OpenCart Upgrade & eCommerce Migration

BizTorq upgrades OpenCart 3 stores to OpenCart 4 and moves stores from Shopify and WooCommerce to OpenCart. Products, customers, orders and SEO URLs come with you, every old URL gets a 301 redirect, and your live store keeps selling until the switch.

OpenCart 3 to 4 Upgrade

OpenCart 4 brings a newer codebase, PHP 8 support and a cleaner admin, but it changed how extensions and themes are built. That is why there is no safe one-click upgrade. We set up a fresh OpenCart 4 store, move your data across, and rebuild your theme and custom modules for version 4.

Extension audit

Every installed extension checked: upgrade, replace or rewrite.

Theme rebuild

Your current design rebuilt for OpenCart 4, or refreshed while we're at it.

PHP 8 hosting

Server checked and updated so the new store runs fast and secure.

Shopify to OpenCart Migration

Businesses move from Shopify to OpenCart to stop paying monthly plan and app fees, to own their code and data, and to get B2B features like customer-group pricing and MOQ without paid apps. We export your products, variants, collections, customers and orders from Shopify and rebuild them in OpenCart. Shopify does not export customer passwords, so customers set a new password on their first login.

WooCommerce to OpenCart Migration

WooCommerce stores often slow down as the catalogue grows and plugins pile up. OpenCart is built only for eCommerce and handles large catalogues and wholesale pricing natively. We move products, attributes, categories, customers, orders and blog content from WooCommerce, and existing customer passwords can often be kept.

What We Move

Products

Names, descriptions, prices, variants, attributes, images, stock and categories.

Customers

Accounts, addresses and customer groups, including wholesale buyers.

Orders

Order history, statuses and the link to each customer.

SEO URLs & meta

Every old URL mapped to its new URL with a 301 redirect; titles and meta descriptions kept.

Content

Information pages, blog posts and policies.

Settings

Taxes, GST, shipping rules, payment gateways and email templates set up again.

Process and Downtime

Your current store keeps taking orders while we build the new one on a staging server. Downtime is limited to the final switch.

  1. Review — we audit your store, extensions, catalogue size and URLs, and give a fixed quote and timeline.
  2. Build on staging — the new OpenCart store, theme and modules are set up away from your live site.
  3. Data migration — products, customers, orders and content moved and checked.
  4. Testing — you test checkout, payments, shipping and admin before launch.
  5. Final sync and switch — new orders since the first copy are moved, then the domain points to the new store and 301 redirects go live.
  6. Post-launch checks — Search Console, broken links and redirects monitored for the first weeks.
FAQ

OpenCart Upgrade & Migration FAQs

Can OpenCart 3 be upgraded to OpenCart 4 directly?+

Not with one click. OpenCart 4 changed the extension and theme structure, so we set up a fresh OpenCart 4 store, move your data into it, and rebuild or replace extensions and the theme for version 4.

Will my OpenCart 3 extensions work on OpenCart 4?+

Most will not work as they are. We check each extension: some have an OpenCart 4 version, some can be replaced, and custom ones are rewritten.

Will I lose my Google rankings after migration?+

Not if URLs are handled properly. We map every old product, category and page URL to its new URL with a 301 redirect and keep titles and meta descriptions, so search engines pass the old rankings to the new pages.

Do customers need to reset their passwords?+

From Shopify, yes — Shopify does not export customer passwords, so customers set a new one on first login. From WooCommerce or OpenCart 3, existing passwords can often be kept.

Is order history migrated?+

Yes. Past orders, order statuses and customer links are moved so customers and your team can still see their history.

How long does a migration take?+

It depends on product count, extensions and design changes. We give you a timeline after reviewing your current store.
