How to Migrate from CustomCart to BigCommerce

Every CustomCart uses a different architecture, so LitExtension begins with source assessment before mapping and migrating data to BigCommerce.

CustomCart source assessment for BigCommerce migration

1. Source Assessment & Access Planning

Share details about your custom platform and available access. Our experts review the API, database, database dump, export files, custom fields, entity relationships, media storage, and migration requirements to define the most suitable approach.

CustomCart data mapping to BigCommerce

2. Data Mapping & Demo Migration

We map available CustomCart entities and fields to BigCommerce, configure the migration environment, transform data where required, and run a Demo Migration so you can review representative records before the full transfer.

CustomCart full migration to BigCommerce

3. Full Migration & Validation

After the demo is approved, we perform the Full Migration, monitor the transfer, and validate key records, relationships, images, customer data, order totals, and content before handover.

FAQs About CustomCart to BigCommerce Migration

Not seeing your question listed here? Contact Us for the quickest answer.

What data can be migrated from CustomCart to BigCommerce?

Depending on what your custom platform can provide, LitExtension can map supported data into BigCommerce structures for Products and Categories, Customers, Orders, Manufacturers, Coupons, Reviews, CMS Pages, and Blogs.

Because CustomCart does not have a fixed source schema, our experts review your records, fields, IDs, relationships, and media references before confirming the final migration scope. Taxes and Multiple Languages are not standard BigCommerce target entities in this scope.

How can LitExtension access data from my custom eCommerce platform?

The access method depends on your system. We can assess a direct API through our API Data Migration Service, a database backup through Database Dump Migration, or structured exports through CSV Files Migration.

Our team recommends the most practical method after reviewing the source architecture and available access.

Can custom fields and non-standard data structures be migrated to BigCommerce?

Many custom fields and non-standard relationships can be migrated when BigCommerce has a suitable destination or when a defined transformation can be built.

For business-specific entities, unusual schemas, or custom transformation rules, our Migration Customization Service can be used to design the required mapping logic.

Can customer passwords and credit card data be migrated from CustomCart to BigCommerce?

Customer profiles can be migrated when the required source data is available, but passwords are not part of the standard BigCommerce target migration scope. Customers may need to set or reset their BigCommerce credentials after launch.

Sensitive payment credentials such as stored credit card data should not be treated as standard migration data and require separate payment-platform handling.

Can product variants, attributes, and images be migrated from CustomCart?

Yes, when your custom source provides the necessary relationships and media references. BigCommerce supports target fields for attributes, variants, variant SKUs and images, prices, quantities, weights, thumbnail images, and additional product images.

The Demo Migration is used to verify how your custom product model maps to BigCommerce before the Full Migration.

Can CMS pages and blog content be migrated from CustomCart to BigCommerce?

Yes, when your source exposes the required content. BigCommerce supports standard target fields for CMS Pages and Blogs, including URLs, descriptions, content-related fields, dates, categories where applicable, status, and thumbnail images.

Page-builder components, custom templates, embedded application logic, or non-standard content blocks may require custom mapping.

How can I preserve SEO when migrating CustomCart to BigCommerce?

If your CustomCart provides usable URLs and supported metadata, our experts can map the relevant values to BigCommerce. When URLs change, 301 redirects can be prepared for important product, category, page, and blog destinations.

After migration, review redirects, metadata, canonical behavior, sitemaps, internal links, and crawl errors before launch.

Can I keep my original CustomCart Order IDs on BigCommerce?

BigCommerce does not allow a source Order ID to become its internal BigCommerce Order ID. When the original CustomCart identifier needs to be retained, it can be stored in the BigCommerce External ID field instead.

Orders linked to products can also affect product quantity on BigCommerce, so inventory should be checked during post-migration validation.

Can I test CustomCart to BigCommerce migration before the Full Migration?

Yes. After the source structure and mappings are prepared, a Demo Migration lets you review representative records before approving the Full Migration. Use the demo to verify products, variants, customers, orders, images, pages, blogs, URLs, and custom transformations included in your scope.

How long does CustomCart to BigCommerce migration take and how much does it cost?

The timeline and cost depend on the source architecture, access method, data volume, schema complexity, custom entities, transformations, media handling, and validation requirements. A custom cart usually requires technical assessment before the final project scope is confirmed.

Use the Cost Estimator on this page for an initial estimate.
