Outgrowing WooCommerce? It Might Be Time to Migrate to BigCommerce.
BigCommerce gives you the tools, support, and stability that WooCommerce can’t — so you can focus on growth.
Is WooCommerce Slowing You Down?
If you’ve been running your online store on WooCommerce, you may have started noticing problems as your business grows. You’re not alone! Here are the most common challenges I hear from WooCommerce users:
Plugin Overload
WooCommerce is flexible — but that flexibility often turns into a patchwork of plugins. Managing updates, conflicts, and renewals becomes a full-time job.
Hidden Costs
The platform may be free, but scaling isn’t. Premium plugins, development hours, and security add-ons can stack up fast — often costing more than an all-in-one solution.
Security and Maintenance Headaches
Because WooCommerce runs on WordPress, you’re responsible for keeping everything secure and up to date. One outdated plugin or theme can take your whole store down.
Hosting Limitations
Your site performance is only as good as your hosting plan. Slow load times and downtime hurt your SEO, your conversion rate, and your reputation.
Lack of Built-In Features
Many core e-commerce features require third-party tools or custom development — from product filtering to advanced promotions. BigCommerce includes them out of the box.
Scaling Isn’t Seamless
As order volume, traffic, and product catalogs grow, WooCommerce can struggle. Many merchants find themselves spending more time managing tech than growing their business.
If your store feels like it’s fighting against you, it may be time for something better.
BigCommerce: A Scalable, Stable Alternative
Migrating from WooCommerce to BigCommerce means trading plugins and maintenance for built-in tools and peace of mind. Here’s how BigCommerce addresses the most common WooCommerce challenges:
Fewer Plugins, More Built-In Features
BigCommerce includes advanced features like product filtering, bulk pricing, gift cards, and promotions right out of the box — no plugin chaos required.
Transparent, Predictable Costs
Say goodbye to chasing down license renewals or surprise dev hours. BigCommerce offers flat-rate pricing with enterprise-level capabilities at every plan tier.
Security Handled for You
Hosting, SSL, PCI compliance, and updates are all managed by BigCommerce. You get enterprise-grade security without lifting a finger.
Lightning-Fast Hosting & Performance
With BigCommerce’s high-performance infrastructure (and Google Cloud for enterprise), you get faster load times, better uptime, and built-in CDN support.
Built to Scale With You
Whether you’re expanding product lines or going omnichannel, BigCommerce is built to handle growth — no custom server setups or caching plugins needed.
Less Maintenance, More Selling
You’re not stuck managing patches or plugin conflicts. BigCommerce gives you more time to focus on marketing, merchandising, and scaling your business.
Switching platforms is a big step — but you don’t have to take it alone.

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!
