Ecommerce Migration Services
Changing platforms is a big decision, and losing things on the way is what most people worry about.
We’ve done this for over 20 years, across pretty much every platform you can name. We plan around your catalog, customer data, orders, content and integrations first. After that we build it, test it and run the launch.

Why move platforms
Signs your store has outgrown its platform
Ecommerce replatforming should fix a real problem, so start with what your store needs to do next.
Space to grow
Handle the larger catalog, extra storefronts and new ways of selling that you are planning.
Fewer daily headaches
Look at the manual jobs, the systems that don’t talk to each other and the clunky routines that eat your week.
A nicer store to shop
Rework menus, product search and checkout around how your customers actually buy.
A plan for your tech
See which apps, development work and running costs come with the next platform.

What's included
Ecommerce replatforming services beyond the data transfer
Our ecommerce platform migration services cover whatever we agree on during discovery, from the store and its systems to the launch tasks. You will know what transfers, what gets rebuilt and what needs a separate decision.
Discovery
We go through the current store, what it depends on, the data and what the business needs.
Data migration
We map the agreed records, move them, then check that everything arrived and still connects.
Storefront build
Templates and shopping journeys get recreated or redesigned to suit the new platform.
SEO migration
URL mapping, redirects, metadata and technical checks, all planned before launch.
Integrations
We review the systems your daily work runs on and reconnect them.
Launch and handover
Release checks, guidance for your team and the post-launch support we agreed.
What can move
What moves in a shopping cart migration?
What comes across depends on your current platform, the new one, how clean your data is and which apps are connected. Before we build anything, we confirm the supported fields and the exceptions.
Catalog
Products, SKUs, variants, categories, images and any custom fields we agree on.
Customers
Customer profiles, addresses and the customer fields the platforms support.
Orders
Past orders the platforms support, with their line items.
Content
The pages, articles and media we agree to bring.
SEO
Your key URLs, metadata and redirect mappings.
App-managed data
Reviews, loyalty points, subscriptions and other app records, where supported.

What can move in each data area, and what we check before launch.
What we check in each data areaCatalog, customers, orders, content, SEO and app data 6 areas
| Data area | Potential scope | Validation focus |
|---|---|---|
| Catalog | Products, SKUs, variants, categories, images and any custom fields we agree on. | Record counts, field mapping and sample products. |
| Customers | Customer profiles, addresses and the customer fields the platforms support. | How duplicates are handled, field accuracy and account access. |
| Orders | Past orders the platforms support, with their line items. | Links to customers and products, totals and statuses. |
| Content | The pages, articles and media we agree to bring. | Nothing missing, formatting intact and internal links working. |
| SEO | Your key URLs, metadata and redirect mappings. | Redirects landing on relevant pages, correct responses and indexability. |
| App-managed data | Reviews, loyalty points, subscriptions and other app records, where supported. | Compatibility for each app and the test cases we agree. |
Passwords, saved payment methods, subscriptions, gift balances, and app-owned data may require specialist workflows or customer action. Themes and custom features often need rebuilding for the new platform.

Search and continuity
Protecting your search traffic and keeping the store running
Moving records is only part of the job. Ecommerce replatforming SEO means your key pages stay findable, and your customers can still do what your business relies on.
Protecting your SEO
- List your important current URLs.
- Match any changed pages to the closest relevant new ones.
- Set up permanent redirects and test them.
- Go over metadata, canonicals, internal links and sitemaps.
- Confirm search engines can crawl the site and lift staging blocks at launch.
- Watch search visibility and errors once the site is live.
Rankings often move around for a while as search engines process a migration, and nobody can promise they will stay exactly where they were.
Keeping the business running
- Try a representative set of products and customer journeys.
- Check checkout, payments, shipping and tax settings.
- Test the integrations and notifications you can’t do without.
- Decide how new orders and updates get handled while the move happens.
- Pick the release window, assign tasks and plan how to recover if something goes wrong.

Client reviews
What store owners say about working with us
Real reviews from real clients.
Web commerce pros created a really lovely design for our website. They also changed the layout for our images and updated/resized images so that the site is overall much more attractive. We have been receiving a lot of positive feedback from customers on the ease of use and the overall look of our site. In addition, we are very grateful to Roy for coming up with a creative solution for allowing customers to easily create their own quotes, which has been very helpful to both our operations and our customers.

Design & custom featuresArfat and team were proficient with BigCommerce Page Builder and Shogun to create and modify pages. We successfully completed the migration with their assistance and were happy with their work. We would hire again soon for our next project.

BigCommerce migrationWebecommercepros are great web developers and good people. They moved our 1,000+ page website from our old platform to BigCommerce and did it fast and efficiently. They created all of our new artwork, 301 redirects, converted all of our products and more in record time at a very reasonable cost. We use them for all of our ongoing work like increasing load speed, updating our theme and shopping cart and site changes that we ask for. Highly recommend!

BigCommerce migrationThe team at Web Ecommerce Pros did an excellent job with our site migration. Roy and his team took great care in migrating the data from our 17yo Yahoo store to ensure a seamless transition at the time of launch. They showed excellent communication when site changes needed to be made prior to launch and also helped us choose the appropriate apps to attain the functionality we were looking for with our site.

Turbify to Shopify migrationWe were in desperate need to move from Volusion to Big commerce as Volusion was not keeping up with all the available apps and Big commerce is a much user friendly platform for a small business like ours. I was really worried about the cost but found Web Ecommerce Pros and it was the best decision we made. They gave us a reasonable price, one that we could afford to do the transition from Volusion to Big Commerce and their service was outstanding. Very responsive, listened to our needs and we were able to move to Big commerce and have our website up and running with no issue. Even after a week of having our website live if there were some glitches on a link or image etc they were still helping to fix those kinks. Highly recommend. They are a very professional team. Further more I am now waiting on a quote from them to help us set up our products on Amazon.

Ecommerce migration questions, answered
Straight answers to the questions store owners ask before they move platforms.
The service
It moves your online store onto a different ecommerce platform. What is included depends on the scope you agree, and it can cover transferring data, building the storefront, setting up integrations, SEO migration, testing and running the launch.
Ask for a written scope first. Then look for experience with your platforms, a way of validating the data, an answer on who handles each integration and a launch plan. If they have genuine examples of comparable work, ask to see them.
It can be, if the job is a straightforward data transfer. If you also need a storefront rebuild, integration changes, SEO planning or help coordinating the launch, those belong in the wider project scope.
Timing and launch
There is no fixed answer until we have seen your store. It depends on the platforms, how clean your data is, how the catalog is structured, any custom functionality and the integrations involved. A useful estimate comes after we review your current store and what the new one needs.
It can. Changes to URLs, content, internal links and technical setup can all affect search visibility. Ecommerce platform migration SEO work (URL mapping, relevant redirects, testing and monitoring) lowers the risk, but rankings may still move around.
Often, yes, because much of the preparation can happen while your current store stays live. We still need to agree how to handle new orders, inventory changes, the final sync and the launch window.
Data and apps
Not always. It depends on the destination platform, account system, payment provider and subscription tools. Passwords may need customers to reactivate their accounts or use a different sign-in flow. Subscription contracts and saved payment methods need their own compatibility review.
Usually not. Moving data doesn’t recreate your storefront or what it does. We assess your theme, apps and custom features, and they may need rebuilding, replacing or reconfiguring.
