Redirects are the project
Skipping redirects can cost a store most of its organic traffic overnight. We inventory every URL, map or redirect each one, and monitor rankings for 60 days after launch while drops are still recoverable.
Replatforming
BigCommerce merchants usually move for the ecosystem: more apps, more developers, a checkout that converts, and since June 2026 an extra reason in the form of the Open Payment Provider Fee on stores using non-preferred gateways.
The move
Every BigCommerce store we have looked at has the same shape of risk. We plan for it before anyone touches DNS.
Timeline and price
Discovery is a fixed fee and always comes first. It ends with a data audit, a redirect inventory, an integration map and a fixed quote. The fee is credited to the project.
Timeline for BigCommerce
Eight to sixteen weeks depending on storefronts and wholesale depth; from $15K.
Small store migration
From $15K
Catalog, customers, orders, redirects, theme setup. 8–12 weeks.
Migration with Plus, ERP or B2B depth
$35K–$90K
Integrations, wholesale, multiple markets. 3–6 months.
Paid discovery
Fixed fee, credited to the project
Data audit, redirect inventory, integration map and a fixed quote. Always first.
Post-launch plan: From $800/mo. Every migration ships with one. The first month after launch decides whether the move paid off.
How we do it
Redirects, data, integrations, cutover, hypercare. In that order, written down, with a rehearsed way back.
Skipping redirects can cost a store most of its organic traffic overnight. We inventory every URL, map or redirect each one, and monitor rankings for 60 days after launch while drops are still recoverable.
Migration scripts run dry, then for real, then a row-count and revenue reconciliation against the old system. Order history is visible in the new admin from day one.
ERP, 3PL, email, reviews, subscriptions: each is mapped and tested on the new store before we spend a day on the storefront, because a store that looks right and cannot ship orders has not been migrated.
We run one large migration at a time so it gets senior attention every day. Cutover happens in an agreed quiet window with the rollback rehearsed in advance.
We smoke-test home, product, cart, checkout, search and analytics before you do, then watch orders, redirects and Search Console for two to four weeks under warranty.
