Migrate BigCommerce to Shopify

- All data & rankings preserved
- Fixed price, no hidden costs
- Go-live in Ø 21 days
Why switch from BigCommerce to Shopify?
BigCommerce is a hosted SaaS just like Shopify, but in day-to-day use many merchants hit the same limits: BigCommerce automatically bumps your plan as soon as you cross a sales threshold, the app and theme ecosystem is much smaller, and the high-converting Shop Pay checkout only exists on Shopify.
BigCommerce vs. Shopify
A direct comparison of both platforms
| Criterion | Shopify | BigCommerce | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost efficiency | BigCommerce saves on transaction fees but automatically bumps your plan at sales thresholds; Shopify stays predictable with Shopify Payments. | ||
| Scalability | Both scale to enterprise – Shopify without forced tier jumps, BigCommerce with size-based plan upgrades. | ||
| Ease of use | Shopify has a cleaner, immediately usable admin, while BigCommerce is powerful but more technical. | ||
| Low maintenance | Both are hosted and low-maintenance, but BigCommerce Stencil theme upkeep is more developer-heavy. | ||
| Content management | On par for standard content – Shopify wins with the larger app ecosystem for storytelling. | ||
| Time to market | Shopify goes live in days, while BigCommerce usually takes longer due to more technical theming. |

Frequently Asked Questions about BigCommerce Migration

What happens to my customer groups and price lists (B2B)?
Technical details, explained transparently
Different URL structure and redirects
BigCommerce uses its own URL logic for categories and products. Without clean redirects, rankings and internal links break.
We crawl your entire shop, create a complete redirect map, and set a clean 301 redirect from every URL to its Shopify counterpart.
Complex product options and rules
BigCommerce allows very flexible option sets with rules and price adjustments that cannot be mapped 1:1 to Shopify's variant model.
We map simple options directly to Shopify variants and solve complex rules via metafields or specialized options apps like Infinite Options.
Customer groups and price lists (B2B)
Native customer groups and price lists for B2B and wholesale are a core feature of many BigCommerce shops and are built differently in Shopify.
We move them to Shopify B2B (on Shopify Plus) or established wholesale apps so customer-specific prices and protected areas are preserved.
Stencil theme and multi-storefront
Your Stencil theme and any multi-storefronts cannot be carried over directly and must be rebuilt on Shopify.
We rebuild your design as a fast Online Store 2.0 theme and map multiple storefronts via Shopify Markets, including languages and currencies.
| BigCommerce Plugin | Shopify equivalent |
|---|---|
| Native BigCommerce Reviews | Judge.me / Yotpo Reviews incl. import |
