Migrate eCommerce data from a Database Dump to BigCommerce with LitExtension’s expert-managed All-in-One Migration Service. Our specialists analyze your database structure, identify the relevant tables and relationships, map supported fields to BigCommerce, and prepare the data for migration.

What Data Can Be Migrated from a Database Dump to BigCommerce

The tabs below show the standard BigCommerce target fields supported for migration. Because a database dump does not have a fixed source schema, the actual transferable fields depend on the tables, columns, relationships, identifiers, content, and image references available in your database.

Create 301 Redirects on Your BigCommerce Store

When the database contains usable legacy URLs or URL keys, map important source URLs to their corresponding BigCommerce pages to reduce broken links and support SEO continuity after launch.

BigCommerce does not allow the original Database Dump Order ID to become its internal Order ID. With Preserve Order IDs selected, LitExtension stores the original Database Dump Order ID in the BigCommerce External ID field.

Strip HTML Tags from Category & Product Names

Automatically remove unwanted HTML tags from supported product and category names during migration.

Clear Data on Your BigCommerce Store Before Migration

Remove existing BigCommerce data for selected migration entities before transfer to reduce conflicts or duplicate records.

Migrate Images in Product, Category & Blog Descriptions

FAQs About Database Dump to BigCommerce Migration

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

What data can be migrated from a Database Dump to BigCommerce?

The standard BigCommerce target scope includes Products and Categories, Customers, Orders, Manufacturers, Coupons, Reviews, CMS Pages, and Blogs. The exact fields that can be migrated depend on whether the corresponding data exists in your database and whether the source relationships can be mapped reliably.

Taxes and Multiple Languages are not included as standard BigCommerce target migration entities in the current scope.

What should a database dump contain for BigCommerce migration?

The dump should contain the tables, columns, identifiers, and relationships needed to reconstruct the entities you want to migrate. Stable IDs are especially useful for connecting products to variants, orders to customers and line items, reviews to products, and categories to related records.

Our Database Dump Migration Service can assess the database structure before migration.

Can custom database tables and fields be migrated to BigCommerce?

Potentially. Custom fields can be mapped when BigCommerce has a suitable destination or when a supported transformation can be defined. Custom tables, third-party module data, or fields without a direct target equivalent require separate assessment.

For non-standard mappings, use our Migration Customization Service.

Can product variants, attributes, and images be migrated from a Database Dump?

Yes, when the database contains the required product relationships and media references. BigCommerce supports standard target fields for attributes, variants, thumbnail images, additional images, dimensions, stock, prices, and related product data.

Can customer passwords be migrated from a Database Dump to BigCommerce?

Customer profiles can be migrated when the required data exists, but customer passwords are not part of the standard BigCommerce target scope. Password hashes from a legacy database are generally tied to the source authentication system, so customers may need to reset their passwords after launch.

Can I migrate to BigCommerce if the original store is offline?

Yes. The original storefront does not need to stay online when the migration is performed from a usable database dump. This makes database migration suitable for legacy, custom-built, discontinued, or inaccessible source platforms when the required data is still available.

How can I preserve SEO when migrating database data to BigCommerce?

If the database contains legacy URLs, URL keys, metadata, or other SEO-related fields, map the supported values to BigCommerce where possible. When URLs change, create 301 redirects from important legacy URLs to their new destinations.

After migration, review redirects, metadata, canonical URLs, sitemap behavior, internal links, and crawl errors before launch.

Can I test Database Dump to BigCommerce migration before the Full Migration?

Yes. A Demo Migration lets you review sample records after the database has been analyzed and mapped. Use it to verify field mapping, products, customers, orders, variants, images, reviews, content, and relationships before approving the Full Migration.

How long does a Database Dump to BigCommerce migration take?

The timeline depends on database size, schema complexity, data quality, custom tables, relationship complexity, image handling, required transformations, and the amount of validation needed. After reviewing the dump, the migration team can provide a project-specific timeline.

How much does Database Dump to BigCommerce migration cost?

Migration cost depends on the number of products, customers, orders, blog posts, and other selected entities, along with database analysis and any custom mapping requirements. Use the Cost Estimator on this page for an initial estimate.
