BigCommerce to Shopify Migration
We move your store from BigCommerce to Shopify, taking care of full migration of key data such as products, customers and order histories. Our service enables you to securely deploy and integrate additional applications, increasing sales efficiency.
Shopify vs BigCommerce
In the juxtaposition of Shopify and BigCommerce, Shopify points to ease of use and lower implementation costs, while BigCommerce offers expanded capabilities, but at the cost of greater management complexity. Shopify is an off-the-shelf SaaS solution, while BigCommerce, while functional, requires more complex configuration.
Ease of implementation - Shopify allows you to get your store up and running quickly, BigCommerce requires more complex setup
Maintenance costs - in Shopify the fee includes hosting and support, BigCommerce may require additional management expenses
Interface - Shopify offers an intuitive, user-friendly panel, BigCommerce has a more elaborate but complex interface
Updates - Shopify takes care of platform updates on its own, BigCommerce requires more frequent technical support
Ecosystem - Shopify offers a rich selection of pre-built applications, BigCommerce is less flexible in this regard
Security - in Shopify all security issues are managed centrally, BigCommerce users have to pay more attention to their own settings
Our three approaches to migration your store to Shopify
The Headless approach using Next.js allows you to separate the front-end from the Shopify backend, giving you the ability to fully customize the interface. This solution allows you to fine-tune the look and functionality of your store, which is crucial when migrating from BigCommerce.
Maximum design flexibility
High performance - fast loading pages thanks to Next.js optimizations,
Scalability - ability to handle high traffic and extensive product catalogs,
Server Side Rendering (SSR) allows faster page loading for users.
Use of modern technologies - use of the latest web solutions,
Personalized experience - ability to create personalized offers based on customer data.
Hydrogen, based on the React framework, enables the creation of dynamic pages in the migration process from BigCommerce to Shopify. It ensures consistent site performance and allows you to fully personalize site elements as desired.
Highly personalized interface - unique store design tailored to your brand
Instant rendering - optimization of page loading in accordance with Hydrogen technology
Cutting-edge technologies - use of the latest web solutions
Easy integration with Shopify - seamless connection with the built-in system
Modularity - reusability of components
Security - use of security features provided by Shopify
When migrating from BigCommerce to Shopify, we suggest creating a dedicated template based on Liquid. Such a solution allows you to completely replicate your store's custom design and functionality, according to your brand's requirements.
Shopify takes care of the hosting, which eliminates additional costs and server maintenance issues
Intuitive editor - easy content management with Liquid's user-friendly interface
Low implementation price - cost-effective solution compared to headless and hydrogen
Full compatibility - easy access to data and integration with Shopify
Access to thousands of apliactions on the ShopifyApp Store
How our BigCommerce to Shopify migration works
We review your BigCommerce store: catalogue, customers, orders, extensions, integrations, URLs and SEO. You get a clear scope, a schedule and a list of what moves 1:1 and what needs a Shopify equivalent.
We map BigCommerce products, variant options and modifiers, custom fields, categories, brands, customer groups and web pages to Shopify products, variants, metafields, collections and pages.
We build the store on a custom theme, Hydrogen or a headless front-end, then set up apps, payments, shipping, taxes and integrations such as ERP, PIM or marketing tools.
We run test migrations on a staging store and check products, prices, stock, customers and orders against the source data, so errors are fixed before launch, not after.
Every old product, category and content URL gets a 301 redirect to its new Shopify address. We carry over meta titles, descriptions and image alt texts, add structured data and submit the new sitemap to Google Search Console.
We sync the latest orders and customers, switch the domain with minimal downtime and monitor sales, tracking and search traffic closely in the first weeks after launch.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a BigCommerce to Shopify migration take?
It depends on catalogue size, number of integrations and design scope. After the free audit you get a fixed schedule broken down into stages, so you know the launch date before the work starts.
Will I lose my Google rankings?
Not if the migration is done properly. We map every old URL to its new address with 301 redirects, keep meta data and content, and monitor Google Search Console after launch to catch and fix any issues quickly.
Can customer accounts and order history be moved?
Yes. Customers, addresses and order history are migrated. For security reasons passwords can't be transferred between platforms, so customers receive an invitation to activate their account on the new store.
What happens to my BigCommerce apps and integrations?
BigCommerce apps don't move to Shopify. We replace each one with a Shopify app, a built-in feature or a custom app, and reconnect your ERP, PIM, payment and shipping integrations.
How are BigCommerce product options and modifiers handled?
Options that create real variants become Shopify variants. Modifiers such as personalisation text or add-ons are handled with metafields, line-item properties or a dedicated app, depending on how they affect price and stock.
