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.

- 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 CS-Cart to Shopify 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.
Once the CS-Cart to Shopify migration is complete, check your Shopify store carefully. Some data may require adjustment due to cart-specific configurations, so verifying the results helps ensure everything is displayed properly.

What is CS-Cart to Shopify Migration?
Migrating your ecommerce operations from CS-Cart to Shopify requires transferring all your vital business data, including customer information, product catalogs, order details, and other pertinent elements. This CS-Cart to Shopify migration can be done manually or by leveraging a service like LitExtension for a smoother and more efficient process.
How long does it take to migrate from CS-Cart to Shopify?
Migrating from CS-Cart to Shopify doesn’t have a fixed timeline. The duration depends on factors such as the amount of data being transferred (products, customers, orders), any customizations needed for your Shopify store, and the complexity of your CS-Cart setup.
Do I need to rebuild my entire store after migrating?
While product and customer data can be transferred, you may need to rebuild certain features, like your store’s design, navigation, and integrations, to fully align with Shopify’s platform.
What should I do if I encounter issues after migrating from CS-Cart to Shopify?
At LitExtension, we ensure a hassle-free migration experience backed by 24/7 support. Our 60-day free update policy covers Re-migrations, Recent Migrations, and Smart Updates. Plus, if you’re not satisfied within 30 days, we offer a refund per our policy.
Where can I find detailed instructions on migrating from CS-Cart to Shopify?
Migrating from CS-Cart to Shopify is easy with our Shopping Cart Migration Guide. It walks you through the process with clear instructions, video tutorials, and complete documentation. If you need extra help, our 24/7 support team is always available.
How is my data secured during the migration from CS-Cart to Shopify?
We treat your data protection as mission-critical throughout the migration journey. Our Linode servers in the USA, Europe, Australia, and Singapore employ HTTPS and 128-bit SSL encryption, with a strict no-storage policy. Source code for custom migrations is restricted to authorized LitExtension personnel only. We adhere to all GDPR requirements, and our binding NDA guarantees your credentials and migration records are permanently deleted after completion.
Does LitExtension offer a Free Migration service?
Yes! If your CS-Cart store has fewer than 100 products, 100 customers, and 100 orders, you can migrate to Shopify completely free of charge. The Free Migration includes essential data, unlimited demo migrations, and one full migration.
Can I migrate custom themes from CS-Cart to Shopify?
Custom themes cannot be directly migrated. You’ll need to either find a Shopify theme that resembles your CS-Cart theme or hire a developer to recreate the design on Shopify.
Why my product variants were not migrated from CS-Cart to Shopify?
If you’re transferring your CS-Cart products to Shopify, remember that Shopify limits each product to a maximum of 99 variants and 3 options. If your CS-Cart products have more variations than this, they won’t be fully transferred, and some variants may be missing on your Shopify store. You might need to adjust your product structure to fit within these limitations.
Will I lose my product reviews during migration?
Product reviews can be migrated, but it may depend on the specific migration tool or service you use. Some tools support migrating reviews, while others may require manual transfer or use of a separate app.
How is new data handled if it’s added to my CS-Cart store while migration is in progress?
If your store receives new orders, products, or customers after migration starts, you can use our Recent Data Migration service. This service remains available for 60 days from the start of your full migration with Automated Migration or 30 days after completion with All-in-One Migration. After this period, you can extend it with our Premium Support Service or reach out to us for further assistance.
Is it possible to transfer customer credit card information from CS-Cart to Shopify?
Credit card information cannot be migrated for security reasons, but LitExtension ensures that other customer details are transferred. You can review the full list of transferable data in What Data Can Be Migrated From CS-Cart to Shopify.

If your CS-Cart store exceeds 100 products, customers, or orders, you can still use our automated migration service at a very affordable rate. You’ll only pay for the additional entities beyond the free limit, and you’ll still benefit from the same accuracy, security, and support.
