What we migrate

Migration Services

Three kinds of migration, usually combined: moving to a new platform, moving the data itself, and moving the website (domain, URLs, HTTPS, architecture). Each is scoped, priced, and run by the same engineers, with your own account access throughout.

  • Platform Migration

    The move from the platform that is limiting you to the one that fits: BigCommerce, Shopify and Shopify Plus, Magento and Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce, or a headless setup. Platform selection comes first, from your catalog, integrations, and growth plan; see BigCommerce, Shopify, Magento, and WooCommerce store migrations.

  • Data Migration

    Customer accounts and order history, products with images, attributes, options, and SKUs, categories, pricing and inventory, reviews, blog and page content, SEO data, and third-party API workflows, exported, restructured, de-duplicated, archived, imported, and verified against the source; by script with validation reports at scale. See BigCommerce, Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, and WordPress data migration.

  • Website & Domain Migration

    Domain changes, URL restructuring, HTTP to HTTPS, merging stores, and new site architecture, planned, prepped, tested, launched, and followed up, with the redirect map and Search Console change-of-address handled so rankings follow the site.

  • SEO Migration & Redirect Mapping

    A full crawl and analytics baseline, a page-to-page 301 map for every product, category, page, post, image, and filter URL, metadata and structured data parity, and thirty days of monitoring; the discipline that separates stores that keep their traffic from the ones that lose a quarter of it. Run with our SEO team.

  • Integrations & Custom Features

    ERP, accounting, and inventory connectors, email and SMS platforms, search, subscriptions, POS, shopping feeds, and custom apps rebuilt or reconnected against the new platform's APIs, and the custom features you depend on recreated on the new model; see custom development and our technology partners.

  • Design: Rebuild, Refresh, or Redesign

    The current design rebuilt to match on the new theme system, refreshed, or fully redesigned by our design team, with speed and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility verified; a migration should leave the store faster than it found it.

  • B2B & Multi-Store Migration

    Customer groups, price lists, quotes, net terms, dealer portals, and multiple storefronts or brands moved to the destination's B2B and multi-store model (BigCommerce B2B Edition and multi-storefront, Shopify B2B and markets, Magento websites); see B2B development.

  • Migration to Headless

    From any themed store to a Catalyst, Hydrogen, or Next.js storefront on BigCommerce or Shopify, with a headless CMS for content, as in our Byourbed and Springbok migrations; see headless commerce.

  • Free Migration Off BigCommerce

    Standard catalog, customer, and order migrations off BigCommerce are free with a new store build or a twelve-month SEO, PPC, or support program; same engineers, same redirect map, same protection. See the offer and ask about eligibility.

Every path we migrate

Migration Paths: From Your Platform to the One That Fits

Sixteen paths, from BigCommerce, Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, or Volusion to BigCommerce, Shopify, Magento, or WooCommerce, each with its own page and its own playbook for data, options, URLs, and apps. Pick your row and column, or run the free migration audit to get the task list for your pair.

Coming from somewhere else? Wix, Squarespace, PrestaShop, OpenCart, 3dcart, or a custom build: we migrate from those too. Start with the audit and choose "another platform".

Going headless? A Catalyst, Hydrogen, or Next.js front end on BigCommerce or Shopify is covered on the headless commerce page.

Why migrations lose traffic

Where Replatforming Goes Wrong, and How We Run It Differently

Across the 2026 studies, migrations handled as a data transfer lose 20 to 40 percent of their organic traffic and take six to twelve months to recover, almost always from redirects that were skipped or sent to the homepage, content and metadata that changed, and integrations nobody inventoried. Stores that run the migration as an SEO project see a dip of a few weeks and full recovery. Every store is different and something unexpected always turns up, which is exactly why the plan comes before the export.

  • Baseline Before Anything Moves

    A full crawl, Search Console and analytics by landing page, speed scores, and a feature and app inventory, so the migration is measured against facts, not memory.

  • One-to-One Redirects, Tested

    Every URL mapped to its new address, page to page, loaded and tested on staging before launch; nothing redirects to the homepage, and image and filter URLs are included.

  • Parity, Then Improvement

    Titles, descriptions, canonicals, product and review schema, headings, and internal links carried over exactly first; improvements come after rankings are confirmed stable.

  • Data Validated by Script

    Imports run against the API with validation reports per batch and re-run until counts, prices, images, and customer links match the source; order numbers offset, balances reconciled to the cent.

  • Integrations First, Not Last

    ERP connectors, subscriptions, and custom apps are the highest-risk items, so they are scoped and rebuilt early and cut over with a reconciliation on launch day.

  • Thirty Days of Watching

    Crawl errors, 404s, rankings, speed, and conversion checked daily after launch against the baseline, with fixes applied as they appear and the old store kept read-only for reference.

Every migration

Our Migration Standards

Whatever the platform pair or catalog size, these hold on every project:

  • A written migration plan, redirect strategy, and fixed price before any data is exported
  • Your accounts, your data: we work in platforms you own, with access you control, and hand everything over at the end
  • Products, customers, orders, content, reviews, and SEO data moved; passwords reset through a branded campaign
  • Page-to-page 301 redirects for every URL, tested before launch and verified within minutes of go-live
  • Metadata, structured data, and internal links carried over template by template
  • Integrations and custom features documented, rebuilt, and tested with real data before cutover
  • Staging QA by two people and a written launch checklist with owners and times
  • Core Web Vitals and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility verified; the new store launches faster than the old one
  • Thirty days of post-launch monitoring against the pre-migration baseline, included

Platforms We Migrate Stores To

We build, market, and support stores on every one of these, so the migration is planned by people who will live with the result; see development by platform.

