Shero has been building and migrating BigCommerce stores since 2009. BigCommerce to Shopify Plus migrations are among the fastest in the practice, typically completing in 8-12 weeks for standard stores.

8-14

weeks for a BigCommerce to Shopify migration

Standard BigCommerce migrations run 8-12 weeks. Stores with B2B Edition configuration and ERP integrations run 12-14 weeks. The migration services hub covers all platforms and timelines.

Working with Shero has been an outstanding experience. Their team is highly skilled and easy to work with.

What a BigCommerce to Shopify migration covers

BigCommerce and Shopify share some similarities as hosted platforms but differ significantly in data model, API structure, URL patterns, and B2B feature availability. A BigCommerce migration requires the same redirect work and integration rebuilds as a Magento migration. Shero migrates BigCommerce stores to Shopify and Shopify Plus, covering product and customer data, URL mapping, integration rebuilds, theme development, and SEO protection.

  • BigCommerce data migration and validation
  • URL structure mapping and 301 redirects
  • ERP and integration rebuilds for Shopify
  • BigCommerce B2B to Shopify Plus B2B
  • Theme development and UX improvement
  • SEO protection through 90-day monitoring

Why BigCommerce brands choose Shero for migration to Shopify

BigCommerce to Shopify migrations fail for the same reasons Magento migrations do: redirects not completed before go-live, integrations treated as afterthoughts, and B2B configuration not mapped until the build is already underway.

01

BigCommerce URL patterns differ from Shopify and require explicit redirect mapping

BigCommerce default URLs differ from Shopify. Without a complete redirect map, pages that have accumulated backlinks and search rankings produce 404 errors after migration. Shero maps every BigCommerce URL in discovery, verifies every redirect before launch, and monitors organic traffic daily through the 90-day stabilisation period.

02

BigCommerce app integrations often do not have direct Shopify equivalents

BigCommerce has around 1,300 apps. Shopify has over 8,000. Most BigCommerce apps have Shopify equivalents, but functionality is not identical and configuration differs. Shero audits every active app and identifies the closest Shopify equivalent or custom solution before the build starts so no gap surfaces on launch day.

03

BigCommerce customer groups map to Shopify price lists and customer tags

BigCommerce uses customer groups for pricing. Shopify uses price lists on Plus for B2B and customer tags for DTC. Without explicit mapping, pricing logic that worked on BigCommerce produces wrong prices on Shopify. Shero maps every customer group to the correct Shopify mechanism before a single product is migrated.

04

Shopify's checkout is the primary reason for the migration

Merchants migrating from BigCommerce to Shopify report 15-36% checkout conversion improvements from Shopify's optimised flow and mobile-first architecture. Shero configures the checkout correctly from day one so gains begin at launch rather than after weeks of debugging. The Shopify checkout optimisation page covers what further customisation is possible.

05

BigCommerce B2B edition maps to Shopify Plus B2B

BigCommerce B2B Edition covers company accounts, custom pricing, and buyer portals. Shopify Plus covers the same natively. Shero maps the BigCommerce B2B configuration to Shopify Plus equivalents in discovery so the rebuild is explicit and B2B buyers hit no account or pricing gaps at go-live.

06

SEO equity is preserved when redirects are verified before go-live

BigCommerce stores live for several years have accumulated organic authority on product and category URLs. That authority transfers through correctly implemented 301 redirects, not automatically. Shero maps, verifies, and tests every redirect before launch and monitors organic traffic daily for 90 days. The Shopify SEO migration page covers the full SEO workstream.

How Shero migrates from BigCommerce to Shopify

01

BigCommerce audit

Audit product data, every active app, customer group pricing configuration, B2B Edition setup, and URL structure. Customer group pricing logic is the most common source of post-migration pricing errors and must be mapped before any product is imported.

02

Data migration

Migrate products, customers, and orders with integrity validation before build proceeds. BigCommerce custom fields require explicit mapping to Shopify metafields; fields not mapped before import do not appear in the new store.

03

App and integration mapping

Map every BigCommerce app to a Shopify App Store equivalent and rebuild any direct API integrations. BigCommerce and Shopify apps are not interchangeable; each requires fresh installation, configuration, and testing in Shopify.

04

Theme development

Build the Shopify theme with improved checkout and mobile performance. BigCommerce to Shopify migrations are an opportunity to redesign for conversion improvement rather than replicating the existing store's UX.

05

Redirect mapping and SEO

Map every BigCommerce URL to Shopify and verify the complete redirect set before go-live. BigCommerce and Shopify use different URL structures; every indexed URL without a redirect loses its accumulated ranking signals.

06

Go-live and monitoring

Run the pre-launch checklist. Monitor organic traffic, checkout conversion, and integration health daily for 90 days. BigCommerce merchants consistently report checkout conversion improvements within the first 30 days on Shopify.
