How to Migrate Store Data to BigCommerce
Want to move your store to BigCommerce? LitExtension makes it easy with these six simple steps:
- Backup your current store’s database
- Set up a new BigCommerce store
- Set up Source and Target Carts
- Choose what data to migrate
- Perform the full migration
- Follow a go-live checklist after migrating
Here are the 3 main steps to use the LitExtension tool:
Step 1. Set Up Source and Target Carts
Log in and click “Create new migration”. First, pick your current (Source) cart and enter its URL.
- *If your current cart is open-source (like WooCommerce), download the “le_connector” file. This file connects your store to LitExtension. Unzip it and upload it to your server’s root folder. A “Connection was successfully installed” message will appear when done.
- If your current cart is hosted (like Wix), just follow the on-screen steps.
Next, pick BigCommerce as your Target Cart. Enter your store URL, API Path, and API Access Token.
If you need help finding your API details, read this migration guide: How To Get BigCommerce API.
Click “Next” to continue.
Step 2. Configure Migration
Select what you want to move, like products, customers, pages, blogs, and coupons. You can pick a few or click “Select all”.
You can also use extra options. For example, you can “Clear current data on Target Store” to avoid duplicates. Or, you can “Create 301 redirects” so links to your old store will automatically go to your new BigCommerce store instead of showing an error.
Make sure to match your order statuses and languages so they show up correctly on BigCommerce.
Step 3. Perform BigCommerce Migration
You are ready to migrate! We suggest running the FREE DEMO first to see how it works before kick off your full migration.
When the Full Migration starts, it runs on our servers. You can safely turn off your computer. We will email you when it finishes!
If you used special apps on your old store, find similar ones on BigCommerce. LitExtension can help move data to those apps too.
Your old store will keep running normally during the move. To move any new sales or customers you get during this time, use our free tools:
- Recent Data Migration: Moves brand-new items to your new store.
- Smart Update: Updates changed data and moves new items.
- Remigration: Moves your data all over again if needed.
These extra options are FREE if you do them within 3 months of your full migration, and if the new data is less than 10% of your total data.
Moving to BigCommerce is easy! But if you don’t want to do it yourself, check out our All-in-One Migration Package. Our experts will do all the work for you.
