How to Migrate from Magento to BigCommerce | Preserve SEO & Data Integrity with Optimum7

Are you considering moving your eCommerce site from Magento to BigCommerce? At Optimum7, we have perfected the migration process, avoiding the pitfalls of automated tools or CSV file imports that fail to protect critical data. With years of experience handling complex migrations, we ensure your transition from Magento 1, Magento 2, or any Magento version to BigCommerce is seamless, secure, and optimized for performance.

This video explains our meticulous API-driven migration process that safeguards your data, maintains SEO rankings, and improves overall site performance. From your product catalogs and customer data to custom features like search filters, product configurators, and HTML content, we’ll help you leverage BigCommerce’s capabilities for higher conversion rates, faster site speeds, and optimized engagement.

Key Steps in Migrating from Magento to BigCommerce

1. Why We Avoid Automated Tools for High-Volume Migrations

For businesses with thousands—or even millions—of product records, relying on export-import or automated tools can result in errors, broken URLs, and data loss. Our API-based approach pulls data directly from Magento, validates it, and imports it into BigCommerce, ensuring accuracy and a smooth transition.

2. Maintaining Data Integrity with API Validation

Using an API-driven migration process, we validate every piece of data, from product options and categories to customer orders and custom HTML pages. This ensures that all records are accurately transferred, supporting a cohesive customer experience on BigCommerce. Additionally, BigCommerce handles special characters and data differently, making validation essential to avoid technical issues.

3. Seamless Transition of Customer Accounts and Orders

Migrating customer accounts with their full order history is crucial for customer retention. Our process ensures all past orders, account details, and loyalty data are preserved, so customers can access their complete purchase history on BigCommerce as soon as they log in.

4. The Essential 301 Redirect Strategy for SEO Preservation

Platform migrations can disrupt URL structures, risking valuable SEO rankings. We implement a comprehensive 301 redirect strategy to ensure that all legacy URLs from Magento redirect to the new URLs on BigCommerce, preventing lost traffic and protecting your SEO authority.

5. Enhancing Site Performance with BigCommerce Features

Migrating to BigCommerce is not just a transfer—it’s an opportunity to enhance user experience and site speed. Optimum7 can recommend and implement features such as AI-powered search and filter, improved mobile usability, and conversion-optimized design, providing your site with the functionality it needs to engage customers and drive sales on BigCommerce.
