Migration process
How we migrate BigCommerce to Shopify
BigCommerce audit & export
Inventory of products, options, modifiers, categories, brands, customer groups, orders, apps and integrations in your BigCommerce shop, plus an SEO baseline crawl of every URL.
Data mapping & redirects
Export from BigCommerce, mapping to Shopify objects and a 301 redirect per BigCommerce URL. Products and categories sit directly under the root in BigCommerce, so every URL gets a new address.
Theme build & app replacement
Custom Shopify theme replacing your Stencil theme, with a Shopify equivalent for every BigCommerce app: payments, shipping, reviews, feeds. Decided per app up front: native, app or custom work.
ERP, payments & fulfilment
Accounting, ERP, fulfilment, payments and marketplaces reconnected to Shopify, with proven integrations for European systems and custom work through the GraphQL Admin API.
Phased launch & monitoring
Test import, freeze window on product data, final data sync, DNS switch and redirect activation in one moment. Launch engineer on standby for 48 hours, 90 days of GSC monitoring.
BigCommerce and Shopify look alike, but under the hood the data model, URL structure and themes differ. We translate every part to its Shopify equivalent, so the switch is invisible to your customers and an improvement for your team.
- 01
Full export from BigCommerce
We pull products, categories, brands, customers and orders from BigCommerce through the API and exports, including images and SEO fields. A test import shows up front how everything lands in Shopify.
- 02
Options and modifiers without simplification
BigCommerce allows a maximum of 600 variants per product; Shopify supports 2,048. Options become variants, modifiers such as text fields and engravings become input fields on the product page, so your product structure stays complete.
- 03
BigCommerce URLs redirected one to one
BigCommerce places products and categories directly under the root, Shopify uses fixed paths such as /products/ and /collections/. Per URL we create a 301 redirect, including brand pages, blog and URLs from Google Search Console.
- 04
Customers, customer groups and order history
Customer accounts, customer groups and the complete order history are imported into Shopify, with the link between customer and order intact. Passwords cannot come along; on Shopify customers sign in with a one-time code by email.
- 05
A Shopify equivalent for every BigCommerce app
Per app we decide up front: replace with a Shopify feature, with an app, or rebuild as custom work. Mollie, Sendcloud, Picqer, Exact Online, Channable, Klaviyo and bol.com all have proven integrations on Shopify.
- 06
Stencil theme becomes a Shopify theme
A Stencil theme cannot be carried over, so we rebuild the design as a Shopify theme: faster, based on your conversion data and with sections your team manages itself.
- 07
Cutover without downtime
The new shop is built and tested entirely alongside the existing one. Freeze window, final data sync, DNS switch and redirects are switched in one moment. Launch engineer on standby for 48 hours, 90 days of GSC monitoring.

Frequently asked questions about BigCommerce to Shopify migration
BigCommerce and Shopify are both hosted platforms, but the ecosystems differ strongly. Shopify has a much broader range of apps, more integrations with European systems such as Exact Online, Picqer and bol.com, and more specialists. Add to that a fast checkout, Markets for international sales and up to 2,048 variants per product.
First an audit of your BigCommerce shop: products, options, modifiers, customers, orders, apps and integrations. Then we map all data and URLs to Shopify, build the theme, transfer integrations and run a test import. The cutover is phased with a freeze window and a DNS switch in one moment.
BigCommerce places products and categories directly under the root of your domain; Shopify uses fixed paths such as /products/ and /collections/. So every URL changes. We map every URL and turn that into 301 redirects, including brand pages, blog and URLs from Google Search Console. Meta titles, descriptions and canonicals come along.
Products with options, variants and images, categories, brands, customers and customer groups, the complete order history, discount codes, reviews and blog articles. Custom fields land as metafields. A test import shows you up front how everything ends up in Shopify.
A BigCommerce to Shopify migration starts at 15,000 euros for a premium theme build with data migration and redirects. Custom work starts at 25,000 euros, a migration to Shopify Plus at 35,000 euros. Fixed price up front, no open ends.
An average BigCommerce migration takes 6 to 10 weeks, from audit to go-live. Larger shops with multiple storefronts, languages, B2B or ERP integrations take 10 to 14 weeks. You get a week-by-week schedule up front.
BigCommerce moves you to a more expensive plan automatically once your online sales over twelve months pass a threshold. Shopify's standard plans have no such sales limit: you choose a plan based on the features you need. Which plan fits you is something we determine in the audit.
Almost always. Shopify's App Store is many times larger than BigCommerce's, and Mollie, Sendcloud, Picqer, Exact Online, Channable and Klaviyo all have proven integrations there. Per app we decide up front: replace with a Shopify feature, with an app, or rebuild as custom work.
Yes. Multiple countries, languages and currencies are set up on Shopify with Markets, with their own domains or subfolders and prices per market. For brands or channels that need a fully separate shop, we work on Shopify Plus with expansion stores under one licence.
