Shift4Shop to BigCommerce Migration Challenges We Help You Overcome

Template Limits

Challenges

Shift4Shop themes can restrict layout edits, causing rushed design changes and inconsistent storefront pages during your move to BigCommerce.

Solution

  • Rebuild key templates to match your current layout
  • Map page sections into BigCommerce theme structure
  • Move content blocks without breaking page formatting
  • Test responsive layouts across devices before launch

Export Gaps

Challenges

Shift4Shop exports can miss related fields, leading to incomplete product options, category links, and pricing details after import to BigCommerce.

Solution

  • Extract products with options using custom export scripts
  • Rebuild option sets into BigCommerce product modifiers
  • Validate category mapping and product-to-category relationships
  • Reconcile pricing rules across variants and customer groups

SEO Risk

Challenges

Shift4Shop URL structures and meta fields may not match BigCommerce, creating broken links and ranking drops if redirects are skipped.

Solution

  • Create redirect map for all indexed URLs
  • Carry over titles, meta descriptions, and headings
  • Preserve canonical rules and update sitemap outputs
  • Run crawl tests to catch 404 issues

Challenges

Solution

  • Recreate shipping, tax, and discount rule logic
  • Configure payment gateways and test capture flows
  • Verify order totals with real cart scenarios
  • Set fraud checks and email notifications correctly

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Shift4Shop to BigCommerce migration cost?

Cost depends on catalog size, theme rebuild needs, and integrations. Most projects are priced after a data review and scope list.

Small stores can take a few weeks, while larger catalogs and custom needs take longer. Timeline depends on data cleanup and design work.

We export and map data, import into BigCommerce, rebuild theme and pages, set up apps, test checkout, then launch with redirects.

It can if URLs change without redirects or metadata is dropped. Redirect mapping, metadata transfer, and crawl testing reduce risk.

Customers and order history can usually be moved. Passwords often cannot be transferred for security reasons, so customers may need a reset link.
