Migration from ZenCart to osCommerce

Hey guys. Recently I have decided to make the switch from ZenCart to osCommerce for functionality reasons. I was wondering if there was an easy/basic way of importing my ZenCart database in to my osCommerce database. Basically, I have added over 100+ products into my ZenCart installation and I would hate to manually have to add all of the products over again in my osCommerce installation. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

If you could download your Zen File database products info into a CSV or text file, then you could use this contribution to edit it and then upload it to OSCommerce:

There is literally no support on how to use this add on. Even the installaltion text file has virtually no support: "Just copy and replace /admin/easypopulate.php". I would appreciate it if you could point me to instructions or directions on how to use this add on.

Search google for cart2cart

 

I haven't been able to test this, because you have to pay for the service. I appreciate the contribution, but I need something that is either open source or a work around.

Make sure you are downloading a full package when installing add-ons. I had a look, and the last upload there said "NOT FULL PACKAGE". The instructions for easypopulate are there, many of us make good use of that script.

Oh, I see thank you for pointing this out. Okay I found the latest full package, I will post how the add on installation/cart migration goes.

I put this project down for quite some time, and now I am recently coming back to this. I got everything installed and configured just fine with the Easy Populate module, however I ran into one problem that will stop me from migrating Zen Cart to osCommerce. Easy Populate works by using CSV files, which is not a problem if you know how to edit and modify them. However, the CSV that my Zen cart database generates does not have any products names, instead it identifies products by using product IDs. This is problematic when using the Easy Populate module, because the CSV you edit and upload (generated from the Easy Populate module) identifies products by actually product names, spelled out in their entirety. Does anyone have another open source module that would work?
