Big Cartel to BigCommerce Migration

Big Cartel to BigCommerce migration transfers your products and categories accurately, with LitExtension’s specialists handling the entire move for you, so your business keeps running without interruption throughout the process.

You won’t need any technical background for this, since Big Cartel’s own platform only exposes product and category data for export, our team maps exactly what’s available rather than promising data types the platform simply doesn’t provide, keeping your Big Cartel to BigCommerce migration honest about what actually transfers. You’re covered by up to 60 days of support after your Full Migration completes.

Create 301 Redirects to Your BigCommerce Store

Automatically maps your Big Cartel product URLs to their matching pages on BigCommerce, helping reduce broken links after the move.

How It Works
Strip HTML Tags from Category & Product Names

Automatically cleans out any leftover HTML markup in your Big Cartel category or product titles before it reaches your BigCommerce store, so names display cleanly.

How It Works
Clear Data on Your BigCommerce Store Before Migration

Wipes out sample or placeholder data already sitting in your BigCommerce store for the entities you’re migrating, so nothing from Big Cartel collides or duplicates with what’s already there.

Migrate Images in Product & Category Descriptions

Brings over images tucked inside your Big Cartel product or category descriptions, not just the standalone gallery images, so your BigCommerce content closely matches your original store.

Popular Questions About Big Cartel to BigCommerce Migration

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

Will my existing SEO URLs for products and categories be preserved during the Big Cartel to BigCommerce Migration?

While Big Cartel’s URL structure might differ from BigCommerce, our team analyzes your Big Cartel product and category URLs and maps them to the corresponding pages on your new BigCommerce store, helping reduce the impact on your SEO rankings.

Will my product variants be migrated from Big Cartel to BigCommerce?
Yes. LitExtension maps your Big Cartel product options and variants to BigCommerce’s variant structure, so your product variations carry over accurately to your new store.
How many variants can a product have on BigCommerce?
BigCommerce supports up to 600 variants per product, giving you plenty of room for product options and variations on your new platform.
Can I migrate product categories from Big Cartel to BigCommerce?

Yes. LitExtension migrates your Big Cartel category names and maps them to the corresponding category structure on BigCommerce, so your product organization carries over as part of the migration.

How do I export all products from BigCommerce?
Log into your BigCommerce control panel, navigate to the Products section, and choose Export. Click Start Export to begin the process, then download the resulting CSV file once it’s ready.
Will my Big Cartel store’s design and layout transfer to BigCommerce?
No. Store design and theme are platform-specific and don’t carry over, this migration moves your product data, not your storefront’s visual layout. You’ll select a new BigCommerce theme separately after the transfer.
Will my Big Cartel store stay online during migration?

Yes. LitExtension connects and transfers your Big Cartel product data to build it out on BigCommerce separately, so your live store keeps running normally the entire time.

How does LitExtension verify my product data transferred correctly?
Every product, price, and inventory record is cross-checked against your original Big Cartel data during our validation phase, so any mismatch gets caught and corrected before the migration is marked complete.
