BigCommerce to WooCommerce
Your BigCommerce to WooCommerce Migration in 4 Simple Steps
Migrating your store data with Cart2Cart is designed to be intuitive and efficient. Follow these steps to ensure a successful transfer:
-
1. Connect Your Source BigCommerce Store
Begin by selecting BigCommerce as your source platform in the Cart2Cart Migration Wizard. You'll need to provide API credentials to establish a secure connection, allowing our system to access your store's data for migration.
-
2. Connect Your Target WooCommerce Store
Next, choose WooCommerce as your target platform. Cart2Cart offers multiple secure connection methods for WooCommerce, including API access credentials, automatic bridge upload via admin access, or manual FTP/SFTP bridge upload. Select the method that best suits your setup and provide the necessary details.
-
3. Select Data Entities & Configure Options
Once both stores are connected, you'll proceed to select the specific data entities you wish to migrate (e.g., products, customers, orders). This step also allows you to configure additional migration options, such as preserving SEO URLs, migrating customer passwords, or creating 301 redirects, to tailor the transfer to your exact needs.
-
4. Run Demo & Start Full Migration
Before initiating the full migration, we highly recommend running a free Demo Migration. This transfers a limited set of data, allowing you to review the results on your new WooCommerce store and ensure everything is transferred correctly. Once satisfied, you can proceed with the Full Migration, and our system will handle the complete data transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions about BigCommerce to WooCommerce Migration
How long does a BigCommerce to WooCommerce migration take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data you need to transfer and the complexity of your store. A demo migration typically takes a few minutes, while a full migration can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for maximum efficiency.
Will my BigCommerce store experience downtime during the migration to WooCommerce?
No, your BigCommerce store will remain fully operational throughout the data migration process. Cart2Cart performs the transfer in the background, ensuring zero downtime for your customers. We recommend pausing any updates or new orders on your BigCommerce store during the final stages of full migration to ensure all recent data is captured.
What types of data can I migrate from BigCommerce to WooCommerce?
You can migrate a wide range of entities, including products, product categories, customers, customer groups, orders, order statuses, manufacturers, product reviews, blogs, posts, CMS pages, coupons, stores, taxes, and fulfillment statuses. For a detailed list of supported fields for each entity, please refer to the "What Data Can You Migrate" section above.
Can I perform a test migration before committing to a full BigCommerce to WooCommerce transfer?
Yes, Cart2Cart offers a free Demo Migration feature. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities to your target WooCommerce store or a Cart2Cart-provided test store. It's an excellent way to preview the migration results, check data accuracy, and familiarize yourself with the process before proceeding with a full migration.
What connection methods are available for BigCommerce and WooCommerce?
