Move from BigCommerce to Shopify.
We move products, options, custom fields, customers and order history from BigCommerce, rebuild your theme and apps on Shopify, and redirect every URL.
What changes when you leave BigCommerce.
A bigger ecosystem
More apps, themes and partners to choose from as you grow.
Checkout you can extend
Checkout extensions and Shopify Functions let you customise checkout without editing core code.
One admin for every channel
Online store, POS and marketplaces managed from the same admin.
Your data comes with you.
Shopify's own guidance is to import products first, then customers, then historical orders. We follow it and check the result.
Products
Titles, descriptions, images, variants, prices, stock and SEO fields.
Customers
Names, emails, addresses and marketing consent. Passwords can't be moved, so customers sign in again.
Order history
Past orders, imported after products and customers so they link to the right records.
Content
Blog posts, pages, gift cards and store credit where the old platform exports them.
URLs and SEO
A 301 redirect for every old product, category and page URL, plus titles and meta descriptions.
Integrations
ERP, email, reviews and shipping tools reconnected or replaced.
The parts we plan before moving anything.
Options and modifiers
BigCommerce variant options become Shopify variants. Modifiers such as text fields are rebuilt with apps or theme code.
Custom fields
Custom fields move into Shopify metafields so the theme and apps can use them.
Apps
Each BigCommerce app is matched to a Shopify app or custom feature.
URLs
Product, category and page URLs are redirected to their Shopify addresses before launch.
Planned, rehearsed, then switched.
Your old store keeps selling until the moment we switch the domain.
Map everything
Every product type, plugin, integration, URL and legal page on the old store, and what each becomes on Shopify.
Import and check
Products first, then customers, then order history, so records link up. Then a line-by-line check of the data.
Theme and features
Theme, checkout, payments, taxes, shipping and the apps or custom code that replace old plugins.
Redirect and switch
Redirects for every old URL, test orders, domain switch, sitemap submitted, and a watch on traffic after launch.
BigCommerce migration questions.
Will we lose our Google rankings?
Rankings depend on many things, but the biggest avoidable risk is broken URLs. We redirect every old product, category and page URL to its new address before the domain switch, then submit the new sitemap and watch for errors after launch.
Can the old store keep selling during the migration?
Yes. We build and test on Shopify while the old store runs. Orders placed during the build are brought across in a final sync before the switch.
Can customer passwords be moved?
No. Passwords are stored in a form no platform can read or transfer. Customer accounts move over, and customers sign in again on Shopify.
