Data areas and validationCatalog, customers, orders, content, SEO and app data 6 areas
| Data area | Potential scope | Validation focus |
|---|---|---|
| Catalog | Products, SKUs, variants, categories, images, and agreed custom fields. | Record counts, field mapping, and product samples. |

Plan for search visibility and business continuity
SEO safeguards
- Inventory important existing URLs.
- Map changed pages to relevant destinations.
- Implement and test appropriate permanent redirects.
- Review metadata, canonicals, internal links, and sitemaps.
- Check crawl access and remove staging restrictions at launch.
- Monitor search visibility and errors after release.
Search rankings can fluctuate while search engines process a migration. No agency can guarantee unchanged rankings.
Operational readiness
- Test representative products and customer journeys.
- Verify checkout, payments, shipping, and tax configuration.
- Check essential integrations and notifications.
- Agree how new orders and updates will be handled during the move.
- Plan the release window, responsibilities, and recovery options.

What store owners say about working with us
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.
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.
Webecommercepros are great web developers and good people. They moved our 1,000+ page website from our old platform to BigCommerce and did it fast and efficiently. They created all of our new artwork, 301 redirects, converted all of our products and more in record time at a very reasonable cost. We use them for all of our ongoing work like increasing load speed, updating our theme and shopping cart and site changes that we ask for. Highly recommend!
The team at Web Ecommerce Pros did an excellent job with our site migration. Roy and his team took great care in migrating the data from our 17yo Yahoo store to ensure a seamless transition at the time of launch. They showed excellent communication when site changes needed to be made prior to launch and also helped us choose the appropriate apps to attain the functionality we were looking for with our site.
We were in desperate need to move from Volusion to Big commerce as Volusion was not keeping up with all the available apps and Big commerce is a much user friendly platform for a small business like ours. I was really worried about the cost but found Web Ecommerce Pros and it was the best decision we made. They gave us a reasonable price, one that we could afford to do the transition from Volusion to Big Commerce and their service was outstanding. Very responsive, listened to our needs and we were able to move to Big commerce and have our website up and running with no issue. Even after a week of having our website live if there were some glitches on a link or image etc they were still helping to fix those kinks. Highly recommend. They are a very professional team. Further more I am now waiting on a quote from them to help us set up our products on Amazon.

The service
It helps move an online store to a different ecommerce platform. Depending on the agreed scope, this can include data transfer, storefront development, integration setup, SEO migration, testing, and launch coordination.
Ask for a clear scope, relevant platform experience, a validation approach, integration responsibilities, and a launch plan. Request genuine examples of comparable work where available.
A data-focused service may suit a straightforward transfer. If you also need a storefront rebuild, integration changes, SEO planning, or coordinated launch support, those requirements should be included in the wider project scope.
Timing and launch
Timing depends on the platforms, data quality, catalog structure, custom functionality, and integrations involved. A useful estimate follows a review of the existing store and the required destination setup.
It can. Changes to URLs, content, internal links, and technical configuration can affect search visibility. URL mapping, relevant redirects, testing, and monitoring help manage the transition, but rankings may fluctuate.
Often, much of the preparation can happen while the current store remains live. The project still needs an agreed approach to new orders, inventory changes, final synchronization, and the launch window.
Data and apps
This depends on the destination platform, account system, payment provider, and subscription tools. Passwords may require account reactivation or a different sign-in flow. Subscription contracts and saved payment methods need a separate compatibility review.
Usually, moving data does not recreate a storefront or its functionality. Themes, apps, and custom features need to be assessed and may require rebuilding, replacement, or reconfiguration.
