Kartra to GoHighLevel Migration Guide

If you are moving from Kartra and previously tracked tasks in tools like ClickUp, you can streamline your entire workflow by consolidating funnels, pages, and automations inside GoHighLevel. This guide walks you step by step through recreating your Kartra assets so your marketing and client workflows keep running with minimal disruption.

The process is manual but straightforward: you will clone layouts, copy content, and rebuild logic using GoHighLevel tools. Follow each section carefully and keep both platforms open in separate tabs as you work.

Prepare for Your Kartra to GoHighLevel Migration

Before you start building, gather the following:

  • Full access to your Kartra account
  • Admin access to your GoHighLevel account
  • A list of all funnels, pages, products, forms, tags, and automations you use
  • Exported copies of any critical copy or assets as a backup

Open Kartra in one browser window and GoHighLevel in another. You will constantly reference Kartra while recreating your setup inside the new platform.

Step 1: Rebuild Pages and Funnels in GoHighLevel

The first objective is to replicate the structure and appearance of your Kartra pages and funnels using the GoHighLevel funnel and website builder.

1.1 Create a New Funnel or Website in GoHighLevel

  1. Log into your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Navigate to Sites, then choose Funnels or Websites depending on what you are recreating.
  3. Click New Funnel or New Website.
  4. Name the funnel or site to match your Kartra asset for easy tracking.

1.2 Match the Funnel Steps from Kartra

  1. Open your Kartra funnel and list each step (opt‑in, sales page, checkout, thank you, membership access, etc.).
  2. In GoHighLevel, create a corresponding step for each page:
  • Click Add New Step.
  • Name it to match the Kartra page.
  • Set the type (opt‑in, sales, order, thank you) that best reflects its purpose.

This preserves the overall user journey from Kartra inside GoHighLevel.

1.3 Copy Page Layouts and Design

  1. Open the specific page in Kartra.
  2. In GoHighLevel, open the associated funnel or website step in the page builder.
  3. Recreate the layout by adding sections, rows, and elements to match:
  • Hero sections and headlines
  • Text blocks and image placements
  • Forms or opt‑in elements
  • Buttons and call‑to‑action areas

You can often start with a similar template in GoHighLevel, then adjust spacing, fonts, and colors so the page closely mirrors your Kartra design.

Step 2: Move Copy, Media, and Tracking Code into GoHighLevel

After the structure is in place, move the content and essential tracking elements so performance remains consistent.

2.1 Transfer Text and Headlines

  1. For each Kartra page, copy all important copy elements:
  • Headlines, subheadlines, and body text
  • Benefit bullets and feature lists
  • Guarantee, FAQ, and testimonial text
  1. Paste them into their matching elements inside the GoHighLevel page builder.
  2. Double‑check formatting, bolding, and links to ensure they render correctly.

2.2 Transfer Images and Videos

  1. Download images and media assets from Kartra if they are not already stored locally.
  2. In GoHighLevel, open the Media or Image element and upload your files.
  3. Replace placeholder images with your brand assets on each page.
  4. For videos, copy the embed or share link and paste it into the GoHighLevel video element.

2.3 Add Tracking and Custom Scripts

  1. Locate your tracking codes in Kartra (for example, Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, or other scripts).
  2. In GoHighLevel, go to the funnel or website settings.
  3. Add global or page‑specific header and footer scripts as needed.
  4. Save and publish so tracking starts working immediately on new pages.

Step 3: Recreate Products and Checkouts in GoHighLevel

If you sold products or services inside Kartra, you need to recreate your order setup in GoHighLevel with similar pricing and delivery logic.

3.1 Set Up Products or Offers

  1. Collect details from your Kartra products:
  • Product names and descriptions
  • Pricing, trial periods, and payment plans
  • Upsells, downsells, or order bumps
  1. In GoHighLevel, open the funnel step where the checkout will live.
  2. Add an Order or Checkout element.
  3. Configure each product or offer to match your Kartra settings as closely as possible.

