22 flows

Klaviyo flows checked before cutover

For Long Island Watch, we audited all 22 Klaviyo flows before go-live to find which would stop working after the move. 9 of them were retired and we rebuilt 5 on Shopify triggers.

Modifiers

Add-ons rebuilt with metafields

BigCommerce has product modifiers and Shopify has no native equivalent. We recreate add-ons such as a matching strap with product metafields, and the add-on goes into the cart with the main product.

Gift cards

Gift card balances are carried over

Gift card balances move to Shopify along with your products, customers and order history, so customers keep the balance they already have.

Order #

No duplicate order numbers

Your new Shopify orders can repeat numbers already used on BigCommerce. We set a distinct prefix or starting number, so your team does not see two orders with the same number.

"Thankfully, we were teamed up with the good people over at Shero Commerce for our move over to Shopify, along with the entire site redesign. From first meeting, to final deployment, we knew we had made the right decision. The team was very professional, extremely knowledgeable, but also friendly."

Marc Frankel, Founder & CEO, Long Island Watch

What a BigCommerce to Shopify migration covers

We move your store from BigCommerce to Shopify or Shopify Plus, including your data, theme, apps and integrations. A typical migration includes the work below.

Product, customer and order history migration, starting with a test import you approve
BigCommerce options, modifiers and custom fields mapped to variants and metafields
A redirect map for every product, category, brand and blog URL
App replacements, shipping and tax apps reconnected, and the Shopify side of your ERP integration
For B2B Edition stores, a plan for your company accounts and customer group pricing on Shopify B2B
Your theme, either a prebuilt theme styled to your brand or a custom design, with checkout setup included

How you pay Hourly

01

We check your SEO before and after launch

We record your SEO baseline in GA4 and Search Console before the move, and after launch we watch Search Console for 404s and ranking drops. See our Shopify SEO migration work.

02

A plan for every app and custom feature

Apps and custom code do not transfer from BigCommerce, so in discovery we agree on what replaces each one. We pick a native Shopify feature first, then an app, and custom code only if nothing fits.

03

Your team is trained on Shopify before go-live

Before launch, your team gets training on the Shopify admin and the theme editor. After that, your team handles content, promotions and product updates without waiting on a developer.

04

You talk directly to your migration team

You talk directly to the developers, designers and SEO specialists moving your store. You can have a shared Slack channel with the team working on your migration. Your account manager facilitates conversations and advocates for you, and is not billed to you.

05

We plan your B2B Edition setup for Shopify Plus

Our B2B development work covers B2B stores on both BigCommerce and Shopify Plus, so if you sell wholesale on B2B Edition, we plan how your company accounts and pricing move to Shopify B2B.

06

Your BigCommerce store stays live until cutover

We work on an unpublished Shopify store while your BigCommerce store keeps taking orders. Once your team signs off on the new store, we switch the DNS at a low-traffic time.

Your rankings move with you

Migrations usually lose traffic in the redirects and the data. We plan both before a single product moves.

Redirect map
Every old URL mapped to its new Shopify URL and tested before launch.
Data that matches
Products, customers, orders and reviews moved and checked against the source.
Apps replaced
Each plugin or extension matched to a Shopify app or custom code before the build starts.
Launch day watch
Search Console, analytics and checkout monitored through launch week.

Moving off BigCommerce? Let's talk about your store.

Plan my migration

01

Discovery
Discovery is a set of recorded workshops with your team. We map your BigCommerce products, options, custom fields, customer groups, apps and URLs to Shopify, and you get the scope and acceptance criteria.
02

Design
We improve the design of your key templates in Figma, starting with the homepage. Each page gets two rounds of revisions, and you sign off before development starts.
03

Set up and data migration
We develop your Shopify theme, replace your apps, set up your integrations and do test imports of products, customers and orders. Your team checks the test data before the full import.
04

Testing and UAT
We test checkout, payments and the 301 redirects from every indexed BigCommerce URL. Then your team does UAT in BugHerd and signs off.
05

Launch
On go-live day we do a delta import of the latest orders. Then you get two to four weeks of post-launch support (hypercare), and a roadmap and ongoing support if you want it.

What our clients say.

We design experiences that make a difference. See what our clients have to say about working with us.

Long Island Watch

"Recently, I experienced an eCommerce owner's worst nightmare. A legal action required us to re-design our website from the ground up, and re-platform as well. This is something that has filled me with dread whenever the thought crossed my mind in the past.

Thankfully, we were teamed up with the good people over at Shero Commerce for our move over to Shopify, along with the entire site redesign. From first meeting, to final deployment, we knew we had made the right decision. The team was very professional, extremely knowledgeable, but also friendly. While technical capability is the most important trait for a project like this, you cannot disregard the human element, and this made working with Shero even better.

Though they were contracted for the re-design and migration from BigCommerce, I have since used them for other tasks as well. I know the future is bright with Shero in my corner."
