BigCommerce to Shopify migration services

Product data, customer records, complete order history, categories, and content — blog posts, CMS pages, and reviews — all transfer as standard. We also migrate SEO fields, map every URL to its Shopify equivalent, and implement 301 redirects so rankings and traffic carry across the move.

Not directly, but most have a strong Shopify App Store equivalent — often a better one, given how much larger Shopify's app ecosystem is. We audit your active integrations during discovery and match each to a native Shopify feature, an app, or, where genuinely necessary, custom development.

No — names, emails, addresses, and order history migrate into Shopify's customer records automatically. Passwords reset on first login for security rather than transferring directly, and we set up clear account and password-reset emails so that step doesn't feel like starting from scratch for returning customers.

BigCommerce and Shopify share enough underlying commerce logic that URL and metadata mapping is relatively predictable compared with more custom platforms. We still treat redirects as non-negotiable — every legacy URL gets mapped and 301-redirected, metadata and structured data are replicated, and we run larger catalogues through a dedicated SEO migration workstream.

Yes. BigCommerce's custom fields, product options, and category/subcategory structures map onto Shopify variants and metafields with reasonable accuracy since both platforms handle catalogue logic in broadly similar ways. Complex configurable products with many option combinations get extra validation during QA to confirm nothing drops out of the transfer.

Large product datasets with deep option combinations, preserving customer account history accurately, and untangling integrations that were configured directly against BigCommerce's API rather than through a documented app. We reduce risk by validating data at every stage and confirming integration behaviour in a staging environment before cutover, not after.

Cost is driven by product and customer record volume, the number of custom fields and integrations, and theme complexity. We scope this properly during discovery and provide a clear estimate — get in touch with a rough sense of your catalogue size to start.

Most commonly it's about ecosystem depth and Shopify Plus's checkout extensibility. BigCommerce's built-in feature set is solid, but the Shopify App Store and Theme Store are materially larger, and Shopify Plus opens up checkout customisation, Markets, and B2B tooling that BigCommerce's higher plans still don't fully match at comparable cost.

Close to none for shoppers. We build and QA the Shopify store in parallel with your live BigCommerce site, then switch DNS once data, theme, and redirects are verified. We plan the exact cutover window with you, typically outside peak trading hours, with a short order freeze immediately beforehand to avoid missed orders.

We monitor redirects, indexing, and integration behaviour closely through a stabilisation window after launch. Beyond that, support & maintenance retainers and our development team keep the store moving forward as it settles in.
