FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does WarpForge protect my data compared to Cart2Cart?
Cart2Cart copies your entire store data to their own servers before forwarding it to Shopify. WarpForge connects directly to both APIs — your data never touches a third-party server. This is an architectural guarantee, not just a policy.
Is WarpForge actually cheaper than Cart2Cart?
Yes. Cart2Cart charges per product, per customer, and per order. A 5,000-product migration can exceed €1,500. WarpForge charges a flat fee starting at €299 — no per-entity billing, no surprises.
Does Cart2Cart handle PrestaShop combinations and variants properly?
Cart2Cart is a generic tool supporting 80+ platforms. It doesn't understand PrestaShop-specific structures like combinations, nested categories, or custom attributes. WarpForge is purpose-built for PrestaShop → Shopify and maps everything correctly.
Can I track my migration in real-time with Cart2Cart?
Cart2Cart shows a basic progress bar. WarpForge provides a full real-time dashboard with per-entity progress, detailed logs, error tracking, and the ability to pause, resume, or retry at any point.
What if something goes wrong during the migration?
WarpForge uses idempotent operations — if something fails, it resumes exactly where it left off without duplicating data. Cart2Cart may require a full restart, potentially creating duplicates.
Your data deserves better than a third-party server.
Direct API-to-API migration. Zero intermediary.
