Seamlessly Migrate from GoDaddy to BigCommerce

Transitioning your online business from GoDaddy to BigCommerce has never been easier. While GoDaddy provides a solid starting point for many entrepreneurs, BigCommerce offers the advanced SEO tools, enterprise-grade scalability, and extensive app ecosystem required for high-growth e-commerce brands. With Cart2Cart, you can automate this transition without any technical headaches or manual data entry.

Our automated migration service ensures that your data—from complex product catalogs to detailed customer histories—is transferred accurately and securely. Experience a migration process that keeps your current store live and fully functional, ensuring zero sales are lost during the move.

  • Zero Downtime: Your GoDaddy store remains online throughout the entire migration process.
  • Data Integrity: Precise mapping of products, categories, and customer records.
  • Ease of Use: A simple, step-by-step wizard that requires no coding skills.

Your Step-by-Step Migration Guide

  1. Connect Your GoDaddy Source Store: Start by entering your GoDaddy store URL in the migration wizard. This establishes the initial link for data extraction.

  2. Connect Your BigCommerce Target Store: Provide your BigCommerce API credentials or install the Cart2Cart app to prepare the destination for your data. This ensures a secure and direct channel for the import.

  3. Select Data Entities: Choose exactly what you want to move, including products, customers, orders, and reviews. You can select all data or specific types based on your needs.

Additional Migration Features

  • Create 301 SEO Redirects: Automatically set up permanent redirects from your old GoDaddy URLs to new BigCommerce pages to preserve your SEO "juice."
  • Migrate SEO URLs: Recreate your existing category and product SEO-friendly URLs on the target store.
  • Clear Target Store Data: Wipe existing data on your BigCommerce store before the migration to ensure a clean, conflict-free start.
  • Change Product Quantity to 100: Automatically update the stock level to 100 for products that are currently out of stock on GoDaddy.

Will my GoDaddy store be offline during the migration?

No, your GoDaddy store will remain fully functional throughout the entire process. Cart2Cart only reads data from your source store, so your customers can continue to browse and shop without any interruption.

How long does the migration to BigCommerce take?

The duration depends on the total number of entities (products, customers, orders) you are moving. Most migrations are completed within a few hours, and you can track the real-time progress in your migration dashboard.

Is it possible to test the migration for free?

Yes! We provide a Free Demo Migration that allows you to transfer a small amount of data to BigCommerce in about 10-15 minutes. This helps you verify the accuracy of the transfer before committing to a full migration.

What happens if I encounter issues during the transfer?

Cart2Cart offers 24/7 support. Additionally, you can opt for a Migration Insurance plan, which allows you to restart the migration or perform data updates if your store configuration changes post-migration.

Do I need to be a developer to use Cart2Cart?

Not at all. The service is fully automated and designed for non-technical users. Our intuitive wizard guides you through every step, from connecting your stores to selecting your data.

Can I migrate my SEO rankings?

By selecting the "Create 301 redirects" and "Migrate SEO URLs" options, you can ensure that search engines and customers are directed to the correct new pages, helping you maintain your established search rankings.

The team provides the easiest data migration way.

The team provides the easiest data migration way. I figured out everything quite fast but still had several questions. After a brief phone call, the app team helped me through the process and everything went smoothly. Thanks!

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.
