How to Migrate from VirtueMart to OpenCart?
Manually migrating from VirtueMart to OpenCart requires multiple steps and tends to be more time-consuming compared to using an automated migration tool. The following is a step-by-step guide for manually transferring your data from VirtueMart to OpenCart:
Step 1: Preparation
- Backup Your VirtueMart Store: Create a full backup of the VirtueMart database and all related files. This ensures you can restore the store if needed.
- Set Up a New OpenCart Store: Install the latest version of OpenCart on your server. This will be the destination where you migrate your data.
Step 2: Export Data from VirtueMart (Products, Categories, Customers, and Orders)
- Use a tool like phpMyAdmin to export the VirtueMart database as a .sql file. Alternatively, you can export individual tables related to products, categories, customers, and orders.
- Save the exported data in CSV format or another format that can be easily manipulated and imported into OpenCart.
Step 3: Prepare Data for OpenCart
- Review the exported CSV files and adjust them to match the OpenCart database structure. The field names and data types in VirtueMart may differ from those in OpenCart, so it’s important to map each field correctly.
- Convert Images and File Paths: Make sure to move product images to the appropriate directory in the OpenCart installation. Update the image paths in the CSV file to reflect their new location.
Step 4: Import Data into OpenCart
- Use a tool like phpMyAdmin to import the prepared CSV files into the OpenCart database. You can do this by writing SQL queries to insert the data into the appropriate OpenCart tables (oc_product, oc_category, oc_customer, etc.).
- Alternatively, you can use OpenCart extensions like “CSV Import/Export” to help import the data. This can simplify the process if you’re unfamiliar with SQL.
After importing the data, verify that all records appear correctly in the OpenCart admin panel. Check products, categories, customers, and orders to ensure there are no missing fields or data mismatches.
Step 5: Post-Migration Tasks
- Set Up a Theme and Extensions: Choose a theme that suits your new OpenCart store and install any necessary extensions to replicate VirtueMart functionalities.
- Configure Store Settings: Update OpenCart settings, such as payment gateways, shipping methods, and tax rates, to match the settings from your VirtueMart store.
- Perform Testing: Thoroughly test the new store to ensure everything functions as expected, including product display, checkout process, and customer accounts.

I chose the All-in-1 Migration. Moved from Virtuemart to OpenCart, about 5000 products and 4000 orders etc. They migrated all data the way I wanted it (filling information on different productfields). I’m sure I gave Ashley a hard time, but she never let me know this and did what I asked her to. It saved me months of manually filling all the data myself.
