# How to Move from Studiocart to PublishPress Cart

The plugin Studiocart closed in 2026.

The good news is that the PublishPress team is providing a path forward for Studiocart users.

[PublishPress Cart](https://publishpress.com/links/cart) is a new plugin. It’s an improved and redesigned version of the Studiocart plugin.

For existing Studiocart users, there is a migration path to [PublishPress Cart](https://publishpress.com/links/cart). Moving to PublishPress Cart means that your site will be supported by a highly skilled development team with multiple developers who actively maintain and improve their products.

Here is a guide to migrating your site from Studiocart to PublishPress Cart.

- Log in to your website that has the Studiocart plugin.
- Install the PublishPress Cart plugin.
- [Click here to download the PublishPress Cart migration plugin](https://app.box.com/s/2u7osk5mi9jse658zt95rfoshqkttr41).
- Install the PublishPress Cart migration plugin. You will now see this message: "PublishPress Cart needs a data migration".
- Click "Open data migration".

On the next screen there will be two choices:

1. **StudioCart Compatibility Mode**: Enable this if you are using Studiocart integrations that are not part of the main plugin.
2. **Migration backups**: Enable this to keep your Studiocart database tables on the site after the migration. This is a backup feature and only required if you decide to move back to Studiocart.

Now you can start the migration process:

- Scroll down to the "Data migration" and click "Continue migration".

This will complete the migration and you'll see the message "Migration Finished". Welcome to PublishPress Cart!
