What a migration audit covers

Six Places a Migration Goes Wrong

Every plan the tool builds is organized around the six phases where we have seen migrations lose money, in order.

  1. 1

    Discovery

    The crawl, the analytics baseline, and the feature and app inventory. Skipped most often, and the reason the other five go wrong.

  2. 2

    Data

    Products, options, images, customers, orders, groups, and balances mapped field by field and validated against the source, by script at scale.

  3. 3

    SEO

    A page-to-page redirect map, metadata and schema parity, the pages that earn organic revenue protected and monitored.

  4. 4

    Design

    Rebuild, refresh, or redesign on the new theme system, with speed and accessibility verified; a migration should leave the store faster.

  5. 5

    Integrations

    ERP, email, search, subscriptions, POS, feeds, and custom code reconnected or rebuilt against the new APIs, the riskiest items first.

  6. 6

    Commerce and launch

    B2B, shipping, tax, payments, and multi-store rebuilt and test-charged; staging QA, cutover, and thirty days of monitoring against the baseline.

Migration Paths We Run Most

Each path has its own playbook and its own page; the audit above tells you which cautions apply to yours. We also offer a free migration off BigCommerce with a new build or program.

Why the plan matters

Migrations Fail on Scope, Not on Code

The stores that lose a quarter of their organic traffic after replatforming almost never lost it to a bug. They lost it to a URL map that sent thousands of pages to the homepage, review stars that vanished with the old app, a landing page template nobody inventoried, or an ERP connector that was "just going to work." The plan this tool builds is the list we use ourselves on day one of every migration; the detailed audit turns it into a priced, sequenced project with owners and dates.

Migration Audit Questions, Answered

What the tool does, what the detailed audit adds, and what a migration costs and takes.

What does the free audit tool actually produce?

A task list for your migration, grouped by phase, generated from your answers and your platform pair: what has to move, what has to be rebuilt, the cautions specific to moving between those two platforms, a complexity score, and an estimated timeline range. It is the same checklist our engineers start from.

What does the detailed custom audit add?

A migration engineer reviews your actual store: the crawl, the catalog export, the app and integration list, and your analytics. You get a sequenced plan with owners and dates, the redirect strategy, the integration approach, a fixed price, and the risks we would watch. It is free and takes about a week.

My platform is not in the list. Can you still help?

Yes. Choose "another platform" and use the custom audit button; we have migrated stores from Wix, Squarespace, PrestaShop, OpenCart, 3dcart, and custom builds. The tool's plan still applies in most parts; the data export is what we scope by hand.

How long does an eCommerce migration take?

A catalog-and-redirects migration with the same design runs four to eight weeks; add a refresh or redesign and most projects land in ten to sixteen weeks; large catalogs, subscriptions, ERP connectors, or multiple storefronts extend it. The tool estimates a range from your answers and the custom audit fixes the date.

How much does a migration cost?

It depends on catalog size, integrations, and whether the design is rebuilt or redesigned, which is exactly what the tool scores. Standard migrations off BigCommerce are free with a new build or a twelve-month program; otherwise the custom audit comes back with a fixed price.

Will we lose SEO rankings?

Not if the migration is run as an SEO project: every URL redirected page to page, metadata and schema carried over, the top organic pages protected and monitored. Stores that do this typically see a small dip for two to four weeks and full recovery; stores that treat it as a data transfer lose for a quarter or more. The plan shows every SEO task for your store.

What happens to customer passwords and saved cards?

Passwords cannot be moved between platforms; accounts, addresses, and order history can, and customers are invited to set a new password on first login. Saved cards and subscription payment tokens move only with the payment processor's cooperation, which we arrange; it is one of the first things the custom audit confirms.

Which platforms do you migrate from, and which to?

From BigCommerce, Shopify, Magento and Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce and WordPress, and Volusion, to BigCommerce, Shopify, Magento, or WooCommerce, and to headless setups on BigCommerce or Shopify. See the migration paths above for the page on each.
