FAQs About BigCommerce Migration
Still have questions about your project? Contact Us for a migration assessment.
What data can I migrate to BigCommerce?
LitExtension can migrate supported products and categories, customers, orders, manufacturers, coupons, reviews, CMS pages, and blog content to BigCommerce. Available fields depend on your source platform and the data it makes accessible.
Run a Demo Migration to verify field mapping and sample records before transferring the full store.
Will migrating to BigCommerce affect my SEO rankings?
A platform migration can cause temporary search fluctuations, but careful URL mapping reduces avoidable SEO loss. LitExtension can transfer supported metadata and create 301 redirects from important source URLs to their new BigCommerce destinations.
Before launch, test redirects, metadata, canonical URLs, internal links, and the XML sitemap. Continue monitoring crawl errors and organic traffic after the switch.
Will there be downtime during the BigCommerce migration?
No. LitExtension runs the migration separately from your live storefront, so customers can continue browsing and placing orders while data is transferred.
Before launch, use Recent Data Migration to move eligible new records created after the initial transfer.
Can customer passwords be migrated to BigCommerce?
Customer password migration depends on the source platform’s encryption and whether its password data can be used by BigCommerce. When password hashes are incompatible or unavailable, customers must create or reset their passwords after launch.
Test customer records and login behavior before sending account-access instructions.
Can product variants and options be migrated to BigCommerce?
Yes. Supported variants and options can be mapped to BigCommerce, including names, SKUs, weights, quantities, stock settings, images, prices, and special prices.
Because platforms structure options differently, review complex combinations, modifiers, and variant limits during the Demo Migration.
Can I test the BigCommerce migration before moving all my data?
Yes. The Free Demo Migration transfers a limited selection of data so you can review products, customers, orders, images, categories, and relationships in BigCommerce.
The demo helps identify mapping adjustments before the Full Migration.
How long does a BigCommerce migration take?
The transfer time depends on the number of entities, source-store response speed, data complexity, custom fields, and selected migration options. Large catalogs, extensive order histories, and custom requirements need more processing and validation time.
LitExtension provides an estimate after reviewing your store and migration scope.
How much does it cost to migrate to BigCommerce?
Pricing depends on the number of products, customers, and orders, plus any required migration options or custom work. Automated Migration and the expert-managed All-in-One Migration Service have different pricing structures.
Use the migration setup to calculate an initial estimate or Contact Us for a tailored quote.
Will my theme, apps, and custom functionality move to BigCommerce?
No. Themes, apps, extensions, and custom code are platform-specific and are not transferred as standard data entities.
Identify required integrations before launch and rebuild or replace the corresponding functionality on BigCommerce. Custom fields or app data can be reviewed separately when a migration path is available.
How should I validate my store after migrating to BigCommerce?
Compare source and target record counts, then inspect representative products, variants, images, inventory, customers, orders, coupons, reviews, pages, and blog posts. Test navigation, search, checkout, payment, shipping, taxes, emails, integrations, and customer accounts.
Also crawl the new site to verify redirects and broken links before changing DNS or sending traffic to BigCommerce.
