What you get

What a well-run migration gives you.

Everything that could break is mapped, tested and signed off before launch day.

01

Keep the traffic you earned

Every indexed URL is redirected to its new home, so your rankings and backlinks carry over.

02

Every order and customer comes with you

Products, customers, orders and reviews are migrated and tested three times before launch.

03

Search visibility protected, or improved

Titles, meta descriptions, structured data and internal links carried across, and often improved.

04

Your systems still talk to each other

ERP, 3PL, payments and marketing tools reconnected and tested end to end.

05

A faster store that converts better

A new, conversion-focused Shopify theme your team can manage themselves.

06

Peace of mind after launch

Daily checks on indexing, errors and revenue for the first 30 days.

What we fix

What usually goes wrong, and how we prevent it.

It is rarely the platform itself. It is the details nobody mapped before launch.

  1. Old URLs that go nowhere. Product, category and blog URLs change, and without a complete redirect map, rankings and backlinks disappear.
  2. History that does not come across. Customer accounts, order history, reviews and subscriptions need testing, not a one-off import.
  3. Different URL and category structures. BigCommerce category paths and product options map differently to Shopify collections and variants.
Why it pays off

Shopify costs less to run and is faster to change.

No hosting to manage, no security patches, and a team that can launch pages without a developer.

  • Lower total cost of ownership
  • Faster site and better conversion
  • Your team moves faster day to day
  • Access to Shopify's app and checkout ecosystem
How it works

A typical nine-week migration.

Weeks 1 to 2

Audit and map

URL inventory, data audit, integrations list and the redirect plan.

Weeks 2 to 6

Build and migrate

Theme build alongside repeated data migrations on a staging store.

Weeks 6 to 8

Test everything

Redirects, checkout, integrations and tracking tested against a signed-off checklist.

Week 9

Launch and watch

Out-of-hours cutover, redirects live and index coverage monitored daily.

Still deciding?

The questions brands ask us most before getting started.

Will we lose SEO rankings moving from BigCommerce to Shopify?

Not if the migration is planned properly. A complete redirect map, matching or improved page content and structured data, and close monitoring after launch protect rankings. Short-term movement is normal; lasting losses usually come from missed redirects.

How long does a BigCommerce to Shopify migration take?

Most migrations take around two to three months, depending on catalogue size, integrations and design scope. We confirm the timeline after the audit.

Can customer passwords and order history be migrated?

Order history and customer records can be migrated. Passwords cannot be transferred for security reasons, so customers are invited to reactivate their accounts, which we handle with a planned email sequence.

Why move from BigCommerce to Shopify?

Brands usually move for Shopify's larger app ecosystem, faster checkout, stronger native features like Markets and Shop Pay, and a bigger pool of partners and developers.
