Shopify → BigCommerce Migration Questions

How are Shopify's multiple rows handled?

Shopify exports one row per image. We aggregate all rows with the same Handle into a single BigCommerce product row.

What about customer data and orders?

This tool migrates products only. Customer and order migration requires separate tools or BigCommerce migration services.

Will my SEO rankings be affected?

Your rankings are preserved with proper 301 redirects from old Shopify URLs to new BigCommerce URLs, plus migrated meta titles and descriptions. Search engines recognize content continuity.

Why Shopify Products Don't Import Directly to BigCommerce

Image Structure Mismatch

Shopify exports one row per image (multiple rows share same Handle). BigCommerce expects one row per product with images in 15 columns (Product Image URL - 1 through 15). Direct import creates duplicate products or missing images.

Field Name Incompatibilities

Shopify uses "Title", "Variant Price", "Published" (TRUE/FALSE). BigCommerce uses "Product Name", "Price", "Product Visible?" (Y/N). Without mapping, BigCommerce import fails with missing required fields.

What This Tool Does

We aggregate and transform your Shopify export: - Rows: Same Handle → single BigCommerce product - Images: Image rows → columns 1-15 - Fields: Shopify → BigCommerce names - Weights: Grams → oz, lb, or kg - Prices: Compare At → Retail, Variant → Sale - Status: TRUE/FALSE → Visible Y/N - Tags → BigCommerce categories Import succeeds with complete data and all images.
