BigCommerce to Shopify Migration Services That Move the Data, the URLs and the Revenue Together

BigCommerce to Shopify migration services should leave nothing behind: not the option sets, not the customer groups, not the root-level URLs Google has already indexed. We map every record into Shopify's model, rehearse the import on a development store and switch the domain in one planned window. Fixed packages from $1,190, built by a team with 450+ Shopify launches since 2015. Price your own move in the calculator below.

  • Products, option sets, customers, orders and reviews mapped into Shopify fields
  • Every root-level BigCommerce URL given a 301 destination before cutover
  • Stencil design rebuilt as an editable Shopify theme, not a lookalike template
  • Fixed price, rehearsed import and a cutover window with the old store kept as fallback

Our track record

Over 450 Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015. Yours Can Be the Next One Moved Cleanly.

A BigCommerce store that already sells has orders, rankings and customer habits that a careless import would erase. Ten years of Shopify-only delivery and a 4.9+ average from verified clients is the track record behind every move we take on.

Who this is for

Who Our BigCommerce to Shopify Migration Services Suit

Plenty of owners decide to migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify for the same few reasons, and each one needs a slightly different plan. Six scenarios cover nearly every BigCommerce exit we handle.

Merchants tired of plan-tier revenue limits

BigCommerce moves stores up a plan as annual sales climb. If that ladder feels like a tax on growth, a flat Shopify plan and a predictable fee schedule can be a calmer base to scale from.

Teams who want a larger app marketplace

You keep hitting a missing integration or paying for a bespoke connector. Shopify's app store covers reviews, subscriptions, loyalty and shipping with ready-made options we install and configure.

Brands running a Stencil theme nobody can edit

The developer who built your Handlebars templates is gone, and every change costs a ticket. We rebuild the design on Online Store 2.0 so your team edits sections in the theme editor.

Wholesale sellers on B2B Edition

Company accounts, customer-group pricing and quote flows must survive the move. We map them to Shopify's company profiles, catalogs and price lists and test each buyer type.

Owners chasing a better checkout rate

Shopify's checkout and wallet buttons are a common reason to switch. We carry over your payment methods, shipping zones and taxes so the faster checkout is ready on day one.

Stores selling in several countries

Separate BigCommerce storefronts, currencies and languages can collapse into one Shopify store using Markets. We plan the structure first so SEO signals stay attached to the right regional URLs.

Good fit signalsYou sell on BigCommerce today and want to keep your rankings and customersYou want a written scope and a fixed price instead of an hourly meterYour catalog uses option sets, modifiers or customer-group pricing that must be mapped with careYou want the old store to stay live until the new one passes every check
Problems solved

BigCommerce to Shopify Migration Without Losing SEO: The Traps and Our Fixes

A BigCommerce to Shopify migration without losing SEO depends on a handful of platform quirks that generic importers ignore. Here is what goes wrong when they are missed and what we do about each one.

The problem

Root-level URLs have no pattern to redirect by.

The outcome

BigCommerce serves products and categories straight off the domain with a trailing slash, so /blue-mug/ and /mugs/ look identical in structure. We crawl the live site and read the URL fields to tell them apart before writing a single rule.

The problem

Product images vanish when the old plan is cancelled.

The outcome

Descriptions often embed pictures hosted on BigCommerce's own CDN. We find those links, upload the files to Shopify and rewrite each reference, so nothing breaks the day your old subscription ends.

The problem

Option sets and modifiers do not fit Shopify variants.

The outcome

Text fields, file uploads and checkbox add-ons have no variant equivalent, and Shopify limits products to three options. We decide per product whether to flatten, split or use line item properties, then test the cart.

The problem

Customer passwords cannot travel.

The outcome

Shopify cannot import password hashes. We import accounts, addresses and tags, then plan a welcome email so returning customers can sign in with a one-time code or set a new password without friction.

The problem

Customer groups quietly lose their pricing.

The outcome

Group discounts and price lists on BigCommerce become tags, catalogs or company price lists on Shopify. We map each group to the right mechanism and verify a sample price per group before launch.

The problem

Scripts, redirects and tracking stop firing unnoticed.

The outcome

Script Manager snippets and tracking pixels live outside the theme. We inventory them, rebuild what you still need on Shopify and confirm purchase events reach analytics on a test order.

What we can do

What a BigCommerce to Shopify Migration Expert Handles

Moving a store involves data, design, search and integrations at once. These six capabilities show where our hours go, and why a fixed fee below an agency retainer can still cover the whole job.

