Replatforming: How to migrate Shopify to BigCommerce via CSV

Migrate Shopify to BigCommerce is the enterprise data process of transferring large-scale product catalogs, categories, and inventory configurations from Shopify to BigCommerce using formatted CSV sheets.

Enterprise merchants often migrate to BigCommerce to utilize its advanced multi-storefront and custom checkout features. Shifting a large catalog with multiple variants requires careful planning to prevent data loss or broken listings.

Mapping BigCommerce Catalog Columns

BigCommerce uses structured catalog headers. Map your exported Shopify columns to these BigCommerce fields:

• `Item Type`: Must be set to `Product` for main rows and `SKU` for option variants.
• `Product Name`: Map from the Shopify `Title` column.
• `Product Code/SKU`: Map from the Shopify `Variant SKU` column.
• `Price`: Map from `Variant Price`.

Uploading the Data Sheet

First, run a local export to compile your complete product lists. Clean up formatting anomalies and check column mappings in your spreadsheet editor, then upload the file to BigCommerce to build your catalog.
