Why the Migration
Christopher Bean Coffee needed to move from Shopify to BigCommerce while creating a more flexible foundation for subscriptions, prepaid products, Coffee of the Month offerings, and catalog management. The project also included a storefront redesign and supporting marketing-content work around the new platform.
What Had to Be Protected
The migration needed to carry forward or account for several customer and catalog requirements:
Core store and product data transferred through Cart2Cart.
Subscription purchasing and recurring-order requirements.
Prepaid products and Coffee of the Month offerings.
Brand content and the customer-facing product experience.
The ability to manage a large flavored-coffee catalog after launch.
Migration Plan
The transition combined data migration, BigCommerce configuration, subscription setup, UX/UI work, catalog organization, and supporting marketing content.
- Move store data from Shopify to BigCommerce through Cart2Cart.
- Configure Recharge for coffee subscriptions.
- Support prepaid products and Coffee of the Month requirements.
- Rebuild the storefront around the new BigCommerce environment.
- Organize product and catalog information for ongoing management.
- Prepare email and blog content as part of the post-launch marketing foundation.

To all who worked on my project, JOB WELL DONE, I think my site and product pages are some if not the best pages i've ever seen. The whole team has done a terrific job and should be commended for all the attention to detail. Thank you as well for the push at the end with all these smaller tasks that you jumped on quickly and knocked out for me, that too is much appreciated. As positive feedback goes, there is never enough to go around and much of what you do goes without notice, so please share my satisfaction and appreciation with the team. I am so pleased with the outcome that if you had a tip jar I would fill it with some joy!
