WordPress to BigCommerce Migration
Migrate your WordPress website to BigCommerce with LitExtension’s expert-managed All-in-One Migration Service. Standard WordPress content such as CMS pages and blogs can be transferred directly, while eCommerce data such as products, customers, orders, coupons, and reviews can also be migrated when your WordPress site uses WooCommerce.
Our migration experts review your WordPress and WooCommerce setup, map supported fields to BigCommerce, run a Demo Migration, perform the Full Migration, and validate the transferred data before handover.
What Data Can Be Migrated from WordPress to BigCommerce
WordPress content data and WooCommerce store data are handled separately. CMS Pages and Blogs are available from standard WordPress. eCommerce entities are available when WooCommerce is installed and the corresponding data exists in your store. The fields below are limited to what BigCommerce supports as a standard target.

How to Migrate WordPress to BigCommerce
LitExtension experts handle WordPress to BigCommerce migration in three structured steps, including WooCommerce data when your WordPress site uses WooCommerce.
1. Review WordPress & WooCommerce Data
Our experts review your WordPress CMS content, WooCommerce installation if present, plugins, data volume, custom fields, SEO requirements, and BigCommerce setup to define the migration scope.
2. Map Data & Run Demo Migration
We map native WordPress content and supported WooCommerce store data to BigCommerce, configure applicable migration options, and run a Demo Migration so you can review sample results before the full transfer.
3. Perform & Validate Full Migration
After you approve the demo, we perform the Full Migration and validate the selected CMS, blog, product, customer, order, coupon, review, and related data based on your confirmed scope.

FAQs About WordPress to BigCommerce Migration
Not seeing your question listed here? Contact Us for the quickest answer.
What data can be migrated from WordPress to BigCommerce?
Standard WordPress provides CMS Pages and Blogs. If your WordPress site uses WooCommerce, the migration scope can also include supported Products and Categories, Customers, Orders, Manufacturers, Coupons, and Reviews.
Taxes and Multiple Languages are not included as standard BigCommerce target entities in this migration scope.
Which WordPress data requires WooCommerce for migration to BigCommerce?
Products, Product Categories, Customers, Orders, Manufacturers, Coupons, and Reviews require WooCommerce in the source WordPress site. CMS Pages and Blogs come from WordPress itself and do not require WooCommerce.
Can WooCommerce products and variants be migrated to BigCommerce?
Yes. When WooCommerce is installed, supported product data such as names, SKUs, descriptions, prices, stock, dimensions, tags, attributes, variants, and product images can be mapped to corresponding BigCommerce fields.
WooCommerce-only product types or fields without a standard BigCommerce target equivalent are not included automatically.
Can WooCommerce customers, orders, and passwords be migrated?
Supported WooCommerce customer profiles and order history can be migrated to BigCommerce, including customer contact data, billing information, order dates, statuses, items, totals, comments, and addresses where the fields overlap.
Customer passwords are not part of the standard BigCommerce target migration scope, so customers may need to reset their passwords after launch.
Can WordPress pages, blog posts, and images be migrated to BigCommerce?
Yes. Native WordPress CMS Pages and Blogs are supported where their fields overlap with BigCommerce. Standard fields include URLs, descriptions, created dates, categories where supported, and thumbnail images.
Page-builder layouts, plugin-managed media, galleries, shortcodes, and highly customized content may require separate assessment.
Will my WordPress theme, WooCommerce plugins, and custom functionality move to BigCommerce?
No. WordPress themes, page builders, WooCommerce plugins, extensions, shortcodes, and custom PHP are platform-specific and are not transferred as standard migration data. Equivalent design and functionality should be recreated or configured for BigCommerce separately.
For custom fields or plugin-generated data, our Migration Customization Service can assess the required mapping.
How can I preserve SEO when migrating WordPress and WooCommerce to BigCommerce?
Preserve supported metadata and map important WordPress pages, blog posts, WooCommerce products, and category URLs to their new BigCommerce destinations. When URLs change, use 301 redirects to reduce broken links and preserve important search and backlink signals.
After migration, review redirects, metadata, canonical URLs, sitemap behavior, internal links, and crawl errors before launch.
Will my WordPress or WooCommerce site stay online during migration?
Yes. The migration runs separately from your live site, so WordPress and WooCommerce can remain available while selected data is transferred to BigCommerce.
If new WooCommerce products, customers, or orders are created during the migration period, Recent Data Migration can be used when applicable.
Can I test WordPress to BigCommerce migration before the Full Migration?
Yes. A Demo Migration lets you review a sample of the selected WordPress and WooCommerce data before the Full Migration. Use it to check field mapping, content formatting, products, customers, orders, URLs, images, CMS pages, and blogs based on your migration scope.
How long does WordPress to BigCommerce migration take and how much does it cost?
The timeline and cost depend on whether you are migrating WordPress content only or a full WooCommerce store, as well as the number of selected entities, data complexity, plugins, custom fields, image volume, and validation requirements.
Use the Cost Estimator on this page for an initial estimate. Custom or plugin-generated data can be reviewed separately before the project starts.
