Shopify to BigCommerce? Why Frustrated Retailers Choose to Migrate.
From better SEO tools to reliable support, BigCommerce helps you grow and protect your business.
Does Shopify Really Support Your Growth?
As a Shopify merchant, you may have hit roadblocks that hinder your store’s potential. You’re not alone!
Here are the most common challenges I hear from Shopify users:
High Transaction Fees
Using a third-party payment processor? Shopify charges additional fees on top of your transaction costs, eating into your profit margins.
SEO Limitations
Shopify’s rigid URL structure and limited built-in SEO tools make it harder for your store to rank on Google. A lower ranking means fewer visitors and lost revenue opportunities.
Over-Reliance on Apps
Shopify’s base platform often requires expensive apps to unlock basic features, increasing your operational costs and slowing down your store.
Lack of 24/7 Phone Support
When something goes wrong, waiting for an email response isn’t good enough. Shopify’s limited support options can leave you stranded at critical moments.
Limited Advanced Features
Merchants needing complex product options or highly customized designs are often held back by Shopify’s basic out-of-the-box functionality.
Store Shutdown Risks
Shopify reserves the right to shut down stores without warning. Imagine losing your livelihood overnight with no explanation or recourse.
Your business is too important to be held back by a platform that doesn't work for you.
BigCommerce: Built for Growth, Security, and Success
Switching to BigCommerce means you’re choosing a platform designed for your growth and peace of mind. Here’s how BigCommerce solves the challenges Shopify merchants face:
No Transaction Fees
Keep more of your hard-earned revenue. BigCommerce doesn’t penalize you for using your preferred payment processor. Choose from dozens of gateways and digital wallets based on your customers’ preferred ways to pay.
Robust SEO Tools
BigCommerce comes with advanced SEO capabilities, including customizable URLs, meta tags, and sitemaps. These tools ensure your store ranks higher on search engines, bringing in more organic traffic.
Fewer Apps Needed
With features like multi-channel selling, built-in reviews, and advanced shipping tools already included, you can reduce your reliance on costly third-party apps.
24/7 Phone Support
Get real-time support whenever you need it. Whether it’s day or night, their team is just a call away to help you resolve issues fast. Chat and email support are also available.
Highly Customizable & Expandable
BigCommerce is designed for businesses that need advanced functionality as they grow. Features like multi-storefront, B2B and global selling options give you the ability to expand.
No Surprise Cancellations
BigCommerce offers clear and reliable terms of service. Your store is your business, and they’re here to support it—not shut it down. There are no restricted products types on BigCommerce.
Migrating your e-commerce website doesn't have to be a daunting task.

Satisfied Migration Clients
Danielle was just great moving my e-commerce store to Big Commerce from Volusion. It was quite a job and everything was moved over quite well and in a very reasonable amount of time.
– Drew, Shirt Smart Apparel
Danielle was fantastic to work with, extremely responsive and made very good suggestions on features where I was unsure. Hands down one of the best tech/developer interaction I’ve ever had as a business owner.
– Cyle, Crux Prospecting
I was migrating from Magento 1.X. Danielle stepped in after two false starts, and managed the project to completion…We could not have completed this project without Danielle. She is BigCommerce’s best resource!
