BigCommerce to Shopify Migration

BigCommerce to Shopify Migration

Seamlessly Move from BigCommerce to Shopify with Zilancer

Sometimes, it’s more cost-effective to migrate to a new platform than to keep maintaining an existing one — especially when technology and customer expectations evolve fast. That’s where we come in.

At Zilancer, we make your BigCommerce to Shopify migration smooth, secure, and SEO-friendly. Whether you’re upgrading for performance, flexibility, or scalability, our Shopify-certified experts will ensure the transition is effortless — without data loss or downtime.

Why Move from BigCommerce to Shopify

Many brands move from BigCommerce to Shopify to gain flexibility, reduce maintenance costs, and unlock better sales features. Here’s why:

• 📈 Automatic price scaling in BigCommerce can increase your costs unexpectedly.

• 🎨 Limited free themes and customization flexibility.

• 🧱 Page Builder lacks intuitiveness and ease of use.

• 🏪 No built-in POS integration.

• ✉️ No native email marketing tools.

• ⚙️ Heavy reliance on paid third-party apps.

Migrating isn’t as simple as copy-paste — but with Zilancer’s migration experts, it becomes a well-planned, risk-free process tailored to your business.

Our BigCommerce to Shopify Migration Process

Step 1: Discovery & Strategy Workshop

Before we migrate anything, we take the time to understand your business. Through a technology and strategy workshop, we analyze your existing setup, key systems, and growth goals.

From there, we design a personalized migration roadmap, identifying risks, opportunities, and whether Shopify Plus is the right fit for your scalability needs.

Step 2: Setting Up Your Shopify Store

Once the plan is set, our team sets up your new Shopify store with a strong foundation. We’ll:

• Configure your account and store settings.

• Recommend the most cost-efficient pricing plan.

• Prepare your Shopify dashboard and onboarding so you can hit the ground running.

Step 3: Choosing What to Migrate

Not every piece of data needs to move. We’ll help you identify what’s critical to your store’s performance — including:

• Customer data (profiles, purchase history, contact info).

• Product listings (details, variants, images, SEO data).

• Order history and transaction data.

By focusing on what matters most, we ensure a clean, optimized transfer.

Step 4: Professional Data Export & Import

Our team manages a precise migration workflow — securely exporting your BigCommerce data and importing it to Shopify. Every product, page, and customer record is double-checked for accuracy.

Step 5: Review & Quality Assurance

Once the migration is complete, we review everything — from products and orders to URLs and redirects. Any discrepancies are fixed immediately to ensure a flawless store launch.

Step 6: Beyond Migration — Ongoing Advisory & Support

At Zilancer, our job doesn’t end when your data is moved. We stay with you beyond migration to ensure your new Shopify store runs perfectly.

Our post-migration support includes:

• Integration of essential apps and tools.

• Technical adjustments and training.

• Continuous performance monitoring and advice for scaling.

Your success on Shopify is our long-term priority.

Why Shopify Outperforms BigCommerce

Both Shopify and BigCommerce are strong platforms — but Shopify offers more freedom, scalability, and user-friendliness.

1. Market Share & Growth

Shopify powers over 18% of global e-commerce websites, while BigCommerce powers around 3%. The growth curve is heavily in Shopify’s favor, proving its dominance and innovation.

2. Ease of Use

Shopify is famously intuitive. Its drag-and-drop editor, seamless onboarding, and code-free customization make it ideal even for beginners. In contrast, BigCommerce often requires technical expertise for setup and management.

3. Customization

Shopify offers 70+ professional, responsive themes and thousands of apps that let you design freely — no coding required. With BigCommerce, customization is often more limited and developer-dependent.

4. Customer Support

Shopify provides 24/7 expert support, instant access to knowledge bases, and a huge user community. Help is always a click away.

5. Pricing & Scalability

While pricing plans for both platforms are similar (Shopify from $32 to $399/month, BigCommerce from $39 to $399/month), Shopify gives you more flexibility to scale and access to Shopify Plus for enterprise-level customization.

Key Things to Know Before Migrating

1. Identify Critical Integrations & Data

Before migration, list all essential systems (ERP, CRM, inventory, etc.) and confirm compatible alternatives in Shopify’s ecosystem. Prioritize customer, product, and order data to ensure operational continuity.

2. Choose the Right Time

Avoid high-traffic periods like Black Friday. Plan your migration during slower months to minimize impact and maintain sales flow.

3. Decide Your Migration Method

There are three main options:

• Manual migration – Time-consuming and prone to errors.

• Automated tools – Fast but limited in customization and data mapping.

• Assisted migration (recommended) – With Zilancer handling everything, you save time and avoid risk.
