BigCommerce to Shopify Migration Services
Migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify with full product, order, and customer data preservation. We’re a Shopify Partner agency specializing in BigCommerce to Shopify migrations for ecommerce brands that want their storefront, checkout, and retail channels on one integrated platform. As part of our end-to-end Shopify migration services, every BigCommerce project handles every piece: full product catalog with options and modifiers mapped to Shopify’s variant structure, customer accounts and order history, customer groups and B2B pricing, blog and content pages, app replacement with Shopify-native equivalents, SEO redirect mapping for every BigCommerce URL, and theme rebuild on Shopify.
BigCommerce migrations have a specific scope that generic replatforming projects miss: product options, modifiers, and option rules that need careful mapping to Shopify’s variant and metafield structure, customer groups and price lists that translate to Shopify’s customer tagging and B2B tools, brand pages, and BigCommerce’s category URL patterns that need precise redirect mapping. We’ve handled all of it. For the step-by-step framework, read our BigCommerce to Shopify Migration Guide.
“They adapted easily to any feedback and every conversation was very solution-oriented.”

The Advantages of Migrating from BigCommerce to Shopify
BigCommerce is a capable platform, and it likely solved real problems when you chose it. But the trade-offs shift as you grow: the app and theme ecosystem is smaller than Shopify’s, plan tiers step up automatically as your trailing twelve-month sales grow, and BigCommerce’s parent company rebranded to Commerce.com in 2025 as its focus broadened beyond the core storefront platform. Migrating to Shopify unlocks Shop Pay’s one-click checkout (Shopify’s checkout converts up to 36% better than other ecommerce platforms), native Shopify POS for retail, integrated multi-currency selling through Shopify Markets, and the largest app and developer ecosystem in ecommerce. For the cross-platform fundamentals, read our Shopify Migration Guide.
BigCommerce to Shopify Migration Cost
BigCommerce to Shopify migration cost depends on the scope of your project: product catalog size, complexity of options and modifiers, customer and order history volume, customer group and B2B pricing scope, the number of BigCommerce apps that need Shopify replacements, redirect mapping scope, and theme work (our guide to Shopify migration costs breaks down each driver). We send a fixed-fee proposal after a scoping call so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins. Reach out for a free scoping conversation and we will quote your specific migration.
What We Migrate From BigCommerce
Every BigCommerce to Shopify migration we run preserves the full ecommerce data model your business depends on. The typical scope:
Products, Options, and Modifiers
Product titles, descriptions, prices, SKUs, inventory levels, weight and dimensions, images, and SEO metadata. BigCommerce options, modifiers, and option rules are mapped to Shopify’s variant structure, with metafields or line-item customizations where a direct variant equivalent doesn’t exist.
Categories and Brands
BigCommerce categories migrated to Shopify collections with descriptions, images, SEO metadata, and hierarchy preserved through navigation. Brand pages become Shopify vendor collections so brand-level browsing and SEO equity carry over.
Customer Groups and B2B Pricing
BigCommerce customer groups, price lists, and wholesale pricing rules mapped to Shopify customer tags, automatic discounts, or Shopify’s native B2B catalogs, depending on your setup.
Customer Data
Customer profiles, contact information, billing and shipping addresses, and customer tags.
Order History
Customer order history including order date, status, products purchased, billing and shipping information, taxes, totals, and refund records. BigCommerce order statuses mapped to Shopify’s order status structure.
301 Redirects and SEO Preservation
Comprehensive URL mapping from BigCommerce to Shopify with 301 redirects for every product URL, category path, brand page, content page, and blog post. Preserves search rankings and existing inbound links.
Blog Posts and Content
Posts from BigCommerce’s built-in blog migrated to Shopify’s blog system with titles, images, and SEO metadata intact, and every post URL included in the redirect map.
Content Pages
Stand-alone BigCommerce web pages (About Us, Contact, Shipping, FAQ, policies, custom landing pages) migrated to Shopify pages with original SEO metadata preserved.
Product Reviews
Product reviews and ratings from BigCommerce native reviews or your review app (Yotpo, Stamped, Judge.me, others) imported into your Shopify review app of choice.
Gift Certificates
BigCommerce gift certificates converted to Shopify gift cards with outstanding balances preserved, so customers can keep redeeming after launch.
Tax Settings
Tax rates, tax zones, exemption rules, and any region-specific configurations from BigCommerce mapped to Shopify Tax or a third-party tax service.
App Replacement Map
A documented mapping of every BigCommerce app you currently rely on to its Shopify equivalent (or Shopify-native feature). Some BigCommerce apps have direct Shopify app equivalents. Others get replaced by Shopify’s built-in functionality. A few get re-implemented as custom theme code.
Our BigCommerce to Shopify Migration Process
At Soda Web Media, we offer a seamless and secure migration process designed to minimize downtime and maximize results. Here’s how we ensure a smooth transition for your business:
1. Discovery and App Audit
We start with a full audit of your BigCommerce store: product catalog structure, options and modifiers, customer groups and price lists, active apps, payment and shipping configurations, checkout customizations, and integration dependencies. The app audit identifies which BigCommerce apps have Shopify equivalents, which get replaced by native Shopify features, and which need custom development on the Shopify side.
2. URL Mapping and SEO Preparation
Before migrating any data, we build the complete 301 redirect map: product URLs, category paths, brand pages, blog posts, content pages, and any custom URL structures your BigCommerce store uses. This map is the safety net that preserves your SEO equity through the cutover.
3. Data Migration
We import your full BigCommerce data into a Shopify staging environment: products with options and modifiers, customer accounts and groups, order history, gift certificate balances, blog content, content pages, and tax settings. A test migration on a small data subset validates field mapping before the full migration runs.
