7 Steps to Successfully Transfer Your Ecommerce Store to BigCommerce

1. Audit Your Current Store

A successful migration begins with a comprehensive audit. We evaluate:

  • Product data and categories

  • Customer profiles and order history

  • Custom plugins, extensions, or themes

  • SEO structure (URLs, meta tags, schema)

  • Integrations with ERP, CRM, POS, or marketing systems

This step ensures nothing is left behind during the transfer of your ecommerce store.

2. Plan Your BigCommerce Store Setup

We help you plan the architecture of your new store:

  • Theme selection and customization

  • Payment gateways and tax rules

  • Shipping logic and delivery zones

  • Recommended apps and BigCommerce-native features

A detailed plan sets the foundation for a successful store migration.

3. Choose the Right Migration Path

Every ecommerce platform has a different structure. At Folio3, we develop a custom migration strategy tailored to your current system—be it Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, or others.

We ensure safe and accurate migration of:

  • Products, categories, images, and pricing

  • Customer data and purchase history

  • SEO metadata, redirects, and custom attributes

  • Tags, product filters, and more

This helps avoid data loss, duplication, or performance bottlenecks.

4. Transfer Your Store Data

During this phase, we transfer your ecommerce store data efficiently:

  • Product SKUs, descriptions, and pricing

  • Customer profiles and past orders

  • Product categories, tags, and filters

  • SEO metadata and 301 redirects

We also clean and normalize your data to match BigCommerce’s format—ensuring the new store is optimized from day one.

5. Customize, Integrate & Extend

Once the store data is in place, our expert developers help you:

  • Customize your BigCommerce theme to reflect your brand identity

  • Integrate with key systems like ERP, CRM, marketing tools, or 3PLs

  • Build any required custom apps, scripts, or modules

  • Optimize navigation, performance, and mobile responsiveness

This ensures your BigCommerce store is not only functional but also future-proof.

6. Test Everything Thoroughly

Before going live, we perform a full quality assurance (QA) process:

  • Test product listings, checkout process, and payment flows

  • Ensure customer and order data is complete and accessible

  • Verify SEO-friendly URLs, metadata, and schema

  • Optimize for mobile, browser compatibility, and page speed

We address any issues in real time—ensuring a frictionless launch.

7. Launch & Post-Migration Support

Going live doesn’t mean the journey ends. Our team ensures a successful launch by:

  • Mapping your domain to the new store

  • Setting up real-time error monitoring

  • Post-launch performance tuning

  • Ongoing support, backups, and updates

With Folio3’s ongoing support, your BigCommerce store will continue to evolve with your business.
