The BigCommerce ceiling
What your team deals with today
Theme customization hits a hard wall
BigCommerce's Stencil framework restricts what you can render and how you can compose pages without application-layer workarounds.
Business-to-business pricing and catalog rules are rigid
Customer group pricing, tiered discounts, and multi-warehouse logic require costly third-party applications that do not talk to each other.
Enterprise resource planning integration is a constant workaround
Webhooks and third-party middleware create fragile sync pipelines. Every new data source adds another failure point.
Multistore needs multiple accounts
Running multiple brands or regions means separate contracts, separate dashboards, and no shared catalog or inventory.
Platform fees scale with gross merchandise value, not value delivered
Transaction-based pricing means you pay more as you grow, even if the platform is doing less for you.
After replatforming to Adobe Commerce
What your team gets instead
Full PHP/Knockout theme ownership
Every layout, component, and template is code you control. No framework ceiling. Swap to Hyva when you are ready.
Native business-to-business module. No application patchwork.
Company accounts, purchase order workflows, tiered pricing, and quote management built into the platform itself.
Direct enterprise resource planning integration via REST and GraphQL
Adobe Commerce's API surface lets you push and pull from any enterprise resource planning, product information management, or customer relationship management system without middleware fragility.
Single instance, unlimited storefronts
One Adobe Commerce license, one admin, one catalog. Serve every brand, language, and region from a shared backend.
Flat licensing. You keep the upside.
No revenue share, no transaction tax on growth. Costs stay fixed while your gross merchandise value climbs.
Cost of staying
Every day you wait has a price
BigCommerce's per-transaction and gross merchandise value-based fees keep compounding. While you defer, your competitors on Adobe Commerce are building customizations you cannot replicate and integrations you cannot match.

What we migrate
Everything moves. Nothing gets left behind.
Every catalog attribute, order, customer account, and search engine optimization URL structure transfers with documented verification at each phase.
Catalog and products
- Product variants, options, and modifiers
- Custom fields and metafields
- Category trees and brand assignments
- Pricing tiers and customer group rules
Customers and orders
- Customer accounts with hashed passwords
- Addresses and default billing and shipping
- Full order history: statuses and items
- Wishlists and review history
Search engine optimization equity
Zero rankings lost is not luck. It is process. Every uniform resource locator redirect maps before go-live. Canonical tags, structured data, and sitemap architecture transfer explicitly.
301 redirectsUniform resource locator structureMetadataSchema markupSitemap XML
Third-party integrations
We audit your current BigCommerce application stack and map each integration to its Adobe Commerce equivalent: enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, product information management, shipping, tax, and payments. Nothing migrates as a placeholder.
Explore enterprise resource planning integration services →Storefront and theme
We do not port your Stencil template. We rebuild your storefront natively in Adobe Commerce. Same design language, faster pages, full customization. We use the migration as an opportunity to fix the user experience debt your current theme accumulated.

Source-platform specifics
BigCommerce to Adobe Commerce: technical translation map
Not every migration agency understands BigCommerce's data model. We do. Here is how BigCommerce's constructs map to Adobe Commerce equivalents in our migration approach.
| BigCommerce | Adobe Commerce equivalent | Migration complexity |
|---|---|---|
| Product options and modifiers | Configurable products plus custom options | Low |
| Customer groups and pricing | Customer groups plus catalog price rules | Low |
| Stencil theme templates | Knockout or Hyva rebuild | Medium |
| BigCommerce Page Builder widgets | Page Builder or content management blocks | Medium |
| Script Manager and pixels | Google Tag Manager container plus native integrations | Low |
| Channels (multi-storefront) | Adobe Commerce website, store, and view hierarchy | Medium |
| BigCommerce Checkout SDK | Native Adobe Commerce checkout plus custom extension | High. Plan early. |

How we are different
Why Redefine over other migration partners
Most migration agencies offer a generic process. We offer a BigCommerce-specific one, built from the translation maps, data models, and integration patterns unique to moving off BigCommerce.

Frequently asked
Questions worth asking
The reasons people stall on a BigCommerce migration. We will be straight about each one.
Not if the redirect map is built before go-live. We audit every indexed uniform resource locator, map it to its Adobe Commerce equivalent, and validate the 301 chain in staging before the cutover. Crawl coverage stays consistent. Stores see flat or improved organic performance within 30 days because Adobe Commerce's uniform resource locator structure and metadata handling are cleaner than Stencil's.
A standard BigCommerce to Adobe Commerce migration with up to 50,000 stock-keeping units, under 10 integrations, and a single storefront runs 10 to 14 weeks. Larger catalogs, complex business-to-business pricing rules, or multi-store setups add time. We scope the actual timeline in Week 1 after the data audit and commit to it in the proposal. No moving goalposts.
It keeps running. We build the Adobe Commerce environment in parallel on a staging domain. Your BigCommerce store takes live orders until cutover night. The domain name system switch happens off-peak, typically a Tuesday or Wednesday at 2am. Downtime during the switch is under 15 minutes in most cases.
Migration projects for mid-market BigCommerce stores start from $35,000 for a single-storefront migration with up to 5 integrations and 25,000 stock-keeping units. Enterprise scopes with multi-store, complex business-to-business, and full enterprise resource planning re-integration run $75,000 to $150,000. You get a line-item scoped proposal in 3 days, not a range. See Adobe Commerce migration cost for detailed breakdowns.
No. BigCommerce's Stencil framework does not translate to Adobe Commerce. They have fundamentally different templating systems. You get a new theme built to match your current design language or take the migration as a redesign opportunity. We treat the theme as a first-class deliverable, not a conversion of old code. See our Adobe Commerce development services for what the build scope includes.
Fit check
Honestly: when this migration is right, and when it is not
Good fit for this service
This migration is right for you if:
- You are hitting BigCommerce's customization ceiling and your developers need more platform surface
- Your gross merchandise value is growing and BigCommerce's transaction or plan fees are scaling ahead of the value you receive
- You need native business-to-business features, complex catalog rules, or multistore architecture in a single platform instance
- Your enterprise resource planning or product information management integrations are unstable and you need a platform with a larger API surface
Not the right fit
This migration is not right for you if:
- You are under $500,000 gross merchandise value per year with no complex integration requirements. BigCommerce may still be the right tool.
- You need a simple theme refresh with no platform change. That is a design project, not a migration.
- Your primary use case is dropshipping with minimal custom logic. Shopify may be a faster and cheaper path.