Catalog export and field mapping

We export the catalog from the BigCommerce control panel and API, map SKUs, brands, custom fields and categories to Shopify products, vendors, metafields and collections, and import it first into a development store for rehearsal.

A bigcommerce to Shopify migration expert for URLs

We take every indexed address from a crawl and the export, classify it as product, category, brand, blog or page, and write a one-to-one 301 file. Retired pages get a deliberate destination rather than a blanket homepage redirect.

Stencil to Online Store 2.0 rebuild

Handlebars templates cannot be moved, so we rebuild your layout using Liquid sections and blocks. Header, product page, filters and footer match your brand, and your staff can reorder content afterwards without a developer.

Customer, group and order history import

Accounts, addresses, tags and historical orders are loaded with original dates and order numbers kept in the order name or a tag. Imported orders do not touch stock or send emails, so customers never receive false notifications.

Shopify Plus and B2B configuration

For a bigcommerce to Shopify plus migration we set up companies, catalogs and price lists, checkout customization with current extensibility tools, and Markets for regional storefronts, then test each buyer type against its expected price.

POS and tool connections

We cover bigcommerce pos integration with Shopify by installing Shopify POS, creating locations, syncing inventory counts and connecting shipping, tax and accounting apps, so your counter and your online shop draw from the same stock.

What is included

What Your BigCommerce to Shopify Migration Includes

The work is split into six deliverable groups. Packages differ in how much of each group they cover, and the comparison table lower on the page lines every item up by package.

Watch the data move

How a BigCommerce Catalog Lands in Shopify, Step by Step

Follow a catalog from the old control panel to the new store. Records pass through a mapping gate where option sets are matched, a flagged conflict is resolved, and every old address gains a matching 301 destination before the switch.

How We Migrate BigCommerce to Shopify, Step by Step

Anyone wondering how to migrate BigCommerce to Shopify safely will find the order matters more than the tools. We follow six stages with written sign-off between each, and the calculator shows how catalog size and option complexity move the schedule.

Launch QA visual for BigCommerce to Shopify Migration
BigCommerce Launch QA
  1. 1

    Audit the old store

    We export the catalog, crawl every indexed address and list your apps, groups and scripts. You get a written scope showing exactly what moves and what is replaced.

  2. 2

    Map and stage

    Fields, options and groups are mapped to Shopify, then a full trial import runs on a development store so problems appear before anything is live.

  3. 3

    Rebuild the storefront

    Your Stencil layout is redrawn as a Shopify theme using your brand, with preview links so you can review pages on your own devices.

  4. 4

    Write the redirects

    Each old address is paired with its closest Shopify page, tested in a single hop and prepared as a file for import on cutover day.

  5. 5

    Test like a customer

    We place orders in every payment method, check discounts, shipping and tax, and compare product and customer totals with the source.

  6. 6

    Switch and monitor

    We repeat the delta import, change the domain, import redirects and crawl the live store, then watch Search Console for early warnings.

Technical approach

Technical Map of a BigCommerce to Shopify Move

Here is how each layer is handled, what we do inside it and what you receive. Treat it as a bigcommerce to Shopify migration checklist you can hold us to, from the first export to the final crawl.

SEO redirects visual for BigCommerce to Shopify Migration
BigCommerce SEO redirects
AreaWhat we doWhat you receive
Export and stagingExport products with the bulk edit template and API, customers, orders and blog content. Load everything into a Shopify development store first, so duplicates, broken rows and oversized variant sets show up while nothing is live.Staged store with a data issue log
Products, options and variantsConvert product rows, SKU rows and rule rows into Shopify's handle-and-variant format. Reduce options to Shopify's three-option limit, move custom fields to metafields and turn brands into vendors.Mapping sheet and import files
URL inventory and redirectsMerge crawl results, sitemap and export URLs, classify every root-level path and write 301 rules to /products/, /collections/, /blogs/ and /pages/. Avoid chains and never redirect retired URLs blindly to the homepage.Redirect CSV and a mapping sheet
Customers and groupsImport accounts with tags and consent flags, translate customer groups into tags, catalogs or company price lists, and plan the first-sign-in email because password hashes cannot move.Customer import log and group rule table
Orders, reviews and gift balancesLoad historical orders as archived records without stock effects, keep the original order number visible, import reviews into your chosen review app and reissue gift certificate balances by agreed method.Order reconciliation report

Risk, dependencies and success plan

Migration Risks, Dependencies and Cutover Plan

A live store cannot afford surprises, so each dependency and gate is agreed in writing. Below you can see what we need from you, how the project is paced, which checks must pass and what happens during the switch.

