How our experts perform the migration.
As store owners continue to evaluate their e-commerce platform options, our expert data analysts and developers stand ready to meet the challenge of making migrations seamless and stress-free. They are dedicated to safely and accurately transferring your store’s complex data, fully supported by our committed tech and support team with consistent updates throughout your journey. Let’s begin the transformation!
Step 1
Backup your online store’s data
It is nearly mandatory to back up information such as product details, customer data, existing customers’ orders, inquiry forms, and other essential variables. Backing up will prevent data loss due to unexpected interruptions during the migration process.
Step 2
Launch and connect your BigCommerce Store
Sign up for an account with BigCommerce. Input your existing online store name, a brief of general information related to your e-commerce business, and your company profile or history. Provide a Username/Client ID, API token, and API path for your new BigCommerce store. Our support team will assist you with this.
Step 3
Select additional options for a demo migration
Before migrating, our data experts may provide additional options you can review. Carefully select the entities you want to migrate and run a demo migration to help identify and address potential risks.
Step 4
Initiate full migration and validate results
The timeline is dependent on factors like the volume of data, the complexity of custom elements, and the compatibility of third-party applications. The initial data transfer estimate covers the movement of core data; the true project duration begins after data integrity is verified.
Step 5
Store designing and development
After completing the primary task of migrating data from your Volusion store to BigCommerce, it’s time to develop and design the look of your new site. Our designers may help you in choosing a theme and our developers will conduct tests regularly to polish the UX.
Step 6
Going live with your new store
After checking that all third-party APIs are functioning without issues, our developers will notify you that your domain (the home of your new store) is ready to go live and can now accept internet traffic. Periodic tests will still be conducted to ensure site stability and a smooth UX for site visitors.
Disclaimer: When online stores migrate, actual process flows vary depending on the 3rd-party tools and applications used in transferring data. Our data administrators and developers will discuss this with you during onboarding. The above information is a general system most data migrations follow.

Is Your Data Secured During Migration?
According to migration experts, the most common cause of a security breach during a platform migration is when more than two ‘parties’ are involved. These parties may have the capacity to transfer sensitive product and customer data between themselves, compromising information security and integrity. To prevent this, Always Open Commerce implements measures that protect your online store’s data until the full migration process is complete.
