BIGCOMMERCE → SHOPIFYA team that understands both platforms

BigCommerce to Shopify Migration Services

Move from BigCommerce to Shopify with a team that understands both platforms.

We review your products, pricing, customer journeys and integrations, then plan, build and test the Shopify store your business needs.

We love working with Shopify and BigCommerce—and help merchants move in either direction.

Illustrative workflow, not a live project

Your next stage

What would you like your next store to do differently?

You may already have chosen Shopify, or you may still be weighing it up. We start with the changes you want to make and the parts of BigCommerce that already work well for your business.
01

Build a different storefront

A new design, a preferred Shopify theme or a different way to present products and manage content.

02

Use your preferred tools

A particular Shopify app, retail setup or connection that supports the way your team wants to work.

03

Bring operations together

A plan to align your store with another Shopify business, team or existing set of systems.

A move should have a clear purpose. Both platforms are capable. We compare the proposed Shopify setup with your requirements and explain any gaps before you commit. If improving your BigCommerce store is the better route, we’ll say so.

Start with your actual setup

Your BigCommerce store is more than its product catalog

Two BigCommerce stores can have very different requirements. One may run a simple catalog on a standard theme; another may depend on modifiers, price lists, several storefronts and connected systems. We establish what you actually use before choosing tools or proposing a Shopify plan.
  • Products, variants, modifiers and custom information.
  • Customer groups, price lists and B2B functionality.
  • Theme, content, storefronts and domains.
  • Apps, payments and connected business systems.

Some information imports directly, some needs transformation, and some functionality needs rebuilding. Exceptions and additional costs are documented before approval.

Three kinds of treatment

Each item is imported as a record, rebuilt as functionality or kept in an accessible archive. Your proposal says which is which.

  • Imported · records moved into Shopify
  • Rebuilt · functionality set up again
  • Archive · kept accessible outside the live store
No orders left behind

Build Shopify separately, then coordinate the switch

1

Initial migration

Prepare agreed records while BigCommerce remains the live store.

2

Build and validation

Review Shopify privately and resolve agreed issues.

3

Final update and launch

Update selected changing records and coordinate the domain and system changes.

4

Late-order reconciliation

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

Agree the catalog coordination

So the switch is planned, not improvised.

  • A catalog freeze or change log, stock ownership, the cut-off and how structural changes are handled.
  • Any extra migration run or temporary checkout restriction is discussed in advance.
One team for the move and the store

Build the Shopify storefront around your requirements

BigCommerce themes don’t install on Shopify, so the storefront is a decision of its own. We can start from a new theme, customize one or recreate the parts of your current design that matter.
Option 1

Set up a new Shopify theme

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

Option 2

Customize a Shopify theme

Adapt a theme’s templates, sections and navigation to the way you sell.

Option 3

Recreate agreed design elements

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

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.

Variants, modifiers & custom fields

Keep the choices your customers depend on

A stocked size, an engraving instruction and a paid extra do different jobs. We map each one to the right Shopify setup instead of treating every product choice as a variant.

Stocked size and colour combinationsValid variants, SKUs, prices and stock
Personalization text and uploadsSuitable inputs, an app or scoped development
Paid extras and option adjustmentsA supported implementation with final totals tested
Specifications and custom fieldsMetafields and editable product content
Categories and brandsCollections, navigation, filters and relevant brand content
Linked-product choicesAgreed product relationships, pricing and inventory behavior

These are possible approaches, not automatic replacements. Your proposal confirms the method, costs and limitations.

Products with many variants

Shopify’s help center currently lists up to 2,048 variants and up to three options per product (checked October 2026). We also check what your theme, apps and import method support, because a large option set may need a different product structure.

  • Up to 2,048 variants
  • Up to 3 options
  • Theme & app fit
  • Import route
Test the buying experience

A copied option isn’t a working replacement

We check what happens when a customer chooses, personalizes and orders a product, not only whether the record arrived.
  • The right combinations are available.
  • Paid extras change the total correctly.
  • Stock follows the item actually sold.
  • Customer instructions reach the order and fulfillment team.

Try the example on the right: pick a size, switch personalization on and type a short instruction.

Customer groups, price lists & B2B

Preserve the price and access each buyer should receive

Ordinary customer-group pricing and broader B2B Edition requirements are different jobs. Importing group names doesn’t recreate price lists, permissions or purchasing workflows, so we document what each buyer should see, pay and be allowed to do, then rebuild and test it on Shopify.
  • Group, account and storefront-specific prices.
  • Quantity breaks and promotion interactions.
  • Restricted products and purchase eligibility.
  • Company accounts and buyer permissions.
  • Quotes, payment terms and invoice workflows.

