check your migrated products, orders, and customer records for accuracy.
• Point your domain or DNS settings to your new OpenCart store.
• Run through checkout, payment, and shipping to confirm everything works before you tell customers about the switch.
• Add 301 redirects for your old osCommerce URLs so you don’t lose your SEO standing.
• Use LitExtension’s post-migration support window if you spot anything that needs fixing.

Unfortunately, due to security reasons and the differences in encryption methods, customers’ passwords cannot be transferred from osCommerce to OpenCart. Your customers’ billing and shipping addresses migrate as normal, but customers need to reset their passwords the first time they log in to your new OpenCart store.
 

Yes. LitExtension can migrate your product names and descriptions, along with category names, into multiple languages on OpenCart. You’ll need to install the relevant language pack on OpenCart first; once that’s done, LitExtension will map the corresponding content during the data transfer for you.

No. LitExtension never transfers stored credit card or payment data, in line with standard PCI compliance practices across the industry. Customer billing and shipping addresses migrate normally, but customers need to re-enter their payment details on your new OpenCart store.

Yes. LitExtension supports SEO URL migration and can set up 301 redirects from your old osCommerce URLs to their new OpenCart equivalents. This keeps your product rankings on Google intact and prevents old links from returning a 404 error.

No. Themes and design elements are platform-specific and don’t transfer as part of the data migration, since osCommerce and OpenCart use completely different theme systems. You’ll need to choose or build a new theme after the osCommerce to OpenCart migration.

Standard store data such as products, customers, and orders migrates automatically according to what osCommerce can export and OpenCart can import. Data tied to specific osCommerce plugins or add-ons often needs custom mapping, so LitExtension’s Migration Customization service can review your plugin-dependent data and confirm whether it can be moved to a comparable OpenCart extension.

Yes. LitExtension migrates your product thumbnail images and additional product images, along with category images, so your OpenCart catalog keeps its original visuals after the migration.

LitExtension’s pricing for an osCommerce to OpenCart migration scales with your store size and the level of support you need:

• If you have fewer than 100 products, customers, and orders each, you can migrate from osCommerce to OpenCart for free with our Freemium Migration Package.
• If you’d rather run the transfer yourself, the Automated Migration Tool starts at $59 and scales up based on how many total entities your store holds.
• If you want LitExtension’s team to manage everything end-to-end, the All-In-One Migration Service starts at $169, covering the technical consultation, data mapping, demo run, full transfer, results testing, and up to 60 days of support afterward.

For a price tailored to your store’s actual data volume, please use the Pricing Estimator on the osCommerce to OpenCart migration page or contact LitExtension’s Support Agents.

A few variables shape your final quote:

• How much data you’re moving overall.
• How complex your setup is; custom fields, unusual product attributes, or specific business logic can add extra mapping work.
• Which migration path you pick, the self-service tool or the fully managed expert service, plus any add-ons you choose along the way.

The osCommerce to OpenCart migration timelines usually run from a few hours to a few days, depending on how much data you have and how complex it is. A lean store with a straightforward catalog can often finish the same day, while a larger store with heavily customized products or configurations takes more time to map and check properly.

Yes, at LitExtension, security is built into every transfer. Your data travels over HTTPS with 128-bit SSL encryption, and LitExtension never keeps a copy of your customer data on its own servers, since it moves straight from your osCommerce store to your OpenCart store. LitExtension also follows GDPR requirements and signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement with you before your order goes through.
