The replatform reality
Most migrations go wrong. Yours does not have to.
The Redefine Way
Full data audit before a single record moves. Every stock keeping unit, image, order, and customer account mapped and verified.
Complete 301 redirect matrix built before launch. Crawl tested against your pre-migration baseline.
Every integration remapped in staging first. Enterprise resource planning, third-party logistics, email, payments, and loyalty all verified before cutover.
Cutover scheduled in your lowest-traffic window with live monitoring. Your store is back selling in hours, not days.
The Typical Approach
Data exported by hand with missing fields, broken images, and orphaned variants.
No redirect plan, organic traffic drops 30 to 60 percent inside the first 90 days.
Integrations reconnected without a plan, causing order sync failures and inventory drift.
Cutover handled during peak hours, hours of downtime, lost orders, team panic.
Onboarding process
From signed agreement to live BigCommerce store in 45 days
Every phase has a defined owner, a clear output, and a preview you can review before the next phase begins. You always know exactly where your migration stands.

Your current platform
Platform-specific migration tracks
Each source platform has different data models, URL patterns, and integration footprints. Select yours to see the relevant migration scope and considerations.
Shopify to BigCommerce
Shopify exports are well-structured, which speeds up data extraction. The main complexity is Shopify's app-based feature sprawl: loyalty, reviews, and subscriptions may require native BigCommerce replacements or application programming interface bridges.
Products and custom fields
Customer and order history
Blog and content management system content
App audit and BigCommerce replacements
Shopify Plus to BigCommerce
Shopify Plus stores often have custom checkout scripts, business-to-business price lists, and multi-storefront setups. Each requires dedicated mapping to BigCommerce's native multi-storefront and business-to-business edition features.
Custom checkout logic
Business-to-business price list migration
Multi-storefront mapping
Scripts to native BigCommerce features
Magento and Adobe Commerce to BigCommerce
Magento's complex entity-attribute-value database model and custom module ecosystem require careful extraction. We audit every extension dependency before migration begins and build a full functionality equivalency map.

Extension audit and replacement plan
URL structure parity
Custom pricing rules
WooCommerce to BigCommerce
WooCommerce data lives inside WordPress, which means product data, media, and order history are spread across multiple database tables and storage locations. We extract, normalize, and verify every record before transfer.

Media library migration

Custom Platform to BigCommerce
Custom-built stores vary the most in data model and business logic. We start every custom migration with a full technical discovery sprint to document every business rule before writing a single migration script.

Platform-specific paths
Every platform migrates differently. Your timeline and scope
are specific to your source store.

Peekawhoo
Children's personalized giftingFast-growing direct-to-consumer brand built on personalized children's products: scaling quickly but constrained by its existing platform's limits on customization, backend efficiency, and organic visibility.
Challenge
The existing setup limited personalization capabilities, created inefficiencies in inventory and customer data management, and restricted visibility into performance. A complete platform transformation was required to support growth at scale.
Result
$0M+
million in annual revenue post-migration
- Higher conversion rates and stronger organic rankings
- Inventory management unified across online and in-store
- Scalable BigCommerce platform built for continued growth
Solution
Custom BigCommerce store built from deep user experience research, 650-plus design guidelines applied, search engine optimization strategy executed in parallel, and point-of-sale integration added to unify all sales channels under one data model.
The new platform delivered full personalization capability, faster page loads, improved search visibility, and streamlined operations from day one post-launch.
Why Redefine
Not all BigCommerce migration partners work the same way
Most migration pages list the same bullet points. The differences that actually matter show up in your post-launch traffic, order sync reliability, and integration uptime.

Common questions
Before you commit to a migration
The questions your team will ask in the first call. Answered here, transparently.
Most BigCommerce migrations complete in 30 to 45 days depending on catalog size, integration complexity, and cutover timeline. Enterprise scopes with custom integrations or 100K-plus stock keeping units may run 60 to 90 days. Your specific timeline is confirmed at the end of the discovery audit.
Not when the migration follows a structured search engine optimization preservation plan. Proper 301 redirect mapping, URL parity audits, and pre-launch crawl testing protect your organic rankings through and after cutover. We deliver a crawl-verified redirect report before your DNS changes.
Products, variants, images, pricing, inventory, customer accounts, order history, reviews, and content management system content. Integration credentials and application programming interface connections are remapped during the migration architecture phase. A full entity list is produced in the discovery audit before any transfer begins.
Cost depends on source platform, catalog size, integration count, and theme scope. See the migration cost guide for typical ranges by platform and project tier. Most projects are scoped after the free discovery call.
Yes. Migrations are handled from Shopify, Shopify Plus, Magento, Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce, and custom-built platforms. Each source platform has a dedicated migration track with platform-specific data handling and search engine optimization protocols.