An example only. We build the test list from the groups, price lists and rules your store really uses.

Shopify B2B features vary by plan. We assess the behavior you need before recommending native features, apps, development or Shopify Plus, and we recheck Shopify’s current plan features when we scope the project.

Plan the business around the store

Give every storefront and connection a destination

Multiple storefronts

Review brands, domains, catalogs, languages and shared operations before deciding the Shopify architecture.

Apps and custom functionality

Document what each feature does, what replaces it and whether the workflow changes.

Connected systems

Agree how ERP, PIM, inventory, fulfillment, accounting and marketing tools will connect.

Integration decision cardIllustrative entry
Requirement

Stock levels stay in step with the warehouse system

2Data owner
Which system is the source of truth for stock.
3Update direction
Which way updates flow and how often.
4Acceptance check
A test order reaches the warehouse once and stock updates correctly in both places.

A one-time migration and an ongoing connection are different pieces of work. Where both are needed, the proposal defines each separately.

Look after existing customers

Carry the history without overlooking what is still owed

Account access and consent

Plan sign-in and customer communication. Keep marketing consent separate from customer records.

Open orders and history

Agree where fulfillment, refunds and customer service happen. Prevent imported history from triggering unintended activity.

Balances and recurring commitments

Assess gift certificates, store credit, subscriptions and saved-payment dependencies separately.

Passwords and payment credentials are not ordinary import fields. The account and payment arrangements are confirmed during scoping.

Plan for the links customers already use

Give existing traffic a route to the new store

Shopify uses its own paths for products, collections and pages, so many URLs change. We inventory the links shoppers, search engines, feeds and ads actually use, then test where each one lands.
  • Inventory important product, category, brand and content URLs.
  • Map relevant Shopify destinations.
  • Carry over agreed metadata and useful content.
  • Check indexing, canonicals and internal links.
  • Review feeds, campaign destinations and conversion tracking.

Redirect coverage depends on your actual URLs and Shopify’s supported behavior. Rankings can change after a platform move, so we don’t promise unchanged traffic.

BigCommerce URLShopify URL

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.

How the migration works

Agree the plan, review the store, then approve the launch

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

Review and scope

We review your catalog, features and integrations, then write the scope and quote.

You approveRequirements, responsibilities and quote.

2

Map and test

We map what transfers, what is rebuilt and what changes, and test difficult cases on sample records.

You reviewRepresentative data and difficult buying scenarios.

3

Build and connect

We build the private Shopify store and connect the agreed apps and systems.

You reviewThe private Shopify store.

4

Validate together

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

You reviewReconciliation, journeys and outstanding issues.

5

Launch and reconcile

We coordinate the switch, then check the live store and the orders around it.

We coordinateFinal updates and live checks.

6

Support and handover

We close out the project with documentation and post-launch help.

You receiveThe agreed handover and post-launch support.

Timings depend on your store and are confirmed in your proposal after the review. This is a one-time migration with a final update at launch, not ongoing two-way synchronization.

After the switch

The migration includes a plan for what happens next

Every migration includes one month of free post-launch migration support within the agreed scope. If something from the move needs attention, the same team that moved your store fixes it.

Handover checklist

  • Domain and DNS changes complete.
  • Business email accounted for.
  • Required historical records retained.
  • Old integrations and subscriptions reviewed.
  • Remaining dependencies checked before cancellation.

New features and ongoing development remain separate scopes.

1 month freepost-launch migration support

FAQ

BigCommerce to Shopify migration questions, answered

Straight answers about the move, including the parts that need extra care.

Planning

It depends on what you want your next store to do differently. Both platforms are capable, so we compare the proposed Shopify setup with your requirements, explain any gaps and show the complete running costs before you commit. If improving your BigCommerce store is the better route, we’ll say so.

Yes. We are a BigCommerce Partner and an official Shopify Partner, so our advice starts with your business rather than a platform. Both partner profiles are linked at the top of this page.

Yes. If the decision is made, we skip the comparison and start with the review: what you use on BigCommerce today, what moves, what needs rebuilding and what the Shopify project involves. We still flag any gap we find, so there are no surprises later.

Not automatically. Plus is worth considering only when a requirement needs it, for example some B2B or multi-store needs, and Shopify’s plan features change over time. We assess the behavior you need first, then recommend native features, an app, development or Plus.
