BigCommerce to Shopify Migration Agency

A migration will change some of your URL structure, so SEO needs to be planned rather than left until launch. We map existing URLs to their new Shopify equivalents, implement 301 redirects, migrate important metadata and content, and identify high-value pages that need particular attention. The aim is to preserve as much existing organic visibility and authority as possible.

Typically, we can migrate products, variants, collections or categories, customers, orders and relevant content. Exactly what should move depends on your existing store and how useful that historical data will be in Shopify. We review this during the migration audit rather than automatically transferring years of unnecessary data.

Usually, but we don't automatically recreate everything exactly as it is. We review your existing functionality, integrations and custom development to understand what the business actually needs. We can then determine whether Shopify handles it natively, an app is appropriate, or custom Shopify development is required. A migration is often a good opportunity to simplify the existing setup.

We audit the systems connected to your store, such as ERP, fulfilment, reviews, email marketing, subscriptions, search and reporting. Some can integrate directly with Shopify, while others may need a different app, integration or approach. We map those dependencies before development begins so there aren't nasty surprises at launch.

Yes. Your existing BigCommerce store normally continues trading while the new Shopify store is being built and tested. We plan the final data sync, domain changes and launch carefully to minimise disruption, with the switch taking place only once the new store is ready.

It depends on the size and complexity of the store rather than simply the number of products. Data volume, custom functionality, integrations, international requirements, design changes and SEO considerations can all affect the timeline. We start with a migration audit so we can establish the scope, risks and realistic timescale before committing to the full project.

The platforms can look similar on the surface, but differences in structure, apps and flexibility can affect the migration. Experience helps make sure the move creates a better setup rather than simply recreating what you already had.
