Frequently asked questions
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 projects start from $999 for small stores and scale based on product count, data complexity, and custom features required. We provide a free scoped quote after reviewing your BigCommerce store.
