BigCommerce to Shopify migration
Specifically scoped for BigCommerce merchants moving to Shopify or Shopify Plus. Storefront, catalogue, and integrations handled together — no surprises in week 8.
Process
- Catalogue audit. Product variants, modifier rules, B2B price lists, custom fields — what maps cleanly and what needs a rethink.
- Storefront port. Stencil templates → Liquid (or Hydrogen if headless), preserving SEO URLs and metafields parity.
- Integration re-wire. ERP/CRM connectors, payment gateway swaps, webhook subscribers, BigCommerce Channel Manager equivalents.
- Data + cutover. Historical data via API, redirect map, DNS swap, rollback rehearsal.
What you get
- BigCommerce-specific risk register (modifier rules, price lists, channel routing)
- Side-by-side product/checkout parity testing before cutover
- Engineering team familiar with both platforms' quirks
- Scoped post-launch support window agreed in writing
Timeline
Scoped after audit
Generally faster than a from-scratch rebuild because BigCommerce exports are well-structured, but the real timeline depends on modifier-rule complexity and integration count. We confirm a window after the catalogue audit.
FAQ
- What about BigCommerce price lists for B2B?
- Shopify Plus B2B catalogues handle most cases natively. Quantity-based and tiered pricing rules sometimes need a custom-app layer; we scope this in week 1.
- Do BigCommerce modifier rules port cleanly?
- Mostly to Shopify variant + product options + line item properties. The few that don't need product-config redesign — we flag these on the catalogue audit.
- How do you handle the Channel Manager?
- Shopify equivalents are Markets (international), Shop App, and channel-specific apps for Amazon/eBay. We map your existing channel-by-channel.
- Will we lose SEO?
- Not if it's done properly. We export every BigCommerce URL → map to Shopify path → 301 redirect. Canonical and structured data survive intact.
- Can we keep our payment processor?
- Depends on the processor. Stripe, Adyen, Worldpay all work on Shopify. BigCommerce-specific gateways may not — we check this on day 1.
