Frequently Asked Questions about BigCommerce to WooCommerce Migration

How long does a BigCommerce to WooCommerce migration take?

The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data you need to transfer and the complexity of your store. A demo migration typically takes a few minutes, while a full migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for maximum efficiency.

Will my BigCommerce store experience downtime during the migration to WooCommerce?

No, your BigCommerce store will remain fully operational throughout the data migration process. Cart2Cart performs the transfer in the background, ensuring zero downtime for your customers. We recommend pausing any updates or new orders on your BigCommerce store during the final stages of full migration to ensure all recent data is captured.

What types of data can I migrate from BigCommerce to WooCommerce?

You can migrate a wide range of entities, including products, product categories, customers, customer groups, orders, order statuses, manufacturers, product reviews, blogs, posts, CMS pages, coupons, stores, taxes, and fulfillment statuses.

It's an excellent way to preview the migration results, check data accuracy, and familiarize yourself with the process before proceeding with a full migration.

What connection methods are available for BigCommerce and WooCommerce?

This app performs greatly

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.
