How to Migrate from BigCommerce to WooCommerce?
So, if you wish to move data from BigCommerce to WooCommerce store automatedly, we recommend you to follow these simple steps:
Review the BigCommerce Store
It is essential to go through your store, check all the data's relevance and correctness, and delete everything outdated and no longer needed. Also, even though Cart2Cart doesn't remove any of the store's information, we advise you to save it to any of the internal devices.
Additionally, you may calculate the price of the given replatforming using our Migration Estimator.
Configure the WooCommerce Store
Create a WordPress account, download the WooCommerce Plugin, and install it.
If you haven’t made the final decision concerning your future platform, try the Migration Preview Service and transfer a limited amount of data to Cart2Cart’s test store. But, please, note that it will be available online only for three days.
Simplify your migration process with the Cart2Cart: BigCommerce to WooCommerce Migration plugin.
Set up Source & Target Carts
To configure your Target Cart, select BigCommerce from the pop-up menu. Provide its URL and other required credentials (client ID, access token, and API path). Please, read our FAQ for further details.
Next, choose WooCommerce as your Target Cart, copy all the necessary information (admin URL, login, and password) to the respective fields, and proceed to the further stage by clicking the "Choose entities" button.
Select the Desired Data Entities
Now, you have to decide which data will be moved from BigCommerce to the WooCommerce store. Tick the "Select all" box or choose from the list of supported entities:
- Products (reviews, categories, manufacturers, taxes)
- Customers (orders)
- Blogs (posts)
- Coupons

Explore Additional Migration Options
At this stage, you're offered an opportunity to make the migration process even more comfortable by choosing some of the advanced settings (this step is non-compulsory):
- It is possible to redirect products and categories URLs from your current store to the future one with the help of “Create 301 redirects on your target store after migration” option. But keep in mind that migration to the WooCommerce requires the installment of a free plugin - “Redirection.”
- Also, you can preserve your BigCommerce store order IDs by choosing the “Preserve order IDs on Target Store” option and installing the additional free WooCommerce Sequential Order Number extension.
Perform Data Mapping
The next step in the Migration Wizard is data mapping. It will assist you in matching the BigCommerce order statuses and customer groups to the corresponding WooCommerce custom order statuses and customer groups store.
Also, bear in mind that order statuses mapping requires you to set up the free YITH WooCommerce Custom Order Status plugin before the migration.
Start Demo Migration
This stage is also optional, but we recommend you not to skip it. The Demo Migration is entirely free and lets you move up to 30 data entities from the BigCommerce store to the WooCommerce in just 30 minutes. Hence, you will try the service in action and will be able to check how your store looks on a new platform.
Another essential thing to keep in mind - do not close your browser window while the data transfer is still in process.

Continue with the Full Migration
If the Demo Migration results lived up to your expectations, do not hesitate to run a Full migration of your store from BigCommerce to WooCommerce. It is safe to close your browser window now and return to ordinary business activities.
Post-Migration Suggestions
Once you've received an email notification that the Full migration of your store is finished, feel free to:
- Go through your store and check it for the standard errors, register new users, carry out test shopping.
- Enhance its overall look and productivity by installing WooCommerce themes and extensions.
- Transfer all the new data (in case it has occurred on the BigCommerce store during the replatforming) with the help of our Recent Data Migration service.

My migration from BigCommerce to WooCommerce was so easy, so time-saving, and so successful that I can’t believe all that work was done with one click!
Thanks to Cart2Cart for a fantastic service. Totally recommended!

So now I have a perfect copy of my Shopify store on my Woocommerce platform. All within 2 days and I didn’t have to code anything – the migration took just a few clicks – fully automated. Ok, that’s it I just like when I see somebody really care about your business so I felt like I’d let the world know about my experience with this company

I had a lot of pre-sales questions about the plugin and the migration. The service provided was absolutely perfect, quick and in-depth responses. My final migration has just finished and it did so in 27 minutes to be precise. If you are looking for the perfect, headache-free tool for your (in my case Magento to Woocommerce) migration, look no further, THIS IS IT! For those who expected such a plugin to be for free, are you kidding me?!?!

I’ve used the service/software for two website migrations (ZenCart to WooCommerce). The second one failed, also because of my own error, but the supprt was great and Cart2Cart team helped getting it all working flawless.
Very impressed by this software and even more by the aftersales support. Will use again when needed.

I moved a site from Jigoshop Version 2 (the jigoshop upgrade from v1 to v2 was poor) to WooCommerce and I am very happy with the results. My original Jigoshop site had been hacked so it wasn’t ideal, but Cart to Cart were very helpful and their support was very good. 🙂

Excellent Support for the non expert who needs a lot of assistance they spent as much time as I needed to insure I got my migration. The upload went well after the Demo. Customer service was there when I had questions or issues to fine tune after purchase. I would recommend if you need to import / migrate your Products from Shopify to Woocommerce in Word Press as I did.

Company went above and beyond to handle the migration, even doing 2 additional trials to get it right.
The project was involved as it had a large product count, user count, and orders going back 5 years. This involved doing the CMS and Shopping cart migration from Drupal / Ubercart to WordPress / Woocommerce.
I had the new site up the same day as the migration and only had to do some fine tuning, menus setup, and correct some links.
Pleasure to have a second migration done with this company.

Tried to do the data migration myself and failed even after spending so many hours attempting different things. With Cart2Cart the data import from 3dcart to WooCommerce was quick and easy. Support response time was great and replies were really helpful. Definitely worth the cost and it saved me many more headaches
Review source
I needed to migrate a lot of product data (title, price, description, images) from an old Mojishop installation on Joomla to a new shop system based on Woocommerce on WordPress. The setup was very easy (you need FTP access on your webspace).
Before you pay for the great service you can make several test migrations. It turned out there were some product information missing on the new system, because my data base had a custom name. I did not find out this by my own.
So I contacted the customer support of Cart2Cart. I got immediately help and two days later a custom solution for my problem.
This is a service! Thanks a lot.
