- Install Connector for open-source carts.

Detailed instructions will appear on the right side of your screen at each step to guide you through the process.
Setup Target Cart
In Target Cart Setup section, select OpenCart as your Target Cart Type from the drop-down menu and enter your Target Cart URL. Follow the same process in the Source Cart Setup section to connect LitExtension to your OpenCart store using a Connector, API, or CSV file.
Step 2: Configure WooCommerce to OpenCart Migration
After setting up the Source and Target Carts, the next step in the WooCommerce to OpenCart migration is to configure the data you want to transfer (entities selection). You can also enable additional options to enhance performance and SEO for your OpenCart store.
Entities Selection
In Entities To Migrate section, select the entities you want to migrate, or click Select All to transfer everything. The available entities vary by shopping cart, but Customers, Products, and Orders are always included.
This step is crucial, choose carefully to maintain data integrity on your OpenCart store. For data you want to migrate that is not listed here, please contact LitExtension experts so we can assist and advise on alternative solutions.
Additional Options
After selecting your data, configure the Additional Options section. These vary by Hosted (like Shopify) or Open-source (like WooCommerce) carts, but common choices include:
- Clear target cart data before migration.
- Preserve IDs for products, customers, and orders.
- Create 301 Redirects from source to target cart.
If you need help, you can always reach out to LitExtension experts.
Step 3: Perform WooCommerce to OpenCart Migration
After selecting your data and configuring additional options, continue with the Full Migration. Simply tick Skip Demo Migration and click Start Full Migration to begin.
The migration process may take a few minutes or longer depending on the number of entities being transferred. Since LitExtension runs on a cloud-based system, you don’t need to keep your browser or internet connection active during the migration.
Before starting, you’ll be asked to complete the payment. LitExtension supports multiple payment methods, including PayPal, Skrill, Western Union, Bank Transfer, and Cryptocurrencies. For detailed instructions, you can refer to the Payment Guide. Don’t forget to apply a coupon code if you have one to reduce the cost.
Once the WooCommerce to OpenCart migration is complete, check your OpenCart store carefully. Some data may require adjustment due to cart-specific configurations, so verifying the results helps ensure everything is displayed properly.

Once the system displays the “Full Migration Is Completed” screen, immediately review your results. Verifying data integrity ensures that all information has transferred correctly to your new OpenCart store.
Checking Product Visibility. Most products will appear automatically on your storefront. However, out-of-stock products are hidden by default. To verify these items, locate them via the catalog or use the onsite search function.
Review Product Details. Inspect the following data points for accuracy:
- Product descriptions.
- Images.
- Variants.
- Meta descriptions.
After validating the storefront, log in to the OpenCart admin panel. Browse the back-end to confirm that all customer data and historical orders are accurate and complete.
