AbleCommerce to BigCommerce
Your Seamless Migration Journey to BigCommerce
Migrating your store data from a CSV file to BigCommerce with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Here’s a step-by-step overview:
-
Connect Your Source (CSV File)
Begin by selecting 'CSV File' as your Source Cart Type in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. You'll then upload your CSV file(s) containing your store data. Ensure your CSV files are correctly formatted for optimal data recognition.
-
Connect Your Target (BigCommerce)
Next, choose 'BigCommerce' as your Target Cart Type. You will be prompted to provide the necessary API credentials or install the Cart2Cart app/module/extension to establish a secure connection, allowing data to be imported into your new BigCommerce store.
-
Select Data Entities for Migration
With both stores connected, you'll proceed to the 'Entities Selection' step. Here, you can precisely choose which data entities you wish to migrate, such as products, customers, orders, and more. Cart2Cart will display available entities and allow you to review field mapping to ensure data integrity.
-
Configure Additional Migration Options
Enhance your migration with various additional options. These can include preserving SEO URLs, creating 301 redirects, migrating images from descriptions, and more. Select the options that best suit your BigCommerce store's needs to ensure a comprehensive transfer.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, we highly recommend running a free demo migration. This transfers a limited set of your data to your BigCommerce store, allowing you to review the results and verify accuracy without any commitment.

Review Demo Results and Start Full Migration
After the demo, you'll land on the 'Demo Results Review' page. Check the migrated entities, compare them with your source, and if satisfied, proceed to set up and launch your full migration to BigCommerce. Our team is ready to assist if you encounter any issues.

Frequently Asked Questions About CSV to BigCommerce Migration
How long does a CSV to BigCommerce migration take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data in your CSV file. A demo migration typically takes 15-30 minutes. Full migrations can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process works efficiently to minimize this time.
Will my BigCommerce store experience downtime during migration?
No, Cart2Cart performs the migration without affecting your live BigCommerce store. Your current store remains fully operational throughout the process, ensuring zero downtime and no disruption to your sales. You can continue managing your store while data is being transferred in the background.
What data can I migrate from my CSV file to BigCommerce?
You can migrate a wide range of entities, including products, product categories, customers, customer groups, orders, order statuses, coupons, manufacturers, blogs, posts, CMS pages, taxes, and even store-specific data for multi-store setups. Our wizard allows you to select precisely what you need.
Can I perform a demo migration before the full transfer?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration that transfers a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-15 products, customers, orders) to your BigCommerce store. This allows you to thoroughly review the migration results and ensure everything is transferred correctly before proceeding with the full migration.
What if I need support during the migration process?
Our dedicated support team is available 24/7 to assist you at every stage of your migration. Whether you have questions about connecting your stores, mapping data, or reviewing results, we're here to help ensure a smooth and successful transfer.
Is there a way to re-migrate data or update my store after the initial migration?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a Migration Insurance Plan that includes options for re-migrations and recent data updates. This allows you to transfer any new data that appeared in your source store after the initial migration or re-run the entire process if needed, typically within 14 days of your full migration.
How do I ensure my SEO rankings are preserved after migrating to BigCommerce?
Cart2Cart offers additional options like 'Create 301 SEO Redirects' and 'Migrate categories and products SEO URLs'. Selecting these features helps maintain your search engine rankings by redirecting old URLs to new ones and preserving your existing SEO-friendly URL structure.

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.
