BigCommerce to Shopify Migration

Expert services to migrate your store from BigCommerce to Shopify. Seamless and efficient migration solutions tailored to your needs.

We provide migration from BigCommerce to Shopify

The pace of development of online stores depends not only on the product range, marketing efforts, or the managers’ ability to navigate market dynamics. Sometimes, they may depend on the technical capabilities of the platform on which the site is built. And the existing platform may no longer be able to support further development, limiting the business and slowing down the growth of financial indicators.

In this case, the best solution to the problem is a carefully thought-out and planned migration. With the right approach, you can transfer all the necessary information, preserve the results of marketing campaigns and SEO promotion, and keep the store accessible to customers. However, it is crucial to consider all the aspects of the migration process and prepare contingency plans in order not to harm the business. Therefore, it is better to entrust this process to professionals who have extensive experience in working with commercial CMSs.

One of the key services of Voodoo Digital is the transfer of online stores and other web resources to the Shopify platform. We help our clients save time, effort, and resources so that they can spend them on implementing creative ideas and developing their businesses. We work with various content management systems, including BigCommerce to Shopify migration services. Our experts use reliable off-the-shelf data migration schemes and select individual solutions for each project to get the best results and realize the full potential of your online store.

Why Migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify?

1. Ease of Use

BigCommerce is a solid platform, but it is rather designed for professionals deeply immersed in technical details and ready to devote much time to maintaining their stores’ infrastructure. The Shopify interface is much simpler — the main menus, site builders, and admin panels are easy to master. You don’t need to be a tech guru — you just need to understand the business and be fluent in computers. That’s it. Whether you’re adding new products, updating your store’s design, or managing orders, Shopify’s user experience feels smoother and more forgiving. This will come in handy as you expand your business since you’ll spend less time training your staff.

2. Customization & Flexibility

Both platforms allow you to adapt your online store to the specifics of your business model and the expectations of your target audience. However, Shopify offers a much larger library of themes, add-ons, and extensions. Moreover, the platform has a professional community willing to help you with certain tasks. Think of it as having access to a massive LEGO set where you can build almost anything you can imagine. Need a specific function for your store? There’s an app for that.

3. Scalability

Shopify is one of the market leaders in terms of website performance and speed. By choosing the right subscription plan, you will ensure unhindered access to your online store regardless of the number of visits and orders — from tens to millions. Your business grows, and your website follows it, never limiting the pace of development. This is one of the main reasons for BigCommerce to Shopify migration.

4. Powerful Integrations

Shopify is not just a commercial content management system. It’s a kind of “thing in itself” that can make up a large part of your business’s IT infrastructure. Once you open the platform’s marketplace, you can install extensions to personalize your site, run marketing campaigns, track the success of social media communications, and keep track of accounting or analytics. Shopify allows you to connect them in a few clicks. It is a single business management center with a high degree of automation.

5. Payment Processing

Forget about the hassle of external financial services — meet Shopify Payments. The platform works with many third-party processors in different countries and regions. Yes, it may not be the cheapest, as you will have to pay quite high fees. But this is a reasonable price to pay for the ease of integration, reliability, and convenience of making payments for your customers.

6. Mobile Optimization

Most standard and custom Shopify themes are designed with modern responsive design concepts in mind. They ensure your store looks great and functions perfectly across devices. And the best part is that the site admin interface is also adapted to mobile gadgets! This allows you to manage your business on the go, monitoring key indicators and choosing the best settings from anywhere in the world.

7. Better SEO & Marketing Tools

Shopify packs a punch when it comes to business promotion. You can significantly increase your site’s rankings and find a common language with your target audience even with standard built-in tools. And the extensions and apps in the marketplace will help you become a true SEO and marketing expert.

8. Cost-effective Plans

Many stores decide to migrate from BigCommerce to Shopify because of budgetary issues. Yes, both platforms offer subscriptions for businesses of different scales. However, Shopify’s plans are more flexible, allowing you to customize them to meet your business’s individual needs without overpaying a cent.

9. Migration Is Smoother Than You Think

And the most important thing: BigCommerce to Shopify migration is not as complicated as most users imagine it to be, especially when a team of professionals takes on the job. Voodoo Digital agency will help you transfer your online store with minimal time and resources. Thanks to maintaining key indicators, you will not experience a serious dip in traffic or sales. We will do our best to make the new digital real estate convenient for your business!

Shopify’s Popularity

As of the end of 2023, the Shopify platform was the first commercial CMS in the United States and the fourth in the world by the number of online stores. Supporting more than 4.6 million stores, it holds 29% of the US and 10.32% of the global market. If we consider all the possible content management systems that businesses could potentially use, Shopify has a 6.2% share of the international market. These figures look especially impressive in the dynamics because, back in 2020, Shopify controlled 20% of the US market and was second to WooCommerce.

But at the beginning, we said that not all platforms can support e-commerce businesses equally effectively. And the statistics of successful stores illustrate this clearly. Shopify ranks first in popularity among the 1 million most visited websites, covering 28.8% of all traffic. The same is true for the 100,000 online stores with the highest revenue — Shopify occupies 19% of the market, outperforming its main competitors.

The ease, flexibility, and high performance of the commercial CMS make it attractive to businesses and users. Shopify’s annual traffic is approximately 700 million visitors, monthly — 150 million, and daily — 2.1 million. The platform can support both micro startups and international marketplaces. This is the reason for the rapid growth of its popularity in the US and international markets. Today, more and more new Shopify-based stores are opening in the UK, Australia, Germany, Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, and other countries.