Your responsibilities

  • Provide BigCommerce admin access or API credentials, and Shopify collaborator access
  • Name a decision-maker for approvals and the cutover date
  • Share brand assets and a list of apps you actively depend on
  • Tell us about payment processors, subscriptions and saved cards in use
  • Confirm which customer groups carry special pricing
  • Agree an order freeze window with your fulfilment team
  • Review each milestone inside the agreed time so the schedule holds

Milestones

  • Scope and data audit approvedCatalog size, options, groups and URL counts are confirmed in writing.
  • Staged import acceptedA sample of products, customers and orders is checked against the source.
  • Design approved on stagingTheme, navigation and key templates are reviewed on a preview link.
  • Redirect file verifiedEvery sampled old URL resolves to the right Shopify page in one hop.
  • QA passedTest orders, devices, tracking and speed meet the checklist.
  • Cutover and monitoringDomain switch, live crawl and Search Console review.

QA gates

  • Every indexed BigCommerce URL has a tested one-hop redirect
  • Product counts, variants and stock match the source export
  • Customer and order totals reconcile with the old control panel
  • Test orders succeed in each payment method with correct tax and shipping
  • Purchase and cart events reach analytics and ad platforms
  • Images no longer load from BigCommerce's CDN
  • The old store remains intact as a fallback

Launch criteria and support

  • Switch the domain outside your busiest trading hours
  • Final delta import for orders placed during the freeze
  • 301 rules loaded and sampled by hand before visitors are let back in
  • Live crawl immediately after cutover and again after a week
  • Updated sitemap submitted and Search Console watched for errors
  • Old plan cancelled only after you confirm everything works
  • Optional 30 days of aftercare is a single tick in the calculator

Inside every project

What Protects Your Orders During the Move

A store that takes money every day needs a controlled transfer. These safeguards are in every package and are the reason a fixed fee from us is safer than a weekend with an import tool.

Rehearsal before reality

The whole import runs on a development store first. Duplicates, bad rows and variant overflows are found and fixed there, long before any customer can see them.

Your BigCommerce store stays untouched

We only read from the old store, never edit it. If something unexpected happens at cutover, your original shop is still intact and can resume trading.

Redirects are tested, not assumed

Sample URLs from every type are requested and verified in one hop before launch, then the whole list is crawled again after the domain moves.

Access you control

Collaborator access can be revoked by you whenever you wish, and we never ask for the owner password, so nobody keeps a standing key to your store.

A checklist that defines done

Counts, prices, groups, test orders, tracking events, devices and speed are all checked and shown to you before we ask for approval to switch.

Documentation you can reuse

A recorded tour and written notes explain the new theme, the redirect list, the app map and how to add products and edit sections.

Shopify is all we do

Since 2015 we have designed and launched 450+ stores on one platform, so we know exactly where BigCommerce data needs extra care.

Design and data in one team

The people who map your catalog also rebuild your theme, so no detail slips through a gap between technical and visual work.

Rated 4.9+ by verified clients

Scores are left by clients who have already been through a move with us, which lets you look at past results first.

A price you can plan around

Each tier, option and extra carries a visible cost and day count, and anything over $2,500 is paid in two halves.

Direct contact with the builders

You talk to the people doing the work, so questions about a modifier or a redirect get answered quickly and clearly.

The finished store belongs to you

Everything lives in your Shopify account. Anything we build in our Partner account is transferred to you when the work is done.

What we need to get started

What We Need to Start Your Migration

A BigCommerce login, a list of what must not break and a single approver are enough to begin. Pick the access route that feels safest to you.

Accept our collaborator request

Got a Shopify store set up already? Share its web address and accept the collaborator invitation we send. You stay the owner, no password changes hands and you can end our access in one click.

Start fresh in our Partner account

Nothing on Shopify yet? Our own Partner account hosts the build, ownership passes to you at completion, and your plan choice is the final step.

Share staff login details instead

You can create a staff account for us as an alternative. We prefer collaborator access because it is simple to revoke, but a staff login lets us begin the audit immediately.

BigCommerce access or exports

Give us a read-only admin user or API credentials for the old store, so we can export the catalog, customers, orders, reviews and redirects directly.

Apps, payments and special features

List the apps, payment processors, subscription tools and customer groups you rely on, so each one is replaced or rebuilt on purpose.

Dates, freeze window and approver

Tell us about peak sale periods, how long orders can pause during the switch and who approves each stage and the final cutover.