How a Migration Runs

Six steps, the same on every platform pair, from the first crawl to the thirtieth day after launch. The audit and the export happen before any build so the plan is made on facts; the import is validated by script; the launch is a checklist, not a leap; and the baseline from step one is the scorecard at the end. Most catalog-and-redirects migrations run four to eight weeks; add a redesign or integrations and the plan says so up front.

  • Audit & Plan

    The free audit or a full discovery: crawl, baseline, inventory, platform fit, and a written plan with a fixed price and timeline.

  • Export & Restructure

    Every data element exported (content, blog, reviews, products, customers, orders, SEO data), cleaned of duplicates and obsolete records, and archived securely before anything is imported.

  • Build the New Store

    Theme rebuilt, refreshed, or redesigned; integrations and custom features rebuilt against the new APIs; B2B, shipping, tax, and payments configured on staging.

  • Import & Validate

    Scripted imports with validation per batch; URL map and redirects loaded; metadata and schema parity checked template by template.

  • Test & Launch

    Staging QA, end-to-end test orders, the launch checklist, low-TTL DNS cutover, SSL, and redirect verification within minutes of go-live.

  • Monitor & Grow

    Thirty days of daily checks against the baseline, bugs fixed as they surface, then SEO, marketing, and support when you want the new store to keep gaining.

eCommerce Migration Questions, Answered

When to migrate, what moves, what it costs, and what happens to SEO.

When is it time to migrate platforms?

When the platform limits the business: features you cannot add, speed you cannot fix, fees that grow with revenue, integrations that fight you, or a theme system your team cannot maintain. The usual trigger is growth; the usual mistake is waiting until the limits cost sales. The free audit gives you the task list for your pair so you can judge the effort before committing.

Which platforms do you migrate between?

From BigCommerce, Shopify and Shopify Plus, Magento and Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce and WordPress, or Volusion, to BigCommerce, Shopify, Magento, or WooCommerce: sixteen paths, each with its own page in the matrix above. We also migrate from Wix, Squarespace, PrestaShop, OpenCart, 3dcart, and custom builds, and to headless storefronts on BigCommerce or Shopify.

What data moves in a migration?

Products with images, attributes, options, SKUs, pricing, and inventory; categories; customer accounts and addresses; order history with line items and statuses; customer groups and price lists; reviews; blog posts and pages; SEO metadata; and the third-party workflows connected to the store. Passwords cannot move between platforms, so customers set a new one on first login; saved cards and subscription tokens move only with the payment processor's cooperation, which we arrange.

Will we lose SEO rankings?

Not when the migration is run as an SEO project. The 2026 studies put the loss for poorly executed migrations at 20 to 40 percent of organic traffic with six to twelve months to recover; the cause is almost always missing or lazy redirects, changed content, and lost internal links. With one-to-one redirects, metadata and schema parity, and thirty days of monitoring, stores typically see a small dip for two to four weeks and full recovery.

How long does an eCommerce migration take?

A catalog-and-redirects migration with the same design runs four to eight weeks; a refresh or redesign brings most projects to ten to sixteen weeks; large catalogs, ERP connectors, subscriptions, or multiple storefronts extend it to three to six months. We phase launches when a date is fixed: data, SEO parity, and checkout first, the rest second.

How much does a migration cost?

Industry ranges in 2026 run roughly $10,000 to $50,000 for a straightforward store move and $50,000 to $250,000 for mid-market migrations with custom data and integrations; the platform license is only a fraction of the total, with implementation, integrations, and data migration the rest. We quote a fixed price after the plan, and standard migrations off BigCommerce are free with a new build or a twelve-month program.

Can you migrate our custom features and integrations?

Yes. Custom features are documented and rebuilt on the new platform's model (apps, metafields, or custom code), and integrations (ERP, email, search, subscriptions, POS, feeds) are reconnected or rebuilt against the new APIs and tested with real data before cutover. Nothing is assumed to port; the inventory decides what is kept, replaced, or retired.

Do we keep selling during the migration?

Yes. The new store is built and loaded on staging while the old one keeps trading; a final delta sync of orders and customers runs at cutover, and the old store stays in read-only mode afterward for reference. Downtime at launch is minutes, not days.

What is the difference between platform, data, and website migration?

Platform migration moves the store to a new system; data migration moves the records (products, customers, orders, content) accurately; website migration changes the site itself (domain, URLs, HTTPS, merged sites, architecture). Most projects combine all three, and the plan treats them as one program with one redirect map.

What happens after launch?

Thirty days of daily monitoring of crawl errors, 404s, rankings, speed, and conversion against the pre-migration baseline, bugs fixed as they appear, and a handover of documentation and credentials. Many clients keep us on for SEO, marketing, or a support plan, which is how a migration turns into growth rather than a one-time project.
