eCommerce migration is the process of moving an online store from one platform to another — for example, from Shopify to BigCommerce, or from Magento to Shopify Plus. Done right, it transfers all products, customers, orders, SEO metadata, and 301 redirects without breaking organic traffic or losing customer accounts. Done wrong, it can destroy years of rankings in days. The work spans data extraction, platform configuration, theme rebuild, custom-code recreation, SEO preservation, and post-launch QA.

How long does an eCommerce migration take?
Most eCommerce migration services run 8–14 weeks for mid-market stores and 14–24 weeks for enterprise re-platforms with ERP integration. Our 9-phase WebDesk Migration Method (WMM-9) defines duration ranges per phase, so you get a working timeline after Phase 2 — not after the project starts. Catalog size, custom integrations, and B2B logic are the biggest timeline drivers.
Can I migrate custom features and extensions to the new platform?
Yes. Phase 5 of our process is dedicated extension and app mapping — we audit your existing extensions, find equivalents on the new platform, and custom-build replacements where no equivalent exists. Phase 6 then rebuilds your bespoke logic, ERP integrations, and custom checkout flows on the new platform's stack with full feature parity.
Which eCommerce platforms do you migrate to and from?
Our eCommerce migration services cover Shopify, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, BigCommerce B2B, Magento, Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce, Shift4Shop (formerly 3dcart), PrestaShop, Volusion, CS-Cart, Shopware, and Hyvä Theme on Adobe Commerce. We also migrate to and from headless storefronts and custom in-house systems. If your route isn't listed, we've probably done it.
How do you ensure my data is safe during migration?
Phase 3 takes a full encrypted backup before any data moves — products, customers, orders, content, integrations — stored offsite for 30 days post-launch. During transfer (Phase 7), we validate via API and manual spot-checks. Parallel-launch crawl (Phase 8) confirms data integrity before DNS cutover. Zero data loss across our last 24 months of migrations.
Can you migrate order history and customer data?
Yes — order history, order status, customer accounts, credentials, saved addresses, wishlists, customer groups, and segments all transfer. Where the destination platform supports it, we also migrate saved payment tokens. This is especially critical for B2B eCommerce replatforming, where customer accounts carry NET terms, custom pricing, and account-specific catalogs.
Do you provide post-migration support?
Yes. Every migration includes a 30-day post-launch support window as standard. We monitor Google Search Console daily for 30 days, weekly to day 60, and monthly to day 90. Most issues surface in week 2 or 3, and we fix them before they hurt rankings or conversions. Extended support is available via our managed-services retainer.
Do you back up data before starting the migration?
Yes. Phase 3 of WMM-9 is a full encrypted snapshot of products, customers, orders, content, and integrations before any work begins. Backups are stored in encrypted offsite storage until 30 days post-launch. If anything goes wrong, we restore. We've never had to use the rollback path — but it's there.
How do I make sure my migration is successful?
Three things matter most: a documented URL and 301 redirect plan (Section 6), data validation against your source records (Phase 7), and a parallel-launch crawl before DNS cutover (Phase 8). Skip any of these and the risk goes up sharply. Our process bakes all three in by default.
Can you handle domain name changes and 301 redirects?
Yes. URL mapping and 301 redirect planning are core to our SEO preservation work — see Section 6. Every old URL gets either a direct equivalent or a 301 redirect to the closest match, documented in a spreadsheet your SEO team can audit. We also handle domain transfers, DNS cutovers, and SSL setup as part of Phase 9.
Will I lose my Google rankings during migration?
Not when the migration is engineered for SEO from day one. Stores we've migrated typically retain 95%+ of organic traffic in the first 30 days, with full recovery by day 60. Five Star Jewelers, for example, was within 3% of pre-migration baseline by day 30 and net-positive by day 90. The risk is real — but it's manageable with the right process.
What's the difference between migration and replatforming?
Migration is the technical move — data, theme, integrations transferred from one platform to another. Replatforming is the broader strategic decision: choosing the new platform, redesigning workflows, and rethinking what the store should do. Most projects involve both. eCommerce replatforming is the strategy; eCommerce migration services are how it ships.
How much does an eCommerce migration cost?
Fixed-scope migrations start at $25K and run to $80K for mid-market stores. Enterprise re-platforms with ERP, B2B, or headless work range from $80K to $200K+. Migration plus ongoing managed services adds a $5K–$25K monthly retainer post-launch. Catalog complexity, custom integrations, B2B logic, and theme work are the four cost drivers. See Section 11 for the full breakdown.
Can you migrate a B2B store with tiered pricing and custom catalogs?
Yes — B2B eCommerce replatforming is one of our specialties. Generation Pet, for example, migrated from Shopify to BigCommerce B2B Edition with 1,200+ SKUs, account-specific catalogs, tiered pricing, NET-30 invoicing, and a real-time ERP integration we built custom. Every wholesale account preserved, every active order honored, zero disruption to the existing customer base.
