Easy Steps to Migrate from Bigcommerce to Shopify

• Export your Data: In the Bigcommerce dashboard, go to Products > Export. After choosing Default in the Export Template and File Format Options, click Continue. Thereafter, in the resulting Products dialogue box, choose Export my Products to a CSV file, and finally, select Close. Your product information will be downloaded as a CSV file. Furthermore, to export order data, go to Orders> Export. When prompted to choose an export template and file format, choose ‘Default’ and then ‘Continue’. If you want to save your orders as a CSV file, choose that option from the Orders dialogue box and then click Close. Lastly, for customer data, go to Customer>Export and follow the same process as when exporting products and orders.
• Import Data to Shopify Store: To import data, go to Shopify Admin> Products>Import. Select the CSV file and upload it. Thereafter, follow the same process for importing customers from Bigcommerce to Shopify. But, to import orders, you can use migration apps available on the Shopify app store.

All of your products, orders, and customers should be visible in your Shopify backend if the transfer went well. You can add some information by hand if it was either missing or corrupted.

• Make sure you have a backup of your data. It is crucial that you back up all of your records before you begin the transfer process, as you can’t risk losing any of your crucial information in the process. Everything from inventory to customer information to order history is included here. BigCommerce allows you to download your data as a CSV file, which is a widely used method of data backup. Keep this document in a secure location, from where you may easily get it when the time comes.
• You should sign up for Shopify immediately if you don’t have an account. There is a free trial available for 14 days. Select the Shopify plan that best suits your needs, and then hit the ‘Start free trial’ button. Thereafter, Shopify will take you to your store’s administrative dashboard.
• Furthermore, having a theme that serves a purpose in addition to being visually beautiful is crucial. Go to Online Store > Themes and add the theme that reflects your brand.
• After getting your shop up and running, it’s time to start adding more features by way of applications and plugins. With Shopify, you may choose from a variety of useful add-ons. Make sure you just add the ones you need to keep the store from being cluttered.
