BigCommerce to WooCommerce
Move your online store to WooCommerce without losing products, customers, order history or Google rankings. We plan the move, migrate your data, rebuild your design, set up every redirect and switch over without taking your store offline.
WooCommerce runs on your own WordPress hosting. Your design, data and code belong to you, and you can move hosts at any time.
BigCommerce plans are linked to your yearly online sales. WooCommerce itself is free: you pay for hosting and only the plugins you choose.
Change any part of the product page, checkout or account area, and add features with thousands of WooCommerce plugins or custom code.
Blog, landing pages and product pages sit in one system, with full control over URLs, titles, schema and site speed.
We migrate your store data with tools and scripts, then check the counts against your BigCommerce admin so nothing goes missing.
| Data | What we migrate |
|---|---|
| Products | Names, descriptions, SKUs, prices and sale prices, stock, weight, variants and options, custom fields |
| Images | Product and category images at full quality, with their alt text |
| Categories and brands | The full category tree, brand pages and category descriptions |
| Customers | Names, email addresses, billing and shipping addresses, customer groups |
| Orders | Order history with items, totals, status and dates, linked to the right customer |
| Coupons and gift certificates | Codes, values and expiry dates, where WooCommerce supports the same rule |
| Reviews | Product reviews and star ratings |
| Pages and blog | About, policy and content pages, and blog posts |
| SEO data | Page titles, meta descriptions, URLs and image alt text |
Knowing this before you start avoids surprises on launch day.
BigCommerce does not export passwords in a form WooCommerce can use. Customer accounts and order history move over, and we send customers a “set your new password” email at launch.
Saved card details stay with your payment provider. We connect the same provider, or a new one, to WooCommerce and test real payments before launch.
Apps don’t run on WooCommerce. We list every app you use and replace each one with a WooCommerce plugin or a small custom feature.
Themes can’t be copied between platforms. We rebuild your design in WooCommerce, either matching your current look or as a refreshed design.
Step 1
We review your catalogue, apps, integrations, URLs and traffic, then send a written migration plan with a fixed price and timeline.
Step 2
We set up WordPress and WooCommerce on a private staging site, on your hosting or on hosting we recommend.
Step 3
Products, customers, orders and content are moved, then checked against the counts in your BigCommerce admin.
Step 4
We build the theme, replace your apps and set up payments, shipping and taxes, then test the full checkout.
Step 5
Every old URL is mapped to its new URL with a 301 redirect. Titles, descriptions and the XML sitemap are ready before launch.
Step 6
Orders and customers added since the first migration are synced, the domain is switched, and we watch orders, payments and Search Console after launch.
Most traffic loss after a platform change comes from broken URLs. BigCommerce and WooCommerce use different URL structures, so we:

Automated migration tools work well for a small, simple store. They copy data, but they don’t rebuild your design, replace your apps or test your checkout.
| Task | Migration plugin | WebUncles service |
|---|---|---|
| Products, customers and orders | Yes | Yes |
| Design rebuilt in WooCommerce | No | Yes |
| Apps replaced with plugins | No | Yes |
| URL mapping and 301 redirects | Partly | Every URL |
| Payment, shipping and tax testing | No | Yes |
| Final data sync on launch day | Depends on the tool | Yes |
| Help after launch | No | Yes |
The price depends on how many products and orders you have, which apps need replacing and whether you want your current design matched or a new one. After a free store audit you get a fixed price and timeline in writing, so there are no hourly surprises.
We build and look after WooCommerce stores, so we plan the store you will run after the move, not only the data transfer. See our WooCommerce development work.
The same team plans, migrates, designs and handles SEO, so nothing gets lost between hand-offs.
No. Your BigCommerce store keeps taking orders while we build the WooCommerce store on staging. On launch day we sync the latest orders and switch the domain.
Not if the redirects are done properly. We map every old URL to its new one with a 301 redirect and carry over your titles and descriptions. Small ups and downs for a few weeks are normal while Google recrawls the store.
No. BigCommerce does not export passwords in a usable form. Customer accounts and order history move over, and customers set a new password from the email we send at launch.
Yes. WooCommerce runs on your own WordPress hosting. We can recommend a plan that fits your traffic or set the store up on hosting you already have.
Often, yes. WooCommerce itself is free and there is no plan linked to your sales. You pay for hosting and any paid plugins. We compare your current monthly cost with the expected WooCommerce cost in the free audit.
It depends on the size of the catalogue, the number of apps to replace and the design work. You get a written timeline with the fixed price after the free audit.
A staff login for your BigCommerce admin, a list of the apps you rely on, and access to your domain and hosting. We can sign an NDA before you share anything.
Send us your store URL and a few details. We’ll review your store and reply with a migration plan, a fixed price and a timeline. Free, with no obligation.