Owner passwords and card numbers are never requested from you. Work happens on a development store, and your BigCommerce shop stays exactly as it is until you approve the switch.

FAQ

BigCommerce to Shopify Migration FAQs

Straight answers on cost, timing, SEO, what moves, what does not, and how the switch is handled.

How much do BigCommerce to Shopify migration services cost with you?

Packages start at $1,190 for Catalog Move, $2,290 for Storefront Move and $4,490 for Plus Transition. Catalog size, option complexity, order history and extras are added in the calculator, so most moves land between $1,200 and $7,000. You see the fixed total before you pay anything.

What is the bigcommerce to Shopify migration cost compared with doing it myself?

A tool such as Matrixify, Cart2Cart or LitExtension costs roughly $20 to $400, but the redirects, option mapping, theme rebuild and testing stay on you. Large agencies often open at $15,000 and above. Our fixed tiers land in the gap and still include the whole job.

How long does it take to migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify?

Catalog Move takes 6 to 10 working days, Storefront Move 12 to 20 and Plus Transition 22 to 38, before options. Bigger catalogs, complex modifiers and deeper order history add days that the calculator shows. Choose a faster schedule if you have a firm launch date.

How to migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify without downtime?

Keep the old store trading while we build and rehearse the new one on a development store. At cutover we repeat a delta import for recent orders, switch the domain, import redirects and crawl the result. Customers keep shopping throughout, apart from a short, agreed order freeze.

Will I lose my SEO if I migrate BigCommerce to Shopify?

Not if the redirect work is done properly, though a short wobble while Google recrawls is normal. We crawl the old site, map each product, category, brand, blog and page URL, carry over titles and descriptions and verify one-hop redirects. No agency can guarantee positions, but a mapped and verified redirect file removes the self-inflicted losses.

What does not transfer in a BigCommerce to Shopify migration?

Customer passwords, your Stencil theme, Script Manager snippets, app settings, discount codes and gift certificate balances do not move automatically. We rebuild or reissue each of these on purpose, and the scope document lists them one by one so there are no surprises at launch.

Do you offer a bigcommerce to Shopify plus migration?

Yes. Plus Transition adds company accounts, catalogs and price lists for wholesale buyers, Markets for regional storefronts, POS locations and a monitored cutover. Enterprise-scale catalogs, ERP links or headless storefronts receive an individual quote with agreed deliverables.

BigCommerce vs Shopify Plus: which one fits a growing store?

It depends on your channels and team. Shopify Plus offers a deep app ecosystem, checkout extensibility, B2B tools and Markets, while BigCommerce suits some catalog-heavy builds. We can compare both against your features and revenue plan before you commit to the move.

Is there a bigcommerce to Shopify migration guide I can follow myself?

Yes, the process is documented widely, and the steps are export, map, import, redirect, test and switch. Small catalogs with simple options can be done by an owner with patience. The difficult parts are redirects, modifiers and the theme, which is where most owners ask us to step in.

Is a Shopify store migration app enough for my BigCommerce store?

An app moves the easy 80 percent: products, customers and orders. It does not write your redirect file, rebuild your theme, replace your apps or reissue gift balances. We often use the same tools internally, then add the mapping, rebuild and testing around them.

Can you handle bigcommerce pos integration with Shopify?

Yes. We install Shopify POS, create your locations, load stock counts, set staff roles and connect your payment hardware, so counter and online sales draw from one inventory. The extra is available in the calculator, and Plus Transition includes it.

What goes into a bigcommerce to Shopify migration checklist?

Our checklist covers a catalog export, URL crawl, field mapping, trial import, theme rebuild, app replacements, payment and tax settings, test orders, tracking checks, redirect import and a post-launch crawl. You receive the signed-off version at handover, with every item marked.

Can I migrate BigCommerce to Shopify and keep my domain?

Yes, and we recommend it. Keeping the same domain preserves link equity. We lower the DNS time-to-live ahead of time, connect the domain to Shopify at cutover and confirm the certificate is active, so visitors arrive on the new store without noticing a change.

Why hire a Shopify Plus migration guide specialist instead of a general developer?

A general developer may know code but not the replatforming traps: URL classification, option limits, customer group pricing and order imports that do not touch stock. We have launched 450+ Shopify stores since 2015, so these problems are routine for us, not new each time.

What do I need to do before ordering?

Order a package, send read-only BigCommerce access and add us as collaborators on Shopify or let us build in our Partner account. Then list the apps and customer groups you use and name an approver. We send a written audit and scope for approval before any import begins.
