Let us show you proven strategies to optimize your Shopify business:
BigCommerce to Shopify Migration
You are not fighting your platform's pricing. You are fighting its product model.
Why merchants leave BigCommerce
Option sets, rules, and modifiers make sense until your catalog gets complicated, and then you are maintaining logic instead of products. Shopify's model is simpler, and where it is genuinely too simple, metafields and apps close the gap without rules engines.
Stencil is fine. The talent pool around it is not. Finding someone who can competently change your BigCommerce theme is harder and more expensive than finding the same for Shopify, and that shows up in every quote you get.
Whatever you want to bolt on, there are more, better-maintained, and better-supported options on Shopify. That is not a knock on BigCommerce, it is a market-size fact you pay for every time you need something.
Shopify's checkout converts, Shop Pay exists, and you are not negotiating for access to it.
Your category tree does not map one to one onto collections. Done carelessly this is where merchants lose traffic. Done properly, automated collections do work your category tree never could.
What comes with you
Your whole catalog, including option sets, images, and the metafields your theme depends on.
Accounts move across. Passwords cannot come with you on any platform, so customers set a new one on first login. We handle the messaging.
Historical orders come with you, so support and returns do not lose their paper trail. Naväge brought more than a decade of it across.
Pages, posts, and the URLs they live on.
Built by hand, approved by you, live at cutover. This is the whole SEO story of a migration.
THE PART EVERYONE IS AFRAID OF
Will this wreck my SEO?
This is the question that stalls most migrations, and it deserves a straight answer: a migration hurts your SEO when the redirects are an afterthought. So we do them first.
On a BigCommerce move the risk concentrates in your category URLs, because that is where the traffic and the structural change overlap. Every URL gets mapped to its destination and reviewed by you before we build. At cutover the 301s go live with the store. After launch we watch Search Console with you while it settles.

HOW A MIGRATION RUNS
CONSULTATION + STRATEGY
We look at your current store, your catalog, and your traffic, then tell you what the move actually involves. If a migration is the wrong call for you right now, we will say so on the call.
CATALOG + DATA AUDIT
Products, variants, customers, order history, and content get inventoried before anything moves. This is where the surprises live: the option set that does not map cleanly, the 12 years of orders, the blog nobody remembered.
REDIRECT MAPPING
Every old URL gets mapped to its new home. This is the step DIY migrations skip and it is why they bleed traffic. You approve the map before we build.
BUILD + DATA MIGRATION
Your store gets built on a fast Shopify 2.0 foundation and your data moves into it. You are looking at a real store with your real products in it, not a demo.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Usability, browsers, broken links, checkout, and every redirect in the map. We break it so your customers do not.
LAUNCH
Supervised go-live with the redirects switched on at cutover. WheelWiz took their first order 3 hours after launch.
SUPPORT
30 days of post-launch support included, and we watch Search Console with you while the redirects settle. Retainers available when you want us to stick around.
