LET'S DISCUSS
We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
Ethan Parker
Founder of Elite Academy
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
James Whitmore
Head of Marketing of Lumen Outdoor
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

We rebuild the storefront instead of forcing an import.

We tell you which BigCommerce features become Shopify features or apps.
Launch tested
Payments, shipping and taxes are tested before go-live.
Scoped fairly

08Overview
What does a BigCommerce to Shopify migration actually involve, and will I lose my SEO rankings?
BigCommerce themes don't carry over to Shopify's Liquid, and complex product modifiers often need rebuilding, so we rebuild rather than force an import. SEO risk mostly comes down to execution, broken redirects and lost metadata cause ranking drops, not the migration itself, so we map a 301 for every existing URL before go-live. Pricing starts from $4,999 for a standard catalog, larger stores quoted after a scope call.

Who it's for
BigCommerce store owners with complex product modifiers or configurable options
You're not sure your product options map cleanly to Shopify's variant structure.
Businesses worried about losing SEO rankings during the move
Years of ranking history on BigCommerce URLs feels too risky to touch.
Stores with reviews, loyalty points, gift certificates, or wishlists
You know these don't migrate automatically and need a plan for each one.
Businesses that want the theme rebuilt properly, not auto-imported
You know BigCommerce themes don't just carry over to Liquid.
Teams with payment gateways, tax setups, or other integrations tied to BigCommerce
You need those reconnected and working before go-live, not after.
Not a fit for
You're not on BigCommerce specifically. Our Magento, WooCommerce, Squarespace, or Wix to Shopify migration pages cover those platforms, or our general Shopify Migration Services page if you're unsure.
You're running a large enterprise catalog and need the Shopify Plus-specific migration path. Our Shopify Plus Migration Services covers that.
You want a deep SEO-specific engagement beyond what's bundled into a standard migration. Our SEO Migration Services covers that as a standalone specialist add-on.

How much does it cost to migrate BigCommerce to Shopify?
Starts from $4,999 for a standard catalog. Larger catalogs, complex product modifiers, or ERP integrations push cost up, typically into the $10,000 to $30,000 range, quoted after we see your store.
How long does a BigCommerce to Shopify migration take?
4 to 8 weeks for a standard store. More complex stores with heavy customization or ERP/CRM sync can run 8 to 12+ weeks.
Will I lose SEO rankings when moving from BigCommerce to Shopify?
Not from the migration itself. Ranking drops usually come from broken redirects, lost metadata, or changed URL structure, all things we plan for upfront with a full 301 redirect map before go-live.
How do you map 301 redirects for every URL?
We list every existing URL from your BigCommerce site and its corresponding Shopify destination in a full mapping sheet, then implement the redirects in bulk before launch so nothing 404s.
Which data moves: products, customers, orders, reviews and subscriptions?
Products, customer accounts, and order history migrate directly. Reviews, loyalty points, gift certificates, and wishlists don't move automatically, so we plan a re-import or replacement app for each before go-live. Customer passwords don't transfer either, shoppers reset theirs on first login.
Do you rebuild the theme or migrate the design?
We rebuild it. BigCommerce themes are built for a different templating system and don't transfer to Shopify's Liquid, so we recreate your design and functionality natively rather than forcing an import.
How do you re-set up payment gateways, apps and integrations?
We reconnect your payment providers, rebuild or replace BigCommerce apps with Shopify equivalents, and reconfigure any ERP, CRM, or tax integrations before go-live.
What does post-migration QA and go-live support include?
Full QA across checkout, payment processing, redirects, and data accuracy before launch, plus 30 days of support after go-live to catch anything that surfaces once real traffic hits.
