Your BigCommerce to BigCommerce Migration in Detail

Migrating your BigCommerce store to another BigCommerce instance with Cart2Cart is a straightforward, step-by-step process designed for efficiency and accuracy:

  1. Connect Your Source & Target BigCommerce Stores

    Begin by specifying your existing BigCommerce store as the Source Cart and your new BigCommerce store as the Target Cart. For both platforms, Cart2Cart utilizes a secure API connection, requiring appropriate credentials to establish a link for data export and import.

    The initial view of the 'Source Store Info' page. It displays the 'Choose Source Shopping Cart' dropdown with 'WooCommerce' selected, along with input fields for Source Store URL, Source Store Admin URL, Source Admin Login, and Source Admin Password. An 'I don't have these details' checkbox is available for admin credentials.

  2. Select Data Entities for Migration

    Choose precisely which data you want to transfer. Cart2Cart supports a wide array of entities, including products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You have full control to select all or specific types of data.

    The main 'Entities Selection' screen, showing a list of selectable entities like Products, Customers, and Blogs, with options to choose which data types to migrate. It also displays 'Previous Step' and 'Next Step' navigation buttons.

  3. Configure Additional Migration Options

    Enhance your migration with various additional options. These can include preserving SEO URLs, creating 301 redirects, migrating customer passwords, and more, ensuring a comprehensive transfer that meets your specific needs.

    A full view of the 'Additional Options' page (Step 6 of the migration wizard), displaying a list of selectable migration options with checkboxes, 'Watch' links to videos, and 'Recommended' labels. A right sidebar shows a 'Get Assistance' button and an 'Instruction' box, offering contextual information. Navigation buttons for 'Previous Step', 'Skip Demo', and 'Start Demo Migration' are visible at the bottom.

  4. Run a Free Demo Migration

    Before committing to a full migration, run a free demo. This transfers a limited number of entities to your new BigCommerce store, allowing you to review the results and ensure everything is transferred correctly and functions as expected.

  5. Launch Your Full BigCommerce Migration

    Once you're satisfied with the demo results, proceed to launch your full BigCommerce to BigCommerce migration. Cart2Cart will then transfer all your selected data, providing real-time progress updates until completion.

How long does a BigCommerce to BigCommerce migration take?

The duration of your BigCommerce to BigCommerce migration largely depends on the volume of data you're transferring and the complexity of additional options selected. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for speed, often completing migrations in hours rather than days. A free demo migration can provide a more accurate time estimate for your specific store.

Will my BigCommerce store experience downtime during the migration?

Cart2Cart minimizes downtime. The majority of the migration process runs on our servers, allowing your current BigCommerce store to remain fully operational. You'll only need a brief period of downtime for the final switch to your new store, typically during off-peak hours.

What data can I migrate from one BigCommerce store to another?

You can migrate a wide range of entities, including products, product categories, customers, customer groups, orders, order statuses, fulfillment statuses, manufacturers, product reviews, blogs, posts, CMS pages, coupons, stores, and taxes. Many specific fields within these entities are also supported for transfer.

Can I test the BigCommerce migration before moving all my data?

Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration that allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-15 products, customers, orders) to your new BigCommerce store. This lets you thoroughly review the migration results and ensure data accuracy before proceeding with a full migration.

What connection methods are used for BigCommerce to BigCommerce migration?

For BigCommerce to BigCommerce migrations, Cart2Cart primarily uses an API connection for both the source and target stores. This secure method requires appropriate API credentials, which you can generate from your BigCommerce admin panel, allowing for efficient and reliable data transfer.

Yes, Cart2Cart offers specific additional options for this. You can choose to migrate categories and products SEO URLs, create 301 redirects from old URLs to new ones, and securely migrate customer passwords, ensuring a smooth transition for both search engines and your customers.

What are the costs involved in a BigCommerce to BigCommerce migration?

This app performs greatly. The service is very reliable and the support is superb. The service is quite costly for me but in the end, it's worth its money. There is also an automated shopping cart migration and I'm very happy about that! I'm really satisfied.
