WooCommerce to BigCommerce Migration: Stop Maintaining Plugins and Get Back to Selling

Every active plugin and what it does, product types and variation counts, custom fields, user roles, coupons, subscriptions, the theme's custom code, and the integrations hanging off the store, each mapped to a BigCommerce feature, an app, or a build. If the store depends on something BigCommerce cannot do, you hear it here.

Core, Growth, Scale, or Performance chosen against your trailing sales, since the 2026 plans upgrade automatically at set thresholds, and a payment provider chosen with the Open Payment Provider Fee in view: Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, and the other embedded providers carry no platform fee, anything outside the list costs 0.6 to 2 percent by plan. Tax and shipping are configured to match what you charge today.

Variable products become products with options and variants, up to 250 values per option and 600 SKUs per product; attributes used for filtering become options or custom fields that feed faceted search; categories, tags, brands, images, and inventory move by API with every count checked against the WooCommerce database.

Customer accounts with addresses and roles, and the order history with line items, statuses, and totals, imported so service and reporting carry on. Active subscriptions are moved to a subscription app such as Recharge with their schedules, and with payment tokens where your gateway permits the transfer.

Three ways to build it. A Stencil theme for a fast, conventional store; Catalyst on Next.js for a custom front end; or BigCommerce for WordPress, which keeps your WordPress theme and pages in front and hands catalog and checkout to BigCommerce. We recommend one after the audit. See BigCommerce web design.

Content-led stores usually keep WordPress for articles, guides, and landing pages, because it is the stronger publishing tool, and connect it to the store. Smaller blogs move into BigCommerce's built-in blog and pages. Either way every post keeps its URL or gets a redirect.

Product reviews, coupons and promotions, real-time shipping quotes, abandoned cart emails, customer groups, and faceted search are part of BigCommerce, by plan, so many plugins have no replacement at all. The rest are matched to apps or built on the open APIs: ERP, 3PL, search, loyalty, email, and marketplaces.

Wholesale plugins, role-based prices, and minimum order rules are rebuilt with customer groups and price lists, or with B2B Edition when you need company accounts, buyer roles, quotes, purchase orders, and net terms. All of it is verified with real buyer logins before launch.

BigCommerce lets you set any URL, so /product/ and /product-category/ paths can be kept or cleaned up, whichever protects rankings. We baseline the crawl, map every indexed URL, carry over titles, descriptions, canonicals, and schema, bulk import the 301s, rehearse launch day, and monitor daily for two weeks, with support afterward if you want it.

What the store is made of, what replaces each part, the plan and fee model, and a fixed price. The free migration audit gets you a first task list in minutes.

Stencil, Catalyst, or BigCommerce for WordPress chosen, the payment provider confirmed, and the URL structure decided with rankings in mind.

Catalog, customers, and orders imported into a staging store by API, counts compared with WooCommerce, and the import repeated until nothing is missing.

The storefront built, WordPress content connected or moved, apps and integrations configured, and subscriptions and wholesale accounts set up and tested.

301s bulk imported and crawled, launch day rehearsed, a delta sync of the latest orders, and DNS switched during your slowest hour.

Rankings, crawl errors, orders, and page speed checked daily for two weeks, your team trained on the BigCommerce admin, and the old hosting retired when you are ready.
