BigCommerce to Shopify migration services for Australian stores that need to keep products, orders, SEO equity, and app behaviour intact through the move. Fixed-price BigCommerce to Shopify conversion services, delivered end to end, with 301 redirects on every URL.
Built here. Your data stays here.
Three stages. No surprises. Your live BigCommerce data stays untouched until cutover, delivered personally by the founder.
Week 0
15-minute scoping call. We map your BigCommerce store, the catalogue, redirect map, and connected apps that must survive the move to Shopify, plus the B2B or subscription rules that need rebuilding and the cleanup decisions to make on the way. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.
Weeks 1–N
Full migration run in a sandbox Shopify org first. Both systems then run in parallel for two weeks, every transaction, contact, balance and report cross-checked against the source. No risk to live operations.
Cutover
Production cutover on a planned window, typically a weekend. Team training, monitoring active, 30 days post-launch support. BigCommerce safely retired with full history preserved.
Every migration project starts from a set of concrete data on the source platform and ends with the same data, cleaned and validated, on the target. Here is the shape of that move.
Where your data lives today, in BigCommerce.
The same data, cleaned and validated, in Shopify, ready for day one.
What actually comes across
Moving the balances is the easy part. The work is the history: the invoices still open, the codes that do not exist in Shopify, the attachments nobody wants to lose, and the customer records that have drifted over years. All of it has to arrive reconciled, not approximately.
What has to move
Codes mapped to their Shopify equivalents, records deduplicated on rules you approve, then both systems run side by side until the balances agree. Cutover happens on a window you choose.
See how a conversion runsWhat you get
Every BigCommerce to Shopify migration is different, but here is what our BigCommerce to Shopify conversion services typically cover across catalogue, customers, SEO, and connected apps.
Products, variants, sizes, colours, images, descriptions, prices and inventory levels, all migrated to Shopify with URLs and SEO metadata preserved.
Collections, categories and tags are mapped so your store structure stays logical.
Customer accounts, addresses, order history, wish lists and loyalty data, transferred so returning customers see their full history.
Guest orders are migrated as records for reporting and remarketing.
301 redirects for every product, collection and page URL so search rankings transfer cleanly. Meta titles, descriptions and canonical tags are migrated.
We validate that Google Search Console shows no 404 spike after launch.
Payment gateways, shipping rules, tax configurations and fulfilment integrations, rebuilt on Shopify and tested before launch.
If you use Xero, MYOB or a 3PL, those connections are re-established.
Your store design is rebuilt or adapted on Shopify. We match the look and feel while taking advantage of the new platform features.
Mobile responsiveness, performance and conversion-focused layouts are a priority.
Price moves with product and variant volume, redirects, theme or app rebuilds, subscription logic, connected systems, and how tight the cutover window is. Here is how we scope it.
Tell us what you are running in BigCommerce, what must survive in Shopify, and which catalog, SEO, or app behaviours cannot break. We will tell you whether it fits one fixed-price migration or needs phased delivery.
Once catalog size, app dependencies, SEO rules, and cutover risk are clear, you get fixed-price scope covering cleansing, migration, validation, and go-live. No open-ended estimates.
If the move includes heavy catalog work, app rebuilds, or connected systems, we can split it into core store data first, then history, then integrations. Each phase has its own price and sign-off.
Why HELLO PEOPLE
DIY spreadsheet migrations, vendor migration tools, and offshore migrators all promise to move your data. Here's how HELLO PEOPLE compares on the things that actually matter to an AU SMB owner.
