BIGCOMMERCE TO SHOPIFY MIGRATION SERVICESBigCommerce to Shopify
Replatform your BigCommerce store to Shopify or Shopify Plus for a bigger app ecosystem, a high-converting checkout and an easier day-to-day for your team — with products, customers, orders and rankings carried over.
(Why brands move from BigCommerce)
Bigger ecosystem. Simpler running.
BigCommerce and Shopify are both hosted platforms, so this move is less about servers and more about the tools, apps and checkout around your store.
- 01
The largest app ecosystem
Thousands of apps and agencies built around Shopify, so most needs have a ready-made answer.
- 02
Shop Pay and Shopify Checkout
A checkout and accelerated wallet used across millions of stores, kept up to date for you.
- 03
Easier for your team
Theme editor, sections and Shopify Flow let marketing and operations change things without tickets.
- 04
Plus when you need it
Checkout customization, unlimited B2B catalogs and expansion stores on Shopify Plus.

(Search rankings)
Keep your Google rankings
BigCommerce lets you set custom URLs for products and categories; Shopify uses /products/ and /collections/ paths. Each changed URL gets a 301 redirect so traffic and backlinks carry over.
We crawl the live store, map every indexed URL, import and test redirects before launch, and track rankings and crawl errors for the first month.
- Crawl of every live URL, including products, collections, blog posts, filtered pages and PDFs
- One-to-one 301 redirect for every URL that has traffic or backlinks
- Page titles, meta descriptions, alt text and headings carried over
- Structured data (Product, Breadcrumb, Article) rebuilt on the new theme
- XML sitemap submitted in Google Search Console on launch day
- Rankings, 404s and crawl errors watched daily for the first 30 days

(How long it takes)
Typical timelines
Every project is scoped after a free audit. These ranges are typical, not promises.

- MID-SIZE6–10 weeks1,000–20,000 products, custom theme, ERP or 3PL link
- ENTERPRISE3–6 monthsLarge catalog, B2B, multiple stores or markets, several integrations
(FAQ)
Good
questions
Small stores usually take 4–6 weeks, mid-size stores 6–10 weeks and enterprise builds 3–6 months. B2B price lists, multi-storefront and ERP integrations add time. We confirm after the audit.
Variant options become Shopify variants. Modifier options such as engraving text or add-on prices move to line item properties or a product options app, so customers see the same choices.
Yes. Customer groups and price lists become Shopify B2B catalogs. Standard Shopify plans allow up to 3 catalogs; Shopify Plus allows unlimited catalogs assigned to each company location.
Not with a full redirect map. We redirect every indexed URL, carry over metadata and monitor Search Console after launch.
It depends on catalog size, options complexity, integrations and design. You get a fixed-scope quote after a free consultation.
