Features and integrationsApps, pricing, balances and connected systems 4 areas
Information reviewedProposed treatmentMain acceptance check
Apps and custom functionalityRebuilt: a BigCommerce feature, a suitable app or scoped development. A data import does not recreate platform-specific code.The feature works the way your team expects.
Pricing, promotions and business rulesRebuilt: bigCommerce features, an app or development, matched to the plan and configuration you choose.Each buyer type sees the right products and price.
Balances and recurring commitmentsRebuilt or archived: reconciled balances, subscriptions or credits with an agreed treatment for each.Value is honored once and can’t be spent twice. Subscriptions, payment credentials, gift cards and credits are assessed individually.
Connected systems and paymentsReconnected: agreed reconnection with a named owner for each record.Records flow in the agreed direction and a test order completes.

Some records import after preparation. Some features need a different implementation. Some systems are reconnected, and some history may belong in an accessible archive. What can move depends on access to the source and on what is feasible, so exceptions and additional costs are documented before you approve the scope. We don’t promise that every data type transfers from every platform.

What to expect

  • Variants, options and personalization need appropriate mapping.
  • Source categories, collections and rules may require a different structure.
  • Customer records and customer passwords are separate issues.
  • Historical orders require an agreed import or archive approach.
  • Apps and platform-specific code do not become working BigCommerce functionality through a data import.
  • Subscriptions, payment credentials, gift cards and credits require individual assessment.
  • Marketing consent is handled separately from transferring contact details.
BUILD THE STORE AROUND THE DATA

Move to a BigCommerce store ready to run

Your data and storefront are planned together. We agree how your products should display, how customers should buy and how your team should manage the store.
Option 1

Configure a suitable BigCommerce theme

Start from a suitable theme and set it up around your brand and catalog.

Option 2

Customize layouts and functionality

Adapt templates, layouts and storefront behavior to the way you sell.

Option 3

Recreate agreed elements of your current design

Rebuild the parts of your current design that you want to keep. Old theme code is not copied over.

Step 1

Current requirement

What the feature does for your business today.

Step 2

Proposed BigCommerce approach

A BigCommerce feature, suitable app, integration or scoped development, with its cost and trade-offs explained.

Step 3

Acceptance check

How we test that it works the way your team expects.

Typical examples: product options, wholesale pricing, subscriptions, search, loyalty, fulfillment and accounting. We don’t promise a named app or identical behavior until we have reviewed your store.

Illustrative examples

Examples only. Your proposal maps each requirement from your own store.

Current requirementProposed BigCommerce approachAcceptance check
Product personalizationSuitable product options, app or developmentInstructions reach the order
Wholesale pricingAppropriate customer and pricing setupAgreed buyers see the correct prices
ERP stock updatesAgreed connectionStock and order flows reconcile
NavigationMapped categories and menusKey buying journeys work

Your proposal separates the work. The migration, storefront work, additional development and optional ongoing services are each identified on their own, so you only pay for what you choose.

PLAN FOR THE TRAFFIC YOU ALREADY HAVE

Plan the URLs before you change platforms

A platform change can alter your URLs, content structure and connected channels. We keep what can stay, map what has to change and check the agreed destinations after the switch. Not every existing path needs to change.
  • Existing URL inventory and important landing pages.
  • URLs that can be retained.
  • Changed paths and relevant 301 redirects.
  • Existing redirects reviewed.
  • Metadata and internal links.
  • Canonicals, indexing and sitemaps.
  • Analytics, feeds and campaign destinations.

We plan and test the agreed migration SEO work, but rankings and traffic can change after a platform move. Redirect behavior depends on the source and the agreed approach, so we don’t promise unchanged traffic or full redirect coverage. See our article on SEO considerations for ecommerce migration.

Illustrative example paths only. We work from your store’s actual URLs, redirects and settings.

HOW THE MIGRATION WORKS

Review the store. Prove the setup. Coordinate the launch.

Six stages, each with a point where you review the work. Nothing goes live until you approve the new store.
1

Review requirements and agree scope

We review your catalog, data, features, URLs and connected systems, then write the proposal: scope, the BigCommerce setup that fits, who does what, and the quote.

You approveScope, quote and responsibilities.

2

Map data and test representative records

We map what transfers and test difficult cases on sample records.

You reviewSample records and difficult buying scenarios.

3

Build the storefront and reconnect systems

We build the private BigCommerce store, set up the storefront and connect the agreed apps and systems.

You reviewThe private BigCommerce store.

4

Validate data and buying journeys

We reconcile the data and walk through the buying journeys with you.

You reviewData checks and test orders.

