Shopify → OpenCart Migration Questions
Does OpenCart support native CSV import?
OpenCart core doesn't have native CSV product import. You'll need an extension like "Import/Export Pro" or "Advanced Order Export" to import the CSV.
Does migration affect my Shopify store?
No. The migration process exports data without affecting your current store. You can continue selling normally while migration happens.
Can I test the migration before going live?
Yes. Most migration services offer demo migrations where you can transfer up to 10 products and customers to test the process first.
Why Use Shopify → OpenCart Migration?
Weight Conversion
Converts Shopify grams to OpenCart kilograms (÷ 1000).
SKU Preservation
Maps Variant SKU to OpenCart model field maintaining product codes.
Category Mapping
Transforms Shopify Type field into OpenCart categories format.
Image URL Handling
Preserves image URLs from Shopify for OpenCart import.
Status Conversion
Converts Shopify Published boolean to OpenCart status format.
How People Use Shopify → OpenCart
I left Shopify for OpenCart to eliminate monthly platform fees. My biggest worry was losing 480 products with accurate weights — Shopify stores grams, OpenCart uses kilograms. A 500g item importing as 500kg would destroy my shipping rates. The converter divided everything by 1,000 and mapped Variant SKU to OpenCart's model field. Imported on the first try.
Clients coming from Shopify always underestimate the field mapping gap. Shopify calls it Title, OpenCart calls it name. Shopify says Variant Price, OpenCart says price. I used to remap these columns by hand in a spreadsheet. Now I run the export through the converter and hand clients an OpenCart-ready CSV with correct column headers and weight units.
My client needed self-hosted control that Shopify couldn't offer and chose OpenCart. Their catalog had 1,200 products with Shopify's tag-based organization that needed to become OpenCart categories. The converter mapped the Type field to categories and preserved all image URLs. We set up the category tree in OpenCart first, then the import slotted products into the right places.
Why Shopify Products Don't Import Directly to OpenCart
Field Name Differences
Shopify uses "Title", "Variant Price", "Variant Grams", "Variant SKU".
OpenCart uses "name", "price", "weight", "model".
Without field mapping, OpenCart import fails or creates incomplete products.
Weight Unit Conversion
Shopify exports weight in grams (integer).
OpenCart uses kilograms (decimal) by default.
Direct import creates shipping calculation errors (1000x weight factor).
Variant Structure Differences
Shopify exports multiple rows per product (one per variant).
OpenCart imports each row as a separate product.
Without proper handling, variants become duplicate products instead of options.
What This Tool Does
We transform your Shopify export:
- Fields: Shopify columns → OpenCart field names
- Weights: Grams → kilograms (÷ 1000)
- SKUs: Variant SKU → model field
- Categories: Type field → categories
- Status: Published TRUE/FALSE → status true/false
- Images: Full URLs preserved
OpenCart import succeeds with properly formatted data.
