BigCommerce migration
services we provide
Pre-migration preparation
Every effective migration starts with an in-depth analysis of your existing platform and its capabilities. We carefully examine your starting point by auditing your ecommerce platform’s functionality, data assets, and integrations. Further, we describe the desired future state and propose a detailed migration plan.
Functionality migration
For a complete BigCommerce migration, we transfer all existing functionalities to the new platform. This valuable part of replatforming can include setting up out-of-the-box functionality, searching for ready-made add-ons, and creating extensions from scratch.
Data migration
At Dinarys, we carefully move your entire dataset, ensuring zero data loss or corruption. From your product catalog to customer data and reward program information on every bonus point saved, we meticulously verify all data after migration, eliminating duplicates and safeguarding data integrity.
Theme migration
Our expert team will replicate the design of your current site on the BigCommerce platform. Your customers won’t even notice the difference. We can also upgrade your theme to suit your business needs.
Integrations setup
When migration to BigCommerce is almost done, we take care of your integrations. Our BigCommerce migration experts will both reconnect any CRM, ERP, and shipping tools you previously used and add brand-new integrations.
Post-migration support
The last but not least important step in moving to BigCommerce is post-migration support. After carefully checking migrated data, we can continue to develop the functionality for your new BigCommerce store, analyze its performance, and assist in its improvement, working on increasing operational efficiency of the hosted ecommerce solution.

FAQ
While other ecommerce platforms have their place, in some cases, BigCommerce can better match your needs due to its headless architecture that provides flexibility in customizing and integrating third-party systems. This helps you increase your ROI, and it’s easy to switch among paid plans as your business grows.

Before answering, we need to carefully analyze your metrics. The time for migrating to a new ecommerce platform depends on the scale of your business, the product data and number of items in your online store, required plugins, the number of customers and reviews, and other factors. As a rule of thumb, migrations often take:
-
a couple of weeks for small stores
-
less than a month for medium-sized businesses
-
several weeks to a few months for complete migration of large stores
