BigCommerce to Shopify, options and customer groups included.
BigCommerce catalogues lean on product options and modifiers that Shopify models differently. We map them field by field, move customers and orders, and redirect every category so your rankings come with you.
What moves, and how
Products, options and modifiers
Options become variants; modifiers become line-item properties or metafields, agreed before import.
Customers and groups
Customer records, plus groups mapped to Shopify B2B companies or tags for pricing.
Orders
Historic orders imported so accounts and reports stay complete.
Categories and URLs
Nested categories become collections, every old URL 301-redirected.
What to watch on this platform
Variant limits
Very large option matrices need planning. We check your biggest products first.
Price lists
Group pricing is rebuilt with Shopify B2B catalogues or an app, depending on your plan.