3.2 Configure Payment Integrations

  1. Confirm which payment gateways you used with Kartra (such as Stripe or PayPal).
  2. In GoHighLevel, go to your account Settings and connect the same payment gateways.
  3. Return to your checkout pages and assign the appropriate gateway and pricing.
  4. Run a test transaction to verify payments process correctly.

3.3 Rebuild Upsells and Thank‑You Pages

  1. Review the post‑purchase flow in Kartra (upsell pages, downsells, and thank‑you or confirmation pages).
  2. Create a matching sequence of checkout, upsell, and confirmation steps inside the GoHighLevel funnel.
  3. Update button actions so users are redirected to the next logical step after purchase.

Step 4: Move Tags, Forms, and Lists to GoHighLevel

Contact organization is critical. Migrate your tagging and form structure to keep segmentation as accurate as it was in Kartra.

4.1 Create Matching Tags in GoHighLevel

  1. Export or list out all tags used in Kartra (behavior tags, product tags, interest tags, etc.).
  2. In GoHighLevel, open Contacts then Tags.
  3. Create new tags with the same or similar names to keep your logic easy to follow.

4.2 Rebuild Opt‑In Forms

  1. Identify all active opt‑in and registration forms in Kartra, along with the pages they live on.
  2. In GoHighLevel, create new forms or use form elements in the page builder.
  3. Map each form field (name, email, phone, custom fields) to the appropriate contact fields.
  4. Attach the correct tags to be added when a form is submitted.

4.3 Connect Forms to Funnels and Workflows

  1. On each GoHighLevel funnel or website step, insert the correct form.
  2. Confirm that form submissions trigger:
  • Tag assignment
  • Pipeline movement (if used)
  • Entry into a workflow or campaign

This ensures new leads enter the same nurturing paths you configured in Kartra.

Step 5: Recreate Automations and Campaigns in GoHighLevel

Automations are the backbone of your marketing system. Translate Kartra sequences and logic into GoHighLevel workflows.

5.1 Map Out Existing Kartra Automations

  1. Identify all automations in Kartra such as:
  • Welcome sequences
  • Sales follow‑up campaigns
  • Cart abandonment sequences
  • Tag‑based behavioral automations
  1. Write down the triggers, actions, and time delays for each automation.

5.2 Build Workflows in GoHighLevel

  1. In GoHighLevel, navigate to Automation or Workflows.
  2. Create a new workflow for each key Kartra automation.
  3. Set the trigger to match your original logic, such as:
  • Form submitted
  • Tag added
  • Appointment booked
  • Purchase completed
  1. Add actions in order:
  • Send email or SMS
  • Wait or delay steps
  • Apply or remove tags
  • Update pipeline stages

Continue until each workflow mirrors the timing and messaging in your Kartra campaigns.

5.3 Recreate Email Sequences

  1. Open your Kartra email campaigns and copy the subject lines and content.
  2. In GoHighLevel, create reusable email templates if needed.
  3. Paste the content, adjust formatting, and insert personalization tags.
  4. Attach each email to the correct step inside the workflow with the right delay intervals.

Step 6: Test and Optimize Your GoHighLevel Setup

Before you fully switch off Kartra, test the new configuration thoroughly inside GoHighLevel.

6.1 Run End‑to‑End Funnel Tests

  1. Open your new GoHighLevel funnel in an incognito browser window.
  2. Opt into forms with a test email address.
  3. Walk through the entire funnel, including checkout and upsells.
  4. Confirm emails, tags, and redirects behave as expected.

6.2 Validate Automations and Notifications

  1. Check that new contacts are added correctly inside the GoHighLevel CRM.
  2. Verify that tags, workflows, and pipeline stages are updated at each step.
  3. Review logs or activity feeds to ensure every automation step is firing.

6.3 Monitor After Going Live

  1. Once live, monitor performance for several days.
  2. Track conversions, open rates, and form submissions.
  3. Tweak page design, copy, or workflow timing as necessary to improve results.
