How to Migrate WooCommerce to BigCommerce
LitExtension offers two ways to move your store from WooCommerce to BigCommerce: run the migration yourself with our automated tool, or let our experts handle the process with All-in-One Migration Service.
#1: Set Up Your Stores
Select WooCommerce as your Source Cart and BigCommerce as your Target Cart. Then, enter the required store details to connect both platforms.
#2: Select Data To Migrate
Choose the data you want to transfer, such as products, categories, customers, orders, coupons, reviews, and blog content.
#3: Run Demo or Full Migration
Start with a free demo to preview the results. Once everything looks ready, proceed with the full migration while your WooCommerce store stays live.
#1: Review Your Migration Requirements
LitExtension experts review your WooCommerce data, BigCommerce setup, migration scope, and any custom requirements before the transfer begins.
#2: Configure Data Mapping and Options
Our team maps important data fields, configures selected migration options, and prepares your BigCommerce store for the migration.
#3: Perform Full Migration and Quality Check
LitExtension runs the full WooCommerce to BigCommerce migration and checks the migrated data so your new store is ready for testing.
Detailed WooCommerce to BigCommerce Migration Methods
Choose the migration method that fits your store size, data complexity, technical resources, and launch timeline.
Method 1: Use LitExtension Automated Migration Tool
This method is suitable if you want to migrate WooCommerce data to BigCommerce quickly while still controlling the setup yourself. You can connect both stores, select the data types to transfer, configure additional options, run a free demo, and review the result before launching the full migration.
Step 1. Set up WooCommerce and BigCommerce
Log in to the LitExtension app and click Create New Migration. Select WooCommerce as your Source Cart, then enter your Source Cart URL, username, and password.
Step 2. Select data and migration options
Choose the WooCommerce data you want to migrate to BigCommerce, such as products, categories, customers, orders, coupons, reviews, and blog content. You can select specific data types or click Select All to transfer everything supported.
Then, configure additional options based on your needs, such as preserving order IDs, clearing BigCommerce sample data, creating 301 redirects, or migrating images in descriptions. You should also map languages and order statuses so the migrated data stays consistent on BigCommerce.
Once the setup is ready, click Next: Start Free Demo Migration to preview the result, or skip the demo if you want to proceed directly to the full migration.
Step 3. Run the full migration
After reviewing your demo result and final settings, start the full WooCommerce to BigCommerce migration. LitExtension transfers your selected data through a cloud-based system, so your WooCommerce store can stay live during the process.
When the migration is complete, you’ll receive an email notification. After that, review your migrated products, customers, orders, images, URLs, and checkout flow before preparing your BigCommerce store for launch.
Method 2: Use LitExtension All-in-One Migration Service
This method is better suited for larger stores, complex WooCommerce setups, or merchants who prefer expert support instead of configuring the migration themselves.
With All-in-One Migration Service, LitExtension experts review your WooCommerce data, BigCommerce setup, migration scope, and custom requirements. Our team then handles data mapping, additional options, full migration, and post-migration quality checks.
This option is especially useful if your store has custom fields, plugin-generated data, many product variations, complex order statuses, or SEO URLs that need careful handling during the move to BigCommerce.
Method 3: Manually Export and Import Data with CSV Files
Manual migration is possible if your WooCommerce store is small and your data structure is simple. However, this method requires more technical work because you need to export data, format CSV files, map fields, import data into BigCommerce, and check the result manually.
Step 1. Export data from WooCommerce
From your WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce > Products > Export. Select the columns, product types, and categories you want to export, then click Generate CSV.
Step 2. Format CSV files for BigCommerce
Before importing data into BigCommerce, adjust your WooCommerce CSV files to match BigCommerce’s required format. Check column names, required fields, product data, image links, variants, and any fields you do not want to import.
Step 3. Import data into BigCommerce
In your BigCommerce admin panel, go to Products > Import, upload your CSV file, map the fields, and start the import. After importing, review your products, images, categories, and storefront display carefully.
Manual CSV import may not cover customers, orders, reviews, blog content, images, redirects, or custom data as smoothly as an automated migration or expert-led service. For stores with important order history, SEO URLs, or custom fields, consider using an automated migration tool or All-in-One Migration Service instead.
What to Check After WooCommerce to BigCommerce Migration
After your WooCommerce data has been migrated to BigCommerce, do not launch the new store right away. Take time to review the migrated records, storefront behavior, and SEO setup to make sure everything is ready for customers.
| Area to check | What to review |
|---|---|
| Products and categories | Check product names, SKUs, prices, stock quantities, descriptions, images, categories, attributes, and variations. |
| Customers and orders | Review customer profiles, billing and shipping addresses, order items, order statuses, taxes, discounts, shipping fees, and order totals. |
| Content and images | Make sure blog posts, CMS pages, embedded images, internal links, and metadata display correctly on BigCommerce. |
| SEO URLs and redirects | Test old WooCommerce product, category, and blog URLs to confirm they redirect to the correct BigCommerce pages. |
| Store settings | Recheck tax rules, shipping methods, payment gateways, currencies, email notifications, and checkout settings. |
| Storefront experience | Test site search, filters, product pages, cart, checkout, customer login, and account registration. |
| Final data updates | If new orders, customers, or products appear on WooCommerce after the first migration, run a recent data migration or smart update before launch. |
