    I have a shop on a bespoke platform but i want to be able to do more with it and i cant . When i asked for it i asked for open cart but they did it on the own platform . Does anyone know how easy it will be to migrate to another platform like open cart . And the cost .
    I want to be able to offer credit card processing and i can only do paypal .

    i want more delivery options and other stuff .

    open cart offers this . My platform doesnt .

    Please reply if your heavily experienced in this . PM me for my sites please .
    Im looking really for advice and quotes i have 2 shops . I want the design staying the same just the shopping cart changed .
    I will not choose anyone with NO feedback or Neg Feedback .
    If per chance you can do these changes without me changing the cart i will be interested in that

    You probably have a database of products you want to transfer.

    A freelancer can create a script to import these products into a new system (opencart/magento). Custom code is required for such import and experience with target framework. You can post a project on a freelance site.

    Most "big" carts now have migrations tools to import all of your content and products from almost any other source. I personally recommend Shopify but if you want opensource then I would say go with Magento.
