This service moves an OpenCart store to Cmsmart Ecommerce, built on WooCommerce. We migrate products, categories, customers, orders and pages, build a redirect file for your URLs, replace extensions with plugins or Cmsmart modules and rebuild the theme. Cmsmart has supported OpenCart stores since 2012. The assessment lists what moves.
Why merchants move
Why merchants leave OpenCart
The factors we hear most, stated fairly. Where a source link is shown, it is the platform's own page, read on 6 October 2026.
Self-hosted means self-maintained
OpenCart is open source and self-hosted, so hosting, upgrades and security are your responsibility.
Features come from extensions
The extension store carries free and paid extensions from many authors, each with its own update path.
WooCommerce runs on WordPress, so blog, landing pages and store share one admin.
Personalisation and B2B
Product designer, price calculator, print-ready files and B2B ordering come as one family on Cmsmart Ecommerce.
What moves
What we move, and how
You approve the redirect CSV before launch, so every old address has a destination.
Data
What we do
Products and variants
Titles, descriptions, SKUs, variants, attributes, prices, stock and images.
Categories and attributes
Category tree and product attributes, mapped to WooCommerce.
Customers
Accounts and addresses. Password handling depends on your OpenCart version and how it hashes them. We check this in the assessment, and plan a reset email for customers where the hashes cannot be carried over.
Orders
Order history with status and totals, as read-only history. Payments are never charged again.
Reviews
Product reviews where the platform lets us export them.
Pages and blog
Content pages and blog posts. Layouts are rebuilt, not copied.
SEO URLs
A redirect map from every old URL to the new one, delivered as a CSV you approve before launch.
Titles and descriptions
Meta titles and descriptions carried over so search listings keep their wording.
What gets rebuilt
What is rebuilt on Cmsmart Ecommerce
Some things cannot be copied, so they are rebuilt and tested.
The storefront theme, designed on a Cmsmart Store preset or built to your brand.
Apps and extensions, replaced by Cmsmart modules (product designer, price calculator, file upload, artwork approval, B2B) or a matching WooCommerce plugin.
Integrations: payments, shipping, tax, email, ERP and CRM, rebuilt and tested against your real list.
Custom logic, such as special pricing or order rules, built as scoped custom development.
After you move
What you gain on Cmsmart Ecommerce
Built on WooCommerce, so you own your store. Cmsmart adds the parts a personalised or printed product business needs, and runs them for you if you want.
We cannot promise rankings or traffic. We build a redirect map from every old URL to its new one, carry over titles and descriptions, submit an XML sitemap and watch crawl errors for 30 days after launch.
Can customer passwords be migrated?
Password handling depends on your OpenCart version and how it hashes them. We check this in the assessment, and plan a reset email for customers where the hashes cannot be carried over.
How long does the migration take?
The timeline is set in the free assessment. It depends on catalogue size, order history and integrations, so we do not quote a standard duration.
Will my store go offline?
Your current store keeps selling while we build and test on a staging store. Only the final cut-over, a data sync and a DNS switch, needs a short planned window.
Can my current apps be replaced?
OpenCart extensions are mapped one by one to a Cmsmart module or a WooCommerce plugin. The assessment lists each one, and anything with no equivalent is quoted as custom development.
What does it cost?
Migration is quoted per project after the free assessment, because it depends on your data, apps and integrations. We do not publish prices.
Can you migrate orders and reviews?
Orders move as read-only history with status and totals, and payments are never charged again. Reviews move when the platform lets us export them.
Do I need to know WooCommerce?
No. We set up the store, train your team on daily tasks and can host and maintain it for you.

“★★★★★★★★★★
NBDesigner is a very robust plugin for printing shops. It may take a bit of time to learn, as I am, but the support team is there to help. I've been in printing 30 years and I am impressed with how the developers have thought this plugin through. It has everything.
Great software and excellent support!
NBDesigner is a fantastic tool – very intuitive and easy to use. It makes the customization process smooth and efficient. The support team is also incredibly helpful, responsive, and professional. I use it on my website, and it works perfectly. Highly recommended!
