BigCommerce to Shopify migration, fast and SEO-safe
Get Shopify’s app ecosystem, themes and Shop Pay conversion rates. We migrate your BigCommerce catalogue, customers and orders with every URL redirected.
Why move from BigCommerce to Shopify?
BigCommerce is a capable SaaS platform, yet many merchants move to Shopify for its larger app and theme ecosystem, a faster checkout with Shop Pay, and the bigger pool of developers and partners around it.
Our BigCommerce to Shopify migration moves products with modifiers and option sets, customer groups, orders, gift certificates and blog posts. Because both platforms are hosted, the switch is quick, and we make sure every product and category URL is redirected so your search traffic carries straight over.
- Plan upgrades triggered by online sales thresholds
- Smaller app and theme ecosystem
- Wanting Shop Pay and Shopify’s checkout conversion
- Easier hiring of Shopify developers and agencies
BigCommerce migration challenges we solve
Options, modifiers and rules
BigCommerce option sets, modifiers and pricing rules are rebuilt as Shopify variants, line-item properties or product option apps.
Customer groups and price lists
Group pricing moves to Shopify discounts, customer tags or B2B catalogues on Shopify Plus.
URL differences
BigCommerce category and product URLs differ from Shopify’s /collections and /products structure, so each gets a precise 301 redirect.
Stencil theme to Shopify theme
Your Stencil design is recreated on an Online Store 2.0 theme, or improved with a conversion-focused redesign.

Frequently asked questions
Can you migrate BigCommerce product options and modifiers?
Yes. Variant options become Shopify variants, while modifiers like text fields or add-ons are handled with line-item properties or a product options app.
Will my BigCommerce blog move over?
Yes. Blog posts, images, authors and tags move to Shopify blogs, and old blog URLs are redirected.
What happens to customer groups?
Customer groups become tags with automatic discounts on Shopify, or B2B catalogues and price lists on Shopify Plus.
Do I need to rebuild my theme?
Stencil themes cannot run on Shopify, so the design is rebuilt on a Shopify theme. We can match your current look closely or improve it during the move.
How long does BigCommerce to Shopify take?
Most stores launch within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on catalogue size, custom features and design work.