4. Theme Rebuild and App Setup
We rebuild your storefront on Shopify with a theme that matches your brand. BigCommerce Stencil themes don’t transfer to Shopify, so the storefront gets rebuilt on Shopify’s theme architecture. We also install and configure the Shopify apps that replace your BigCommerce app stack: reviews, loyalty, email marketing, shipping, wholesale, and any custom functionality. See our Shopify theme development services for the full breakdown of theme work.
5. Pre-Launch QA
Full QA pass before cutover: every product, every option combination, every collection, every redirect, every payment method, every shipping zone, and every app integration tested across desktop and mobile. We also run the new store through Core Web Vitals and check for any data integrity issues from the import. For the safety patterns we apply, read How to Avoid Traffic Drops After a Website Redesign.
6. Launch and Post-Migration Support
Cutover happens at a planned low-traffic window, with the 301 redirect map deployed before DNS changes propagate. We monitor organic traffic, conversion rates, and any indexing issues for the first 90 days. For ongoing development and optimization after launch, see our Shopify Support and Maintenance Membership, which most clients move into after a successful migration.
Why Choose Soda Web Media for Your BigCommerce to Shopify Migration?
We know BigCommerce inside out: how options, modifiers, and option rules are structured, how customer groups and price lists drive wholesale pricing, how brand and category URLs are built, and how BigCommerce stores lean on apps for functionality Shopify handles natively. We’ve been migrating ecommerce stores to Shopify since 2017, and BigCommerce projects get the same treatment: every data point mapped to its Shopify equivalent, SEO-safe redirects for BigCommerce’s URL structures, and an app-by-app replacement plan before any work begins.
As a Shopify Partner, Soda Web Media designs, builds, migrates, and grows Shopify stores. For BigCommerce merchants specifically, we deliver a comprehensive app audit identifying Shopify-native replacements for every app in your stack, a full test migration before go-live to validate data integrity, and post-migration monitoring to ensure your new store outperforms what you’re leaving behind. If you’re weighing whether to commit to a custom Shopify build or a premium theme customization, read Beyond the Template: Reasons to Hire Shopify Developers.

BigCommerce to Shopify Migration FAQ
Common questions from BigCommerce store owners considering a Shopify migration. If you don’t see your question here, reach out and we’ll get you an answer.
How long does a BigCommerce to Shopify migration take?
A typical BigCommerce to Shopify migration runs 6 to 12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Smaller catalogs (under 500 products) with a straightforward app stack and a theme customization ship in 6 to 8 weeks. Larger catalogs (5,000+ products), complex option and modifier structures, customer groups with wholesale pricing, or full custom theme builds run 10 to 16 weeks. We scope your specific timeline during discovery so the launch date is predictable.
Will I lose SEO rankings during the BigCommerce to Shopify migration?
Not with a properly executed migration. BigCommerce stores typically hold SEO equity in product pages, category paths, and brand pages, and each of those URL patterns needs its own redirect treatment. We map every existing URL to its Shopify equivalent with 301 redirects, preserve on-page SEO elements (title tags, meta descriptions, H1s, alt text, structured data), and monitor Google Search Console for the first 90 days post-launch. Most stores see a brief 1 to 2 week reindexing dip, then return to baseline traffic. Many stores see organic traffic improve over time as Shopify’s faster page speed compounds with the new structure.
What happens to my BigCommerce apps on Shopify?
Every BigCommerce app gets mapped to one of three outcomes: a Shopify app that does the same job (most apps fall here), a Shopify native feature that replaces the need for the app (saves you a monthly subscription), or custom theme code if neither option fits. We deliver a documented app replacement map as part of the discovery phase so you know exactly which apps you’ll be paying for on Shopify before the migration starts.
How do product options and modifiers migrate to Shopify?
BigCommerce structures product data with options, modifiers, and option rules, while Shopify uses variants and metafields, so this mapping gets dedicated attention in discovery. Standard option sets (size, color, material) convert directly to Shopify variants. Modifiers like text personalization, file uploads, and checkbox add-ons become line-item properties or a product customization app. Products with very large option matrices get restructured with metafields or split products so every combination your customers buy today stays purchasable. You review and sign off on the mapping before the full migration runs.
How do customer groups and B2B pricing migrate?
BigCommerce customer groups and price lists map to Shopify in one of three ways depending on your setup: customer tags with automatic discounts for simple group pricing, a wholesale app for mid-complexity setups, or Shopify’s native B2B catalogs and company accounts for full wholesale operations. Customer accounts migrate fully, but passwords don’t transfer between platforms due to differences in password hashing, so we send password reset emails to all customers as part of the launch sequence.
Will my BigCommerce store have downtime during the migration?
No. We build the new Shopify store in a staging environment while your BigCommerce store stays live and selling. The cutover to Shopify takes minutes, not hours, scheduled during a low-traffic window. Customers never see a downtime message, and orders placed in the final hours of BigCommerce activity get reconciled into the Shopify store post-launch.
How much does a BigCommerce to Shopify migration cost?
Cost depends on catalog size, option and modifier complexity, app stack, customer group and B2B pricing scope, and theme work. We send a fixed-fee proposal after a scoping call so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins. Reach out for a free scoping conversation and we will quote your specific migration.
Are you based in Atlanta, and do you work with clients outside the city?
Yes. Soda Web Media is headquartered in Atlanta, and our BigCommerce to Shopify migration clients are based across the United States. Scoping, app audit, data migration, theme work, redirect setup, QA, and launch all happen remotely via video, screen-share, GitHub, and shared workspace.
