Popular Questions About Big Cartel to Magento Migration

Not seeing your question listed here? Contact Us for the quickest answer.
Can LitExtension migrate order history or invoices from Big Cartel to Magento?

No. Big Cartel doesn’t offer an export path for order data at all, so there’s no order history, invoices, or transaction records for LitExtension’s team to bring into your new Magento store.

What exactly gets moved in a Big Cartel to Magento migration?

Since Big Cartel only makes product and category data available for export, that’s the scope of what transfers, your product catalog, not customer accounts or order history. LitExtension’s specialist rebuilds your product listings accurately in Magento so you can start selling with a fresh customer base and clean order records.

What’s the price for the All-in-One Big Cartel to Magento migration?

The fully managed Big Cartel to Magento Migration Service starts at $129, with your final number shaped mainly by how many products you’re carrying over. Check the Pricing Estimator above for a rough figure, or contact Support for an exact quote.

How secure is my product data during the Big Cartel to Magento migration?

It moves over an HTTPS connection with the latest encryption standard, and nothing stays on LitExtension’s servers once your project wraps up. LitExtension also follows GDPR standards, signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement before starting, and limits source-code access to authorized migration staff only.

Does the migration bring over product reviews from Big Cartel?

No, Big Cartel doesn’t expose review data through export, so there’s nothing on that front for LitExtension’s team to transfer into Magento.

What do I actually get by paying for the All-in-One Migration Service instead of doing it myself?

A LitExtension specialist handles your Big Cartel to Magento data migration, mapping and rebuilding your catalog and testing the results, so you don’t touch a migration tool yourself. That includes a Personal Assistant, every Additional Option at no extra cost, and priority Slack or WhatsApp support, with up to 60 days of support after your Full Migration completes.

What happens to my Big Cartel CMS pages and blog posts during migration?

They stay put, unfortunately. Big Cartel doesn’t offer an export option for CMS pages or blog content, so this falls outside what the migration can transfer to Magento.

Since Big Cartel doesn’t export customers or orders, is a Magento migration still worth it?

For most sellers, yes, the value is in getting your product catalog cleanly rebuilt on a platform with far more scalability and customization than Big Cartel offers. You’ll start fresh on customers and orders, but your listings, pricing, and inventory transfer accurately without you re-entering everything by hand.
