Why brands switch

Good platform. Smaller ecosystem. That gap costs you.

The app you need exists — on Shopify

Subscriptions, bundles, loyalty, quizzes: the best tools launch on Shopify first, and many never reach BigCommerce at all.

Shop Pay converts

Tens of millions of buyers already have one-tap checkout on Shopify. That familiarity shows up directly in conversion rate.

Themes your team can edit

Shopify's section-based editor beats Stencil for day-to-day changes — no developer needed for a campaign swap.

Everything that moves, and how

Migrated with scripts, verified item by item against the source, and spot-checked by a human before cutover.

✓Products, options, images & metadata
✓Customers with addresses & groups
✓Complete order history
✓Product reviews
✓Blog posts & web pages
✓Coupons rebuilt as Shopify discounts
✓Gift certificates as Shopify gift cards
✓Meta titles & descriptions preserved

The migration risk isn't data. It's rankings.

A botched migration loses years of SEO in a weekend. We crawl your full URL inventory, map every BigCommerce URL to its Shopify equivalent, and verify every redirect before and after cutover.

✓Full URL inventory crawled before anything moves
✓1:1 301 map — no lazy redirects to the homepage
✓Rankings monitored for 60 days post-launch

How it works

Your BigCommerce store stays live the whole time

01

Scope & map

Catalog audit, app inventory, URL crawl. Every source feature gets a Shopify answer first.

02

Build the new store

Theme, apps, and settings built while the old store keeps selling. Nothing touches your live site.

03

Migrate & verify

Data moved and checked against the source. A final delta sync catches orders placed during the build.

04

Cut over & monitor

DNS switch with zero downtime, redirects live instantly, rankings and errors monitored for 60 days.

Why migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify?

  • Shopify's app ecosystem — 8,000+ apps vs BigCommerce's smaller marketplace
  • Better theme flexibility — Shopify 2.0 sections everywhere for no-code customization
  • Shopify Plus — enterprise features at a lower price point than BigCommerce Enterprise
  • Faster checkout — Shopify's checkout consistently outperforms BigCommerce in conversion benchmarks
  • Simpler platform — easier for non-technical merchants to manage day-to-day

BigCommerce migration FAQ

Will I lose my SEO rankings when migrating from BigCommerce to Shopify?

Not with proper migration. We implement 301 redirects for every URL change, preserve meta titles and descriptions, and submit updated sitemaps to Google Search Console. Most clients maintain or improve their rankings post-migration.

Will there be any downtime during the migration?

No. We build and test the new Shopify store in parallel with your live BigCommerce store. The DNS cutover takes minutes and is typically done during off-peak hours.

Can you migrate our customer passwords from BigCommerce?

Shopify's security model requires customers to reset passwords via a one-click email sent automatically after migration. This is standard across all platform migrations and takes 30 seconds for your customers.

How much does a BigCommerce to Shopify migration cost?

Migration cost scales with product count, data complexity, and custom features required. We provide a free scoped quote after reviewing your BigCommerce store.
