BigCommerce and Shopify differ in the details that matter
Product options, modifiers, customer groups, price lists, channels, scripts, and integration ownership need a defined target rather than a direct field copy.
Options & modifiers
Products, variants, modifier choices, custom fields, rules, bundles, categories, pricing, inventory, and media are mapped into Shopify.
Customers & B2B
Customer groups, company requirements, price lists, purchasing workflows, accounts, and order history are assessed against Shopify capabilities.
Channels & integrations
ERP, PIM, marketplaces, payments, shipping, tax, search, marketing, scripts, and APIs are reconnected with clear ownership.
How BigCommerce maps into Shopify
We inventory products, variants, option sets, modifiers, rules, custom fields, brands, categories, bundles, related products, price data, stock, and media. Each structure receives a defined Shopify destination and test case.
Customer profiles, addresses, groups, company relationships, price lists, tax treatment, purchasing roles, quotes, payment terms, and order history are mapped to the appropriate Shopify or Shopify Plus model.
Stencil or headless storefront behavior, page content, widgets, scripts, consent, analytics, promotions, and search merchandising are reviewed before the Shopify theme and extension scope is finalized.
Domains, languages, currencies, channels, locations, fulfillment, shipping, tax, and payment behavior are compared with the planned Shopify store, Markets, catalogs, and operational setup.
ERP, PIM, WMS, CRM, marketplaces, tax, payments, search, loyalty, reviews, subscriptions, and marketing integrations are adapted around Shopify APIs and events.
Our BigCommerce migration process
1. Feature and data inventory
We document the catalog, customers, orders, content, channels, scripts, apps, APIs, B2B needs, and operational workflows.
2. Shopify target mapping
Every important BigCommerce structure and workflow is assigned to a Shopify feature, app, extension, integration, or retirement decision.
3. Test imports and reconciliation
Representative data is transformed and checked for counts, relationships, prices, inventory, accounts, orders, content, and exceptions.
4. Storefront and stack rebuild
We deliver the Shopify storefront, configuration, apps, extensions, tracking, and integrations required to trade.
5. UAT and cutover rehearsal
Customer journeys, B2B workflows, operations, SEO, analytics, and the final sync sequence are validated with named owners.
6. Launch and monitoring
The final delta, DNS, redirects, feeds, tracking, integrations, and support coverage are coordinated and monitored.
Migration decisions you can trace
Moving between managed platforms is still a replatform, not a theme swap. We focus discovery on the BigCommerce features and integrations that affect revenue, operations, customer experience, and reporting.

BigCommerce to Shopify Migration FAQ
Yes, but the target model depends on how each option affects SKU, inventory, price, media, and the buying journey. We map those requirements into Shopify variants, line-item properties, metafields, apps, or custom logic.
They can be mapped, but the right Shopify approach depends on whether the requirement is DTC segmentation, B2B company pricing, catalogs, discounts, or another commercial rule. We define that model during discovery.
Yes, where the available source data and Shopify APIs support the necessary fields. We reconcile record counts and document transformed or unsupported fields.
We inventory the business purpose of each app, storefront script, and integration, then select a Shopify feature, replacement app, extension, middleware service, or retirement decision.
Rehearsal imports establish timing and exceptions. The cutover plan then defines the freeze window, final customer and order delta, catalog changes, integration switching, and validation ownership.
We crawl indexable product, category, brand, and content URLs, preserve useful content and metadata, map permanent redirects, validate canonicals and internal links, and monitor indexing after launch.
Migration risk assessment
What we review before your BigCommerce migration
We compare the live BigCommerce implementation with the proposed Shopify setup and expose the gaps before delivery starts.
Customer and B2B needs
Groups, companies, price lists, accounts, quotes, terms, taxes, and order history are assessed.
Storefront and stack
Scripts, apps, channels, APIs, integrations, analytics, feeds, and operational tools are documented.

Test imports, content freeze, final delta, domain, redirects, QA, and launch ownership are planned.
You receive a scoped migration approach, major risks, dependencies, and the decisions needed before implementation.
