Migrate supported store data from Big Cartel to another eCommerce platform with LitExtension. Our migration service helps transfer the Big Cartel catalog data available through the standard migration scope and map it to the corresponding structure of your selected target platform.

Because Big Cartel is supported as a source rather than a standard migration destination in the current migration scope, select your target platform below to continue with the appropriate migration route.

FAQs About Big Cartel Migration

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

What data can be migrated from Big Cartel?

The standard Big Cartel source scope includes Products with Name, SKU, Full Description, Status, Price, Special Price, Quantity, Variants / Options, and Images, plus Product Category Name. The final transferable fields also depend on the target platform you select.

Can Big Cartel customers and orders be migrated?

Customers and Orders are not included in the standard Big Cartel source export scope currently used for migration. If you have customer or order data available through a separate export, file, or other source, it requires a custom assessment.

Can product variants and options be migrated from Big Cartel?

Yes. Variants / Options are included in the standard Big Cartel product source scope. Their final structure depends on how the selected target platform represents variants and product options.

Will my Big Cartel theme and design move to the new platform?

No. Big Cartel themes, templates, layout settings, and custom storefront code are platform-specific and are not transferred as standard catalog data. The storefront design should be recreated or configured on the target platform.

Can custom Big Cartel data be migrated if it is not in the standard scope?

Potentially. Non-standard data can be reviewed to determine whether it is accessible and whether the target platform has a suitable destination field.

For special mappings or transformations, use our Migration Customization Service.

How can I preserve SEO when moving away from Big Cartel?

SEO preservation depends on the data available from Big Cartel and the target platform’s URL structure. When source URLs can be identified, map important pages to their new destinations and create 301 redirects where supported.

After launch, review redirects, metadata, canonical URLs, sitemap behavior, and crawl errors.

Will my Big Cartel store stay online during migration?

Yes. The migration process does not require you to shut down your live Big Cartel storefront while supported catalog data is being transferred. You can prepare the target store separately and switch over after validation.

Can I test the migration before moving all Big Cartel data?

Yes. A Demo Migration lets you review a sample of supported Big Cartel catalog data on the selected target platform before the Full Migration. Check product fields, variants, quantities, images, and category mapping carefully.

How long does a Big Cartel migration take?

The timeline depends on the number of products, product complexity, image volume, target platform, custom mapping needs, and the amount of validation required. After the target is selected and the source store is reviewed, the migration team can provide a more specific timeline.

How much does Big Cartel migration cost?

Cost depends on your selected target platform, number of products, and any custom migration requirements. Choose the target platform in the migration selector above to continue to the relevant route, or review migration pricing for general pricing information.
