i already wrote to support to ask if possible some batch way or script to import customers data from zen-cart database into via viartshop. I asked the price too, in meantime waiting for their answer, i post here too
Maybe some people already did it or can help me, i will pay for it, hope good price .
Most problem that i don't know how to import customer login & passwords in new viart database.

Posted by me in another thread in response to an issue with encrypted passwords:
Fishpaste,
I have actually had the same problem with an existing cart, and exported the customers into my ViArt database anyhow.
What I did, was notify the customers that the site would be down for some maintenance, and then after going live, I sent out an email notification to ALL users that their passwords would need to be reset due to new store database restructuring.
I had 1 complaint and that was due to an old email address in the system, but they contacted the support team, we verified their identity and updated their email address in the system.
I think the customers will be happier with the new structure of your cart system, and if it only requires them to reset their password... I think it's a great move.
ALSO... remember that ViArt uses their own encryption key, so it's not exportable either, unless you turn MD5 off (which I don't recommend as you lose security.)
