BigCommerce to Shopify
migration, done right.

Order-volume pricing tiers, a thinner theme and app ecosystem, and checkout limits push growing BigCommerce stores toward Shopify. We move everything — products, customers, orders, SEO — with zero downtime and a fixed price.

included

Everything moves. Nothing breaks.

A migration is only complete when every piece of your business data lands on Shopify working exactly as it did — or better. Every BigCommerce project includes:

  • Full catalog migration

    Products, variants, images, categories-to-collections mapping, and metafields — verified against the source count.

  • Customers & order history

    Complete customer records and order history so lifetime value, repeat-purchase data, and support lookups survive the move.

  • Complete 301 redirect map

    Every indexed URL crawled and mapped to its new Shopify address, so Google — and your customers' bookmarks — never hit a dead end.

  • Category & option-set mapping

    BigCommerce categories become Shopify collections and complex option sets become variants or line-item properties — mapped explicitly during the audit, not guessed.

  • App-for-app replacement plan

    Every BigCommerce app matched to its Shopify equivalent before we start, with monthly cost comparison so you know your new stack's real price.

  • 30-day post-launch monitoring

    We watch Search Console, rankings, and site errors for a month after cutover and fix anything the move shakes loose.

timeline

A typical migration: 2–3 weeks.

Your BigCommerce store keeps selling through all of it. Downtime at cutover: zero.

  1. W1

    Audit, export & redirect mapping

    We crawl your BigCommerce store, export the full catalog and customer base, map every URL to its future Shopify address, and deliver the fixed-price quote. You approve before anything else happens.

  2. W2

    Build & import in parallel

    Theme build, data import, app replacement, and payment/shipping configuration — all on a password-protected Shopify store while BigCommerce keeps taking orders.

  3. W3

    QA, delta sync & zero-downtime cutover

    Full QA against the source store, a final sync of orders placed during the build, 301 redirects activated, DNS switched, sitemap submitted to Google — and then 30 days of monitoring.

faq

BigCommerce migration questions, answered.

What data is migrated from BigCommerce to Shopify?

Products with variants, option sets, and custom fields; customers and customer groups; full order history; coupon codes; blog content; and every indexed URL mapped to a 301 redirect. Complex BigCommerce option sets are restructured into Shopify variants or line-item properties during the audit.

Will my store go offline during the migration?

No. Your BigCommerce store keeps selling while we build the Shopify store in parallel. At cutover we run a delta sync of new orders and customers, activate redirects, and switch DNS — downtime is zero.

Is Shopify cheaper than BigCommerce?

It depends on your stack, but BigCommerce's plan tiers are based on annual order volume, so costs jump as you grow. Shopify's plans don't scale with order count, and our plugin-for-app mapping shows your exact monthly cost on Shopify before you commit.

How long does a BigCommerce to Shopify migration take?

Typically 2–3 weeks: week one for the audit, export, and redirect mapping; week two for the theme build and data import; week three for QA, delta sync, and the zero-downtime cutover, followed by 30 days of SEO monitoring.
