Our Proven BigCommerce Migration Process

Atwix guarantees a hassle-free migration thanks to our proven migration process.

Step 1: Feature and Data Mapping

We start by mapping your current platform’s features and data structure to BigCommerce, identifying any needed customizations or legacy features that can be dropped. We take care to preserve your important product, customer, and order data, as well as SEO (Search Engine Optimization) data like meta descriptions, to prevent drops in rankings.

Step 2: Custom Development

Next, we develop custom features, install third-party modules, and customize the look and feel of your BigCommerce site. We ensure your new store has the exact functionality mapped out in step one and make sure everything is in place before we start migrating data.

Step 3: Data Transfer and Verification

The next step is to perform the actual data migration from your old platform while leaving a copy behind to ensure your site continues operating during the migration process, eliminating one potential source of downtime. Then, we go through all of your customer, product, order, and SEO data with our robust QA processes to make sure it moved over successfully.

Step 4: Integrations

Next, we integrate your new BigCommerce store with your enterprise software, such as CRM (Customer Relationship Management), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), and PIM (Product Information Management), to enable seamless connections. We even develop custom integrations as needed to create a unified experience.

Step 5: Launch and Ongoing Support

Finally, we handle the cutover process to ensure zero downtime for your customers and handle any questions that might arise. We can also continue supporting and maintaining your BigCommerce site, performing necessary upgrades and optimizations to continuously improve it over time.