| Concern | HELLO PEOPLE | DIY spreadsheets | Vendor migration tool | Offshore migrators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data preserved end-to-end | 100% + validated at every step | Usually yes, no validation | Advertised complete, some fields drop | Depends on the vendor |
| Downtime during cutover | Zero. Parallel run + weekend cut | Days to weeks | Hours to days | Often days |
| AU BAS / GST / payroll fit | AU-native, understood | You own the risk | Usually generic | Variable |
| Pricing model | Fixed price, one-time | Your team's time forever | Per-record or flat fee | Per-hour + revisions |
| When something breaks | We own the fix, no charge | You own it | Support ticket queue | Time-zone gap |
| Data cleansing | Included in scope | Optional, often skipped | Usually not | Quoted separately |
| Post-cutover support | 30 days included, plan optional | None | Chat support tier | Depends on contract |
A Perth-based services group with 60+ staff moved off their legacy accounting stack to a modern cloud platform, taking multiple entities across in one coordinated cut. Chart of accounts consolidated, payroll continuity preserved through cutover, and BAS lodgement continued on time.
Read the full case studyWe had been putting off the switch for over a year. They made it painless, scoped it clearly, migrated everything, and our team was up and running in Shopify within weeks. The data was cleaner than it had been in years.
A structured process so you know what is happening at each stage. No ambiguity, no surprises.
We audit data quality, volume, complexity and connected integrations. You get a clear scope and a fixed price before anything starts.
Duplicates merged, dead records removed, formats standardised. Your data is cleaned in BigCommerce before anything moves.
Shopify is set up to match your business, accounts, custom fields, user roles, tax settings. No generic template.
Products, variants, images, prices, customer accounts, order history, SEO metadata, URL redirects and tax configurations, extracted, transformed and loaded into Shopify. Validated against the source at every step.
Balances checked. Reports compared. Edge cases tested. Your team reviews the data in Shopify before we go anywhere near production.
We cut over at the right moment and stay close for the first month. BigCommerce stays accessible as a reference until you are confident.
It depends on catalogue size, redirect volume, theme rebuild scope, and connected apps. Every BigCommerce to Shopify migration is scoped up front and quoted at a fixed price before work starts, so you know the number. No hourly billing. Book a scoping call and we will size it against your BigCommerce store.
About 2 to 4 weeks for most stores. Larger catalogues, complex apps, or B2B rebuilds can push it to 6. We commit to a realistic date during scoping, not a best-case one.
No. Products, variants, customers, orders, and SEO metadata all migrate. We put 301 redirects on every product, collection, and page URL so search rankings carry across. BigCommerce stays untouched until you sign off.
Yes. Your team keeps trading on BigCommerce right up to the cutover weekend. We run Shopify in parallel for validation, then cut DNS on a low-traffic window.
Yes. Customer accounts, addresses, guest order history, order notes, tags, and fulfilment status all come across. Passwords need a reset flow at cutover, which we handle with a branded email.
Any BigCommerce integration, accounting sync, 3PL, reviews, subscriptions, needs a Shopify equivalent. We map every BigCommerce app to a Shopify app or custom build, and rebuild the workflows on the Shopify side.
Yes. An Australian team handles the migration on encrypted connections. We never store credentials in plain text and the BigCommerce source data stays read-only through the whole project.
No. We are Perth-based but deliver Australia-wide. Roughly half our BigCommerce to Shopify migration work is for Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane stores. Remote delivery is standard.
Where people go after BigCommerce varies, and we scope the move to whichever system you have chosen: Xero, MYOB AccountRight, MYOB Business, MYOB Acumatica, QuickBooks Online, Reckon, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage 50, Sage 300, Sage Intacct, Odoo, Zoho Books, FreshBooks, Saasu, SAP Business One, Oracle and Workday. If the one you have picked is a poor fit for how you actually work, we will say so before you have paid for a conversion into it.
The parts that decide the timeline are the same wherever you land: the chart of accounts, the general ledger, the customer and supplier master, open purchase orders and sales orders, opening balances and payroll history, and how much history you export out of the old system and import into the new one, rather than leave behind in a readable archive. Hosted files, local files and vendor exports each come out differently.
If you are looking because BigCommerce is too old, out of support or reaching end of life, that is a question of timing rather than whether. It is worth comparing the alternatives and moving away on your own schedule rather than on the one the vendor picks for you.