5

Complete final updates and launch after approval

We apply the agreed final updates and coordinate the switch once you approve.

You approveThe go-live decision.

6

Reconcile late activity and hand over

We check activity around the switch, account for late records and hand the store over.

You receiveThe handover and post-launch support.

Migration tools, exports and authorized APIs may help move supported records. Our managed service covers the agreed mapping, storefront, features, testing and launch work around that transfer. A free migration app does not make the complete managed project free. Timings depend on your store and are confirmed in your proposal after the review.

YOUR LIVE STORE AND THE LAUNCH WINDOW

Prepare BigCommerce while your current store keeps trading

1

Initial preparation

Prepare agreed records while your current store stays live.

2

Private build and testing

Review BigCommerce privately and resolve agreed issues.

3

Final updates and cutover

Update selected changing records, then coordinate the cut-off and the system switch.

4

Late-activity reconciliation

Check activity around the switch and account for agreed missing records, even one order.

Agree the launch plan

So the switch is planned, not improvised.

  • The live source of truth while BigCommerce is prepared.
  • A catalog freeze or change tracking.
  • Which changing records receive final updates.
  • Who owns inventory during the switch.
  • When integrations are switched.
  • The cut-off and reconciliation responsibilities.
  • Any temporary checkout restrictions, agreed in advance.
  • Recovery arrangements if something needs to be reversed.

We don’t promise zero downtime, uninterrupted checkout or unlimited automatic synchronization. What happens during the switch is agreed with you in advance, and we don’t recommend closing the original store until the agreed checks and remaining dependencies are complete.

THE REQUIREMENTS DECIDE THE SETUP

A straightforward catalog and a complex operation need different plans

01

Wholesale and B2B buying

Company access, pricing, quantities, terms and buyer workflows.

02

Multiple brands and storefronts

Domains, catalogs, languages, currencies and shared operations.

03

ERP, PIM and fulfillment connections

Record ownership, directions of updates and tested order flow.

04

Retail, subscriptions and specialist requirements

POS decisions, recurring obligations, digital access and unusual product behavior.

These are requirements we assess, not features included in every plan. We check each one against the appropriate BigCommerce configuration, plan, apps and implementation, and not every capability is included in every plan or migration project.

CLIENT REVIEWS

What merchants say about their move

Read all reviews

The online store migration was seamless without having 0 downtime. The staff is properly trained, well communicated and proactive Highly recommended

AAZ Stores
Platform migration

Web commerce pros created a really lovely design for our website. They also changed the layout for our images and updated/resized images so that the site is overall much more attractive. We have been receiving a lot of positive feedback from customers on the ease of use and the overall look of our site. In addition, we are very grateful to Roy for coming up with a creative solution for allowing customers to easily create their own quotes, which has been very helpful to both our operations and our customers.

Design & custom features

Arfat and team were proficient with BigCommerce Page Builder and Shogun to create and modify pages. We successfully completed the migration with their assistance and were happy with their work. We would hire again soon for our next project.

A QUOTE BASED ON YOUR STORE

Understand the complete cost of your move

Your price depends on the store you have, not a standard package. Here is what shapes it, and what sits beside it. Your store review is free. Your proposal confirms the project price, responsibilities and timeline before work begins.

Record volume and data quality

What we can reach and how clean it is.

Product options and custom information

Variants, options and custom fields.

Historical records

Customers, orders and balances.

Storefront design

A written proposal separates

You see each part of the cost on its own, so nothing is hidden inside a single number. Platform plans, apps and payment-provider terms are set by their providers and change over time, so we confirm the current options during scoping. We don’t assume BigCommerce will cost more or less than your current platform.

  • One-time migration and build
  • Platform subscription
  • Apps and integrations
  • Payment-related costs
  • Temporary overlap with the existing platform
  • Optional ongoing services

FAQ

BigCommerce migration questions, answered

Straight answers about the service and what happens next. Platform-specific questions are answered once we review your store.

Planning

We review the source platform, the records we can access and the functionality you need before confirming the route and scope. Send us your website address and the name of your current platform, or tell us about a custom-built store, and we will explain what can transfer, what needs rebuilding and what information we need.

Yes. We review the catalog, apps, content, customer records and integrations on the Shopify store, then agree how each part moves to BigCommerce. See our dedicated Shopify to BigCommerce migration guide for the detail.

It depends on your products, buying journeys, operations and costs. We work with both Shopify and BigCommerce, and we assess the proposed setup against what your business actually needs. BigCommerce is not automatically the right destination for every store, and we will say so if another route fits better.

Moving to a platform other than BigCommerce? See our shopping cart migration services or our Shopify migration services.
