Why Replatform
WooCommerce is free; running it costs $1,500–$15,000/month between managed WP hosting (WP Engine, Kinsta), object + page caching, security hardening, daily backups, and plugin update regression testing. BigCommerce is fully managed multi-tenant SaaS — hosting, CDN, security, PCI, and uptime fold into the platform fee.
Most serious Woo B2B stores layer Wholesale Suite, B2BKing, role-based pricing plugins, and minimum-order-quantity extensions to assemble a workable B2B flow. BigCommerce B2B Edition (Price Lists, Companies, Buyer Roles, Quoting, Shopping Lists, Invoice Portal) ships these natively — one vendor, one release train, one support contract.
WooCommerce checkout is theme-functions PHP + cart hooks + 8–15 plugins all racing each other. BigCommerce Open Checkout is a forkable React + TypeScript application — your devs own the codebase, customize any step cleanly, and ship checkout updates without praying the next WordPress core release doesn't break payment hooks.
Headless WooCommerce typically means Frontity / Next.js + WP REST API + WooCommerce REST + heavy caching — workable but fragile. BigCommerce Catalyst (Next.js + GraphQL Storefront API + Makeswift) is a first-party headless framework with stable APIs, edge caching, and a visual page editor — a cleaner path off WordPress when you're already moving to a JavaScript stack.
BigCommerce charges zero platform transaction fees regardless of payment gateway. For B2B merchants on Authorize.net, Worldpay, Cybersource, or ACH-heavy stacks (where Shopify's non-Shopify-Payments surcharge bites hardest), BigCommerce keeps that margin on the books.
Multi-brand merchants on WooCommerce typically end up running parallel WP installs (or WP Multisite with all its complications). BigCommerce Enterprise Multi-Storefront runs one product catalog across multiple storefront channels (per-channel theme, currency, content, locale) without the multi-shop accounting headache.
What We Migrate
Field-level mapping with referential integrity — every record that drives revenue moves with you.
Products, variations, attributes, ACF fields, custom post types relevant to commerce → BigCommerce products + variants + custom fields. wp_postmeta + wp_termmeta normalized to BC's custom field + Product Modifier schema.
WooCommerce customers, addresses, marketing consent (TCPA / GDPR), Wholesale Suite / B2BKing role assignments → BigCommerce customers + Customer Groups (or B2B Edition Company Accounts with Buyer Roles). Passwords reset-on-first-login.
Complete orders, line items, fulfillments, refunds, coupons, gift cards → BigCommerce orders + native gift cards + store credit. Full ledger continuity for revenue reporting, LTV, and support.
WooCommerce Subscriptions billing schedules, renewal dates, payment tokens (Stripe Customer + Source IDs) → Recharge or Rebillia for BigCommerce with token migration. Renewal continuity validated by parity reports across 1–2 billing cycles before cutover.
Wholesale Suite / B2BKing role-based pricing → BigCommerce Price Lists (B2B Edition). Quote workflows → BC B2B Edition Quoting. Net terms + approval workflows → BC B2B Edition Net Terms + Invoice Portal.
WordPress pages, posts, ACF flexible content / repeaters, Gutenberg blocks → BigCommerce Pages + Page Builder + blog. Editorial content preserved with byline, publish date, and revision history.
Full URL inventory (Yoast / RankMath / SEOPress sitemaps, /shop/, /product/, /product-category/, /product-tag/, blog category / tag URLs, ACF-driven landing pages, CPT archives) → BigCommerce URL structure with page-level 301 map. Title, meta, canonical, hreflang carryover.
Yotpo, Judge.me, Trustpilot, WP Customer Reviews, WooCommerce native reviews → Yotpo, Trustpilot, Bazaarvoice, Okendo for BigCommerce with star ratings, photo / video reviews, verified-buyer flags, and AggregateRating schema continuity.
How We Migrate
Map every WooCommerce plugin, ACF group, custom post type, taxonomy, WooSubscriptions configuration, gateway, shipping rule, tax rule, B2B plugin, multilingual setup, and theme functions.php hook to a BigCommerce equivalent (native, app, Stencil, Catalyst, or Open Checkout customization). Outcome: plugin replacement spreadsheet, feature parity matrix, risk register.
Catalog count, postmeta / termmeta density, customer + order volume, subscription count + renewal cadence, ACF + CPT density, Yoast / RankMath / SEOPress sitemap parse. Outcome: data parity targets, page-level URL-mapping spreadsheet, 301 plan.
Woo /shop/, /product/<slug>/, /product-category/<slug>/, blog post URLs, ACF-driven landing pages → BigCommerce URL structure with 301 rules, canonical strategy, schema graph rebuild (Product, BreadcrumbList, FAQPage, Organization) with consistent @id references, hreflang re-anchored to BC Multi-Storefront when applicable.
Stencil theme or Catalyst storefront build. Iterative data loads with field-level parity reports — catalog, ACF → custom fields, customers, B2B companies, subscriptions with token migration (Stripe customer ID → Recharge / Rebillia), orders, reviews. Apps installed and configured against staging. Open Checkout customizations forked, branded, and QA'd.
Freeze WordPress writes (disable wp-admin commerce save hooks, put store in maintenance for inventory-write windows). Sync final delta (orders, subscriptions, customers, inventory) via WP REST API + WooCommerce REST → BigCommerce API pipeline. DNS flip with low TTL. Validate Open Checkout / payments / shipping / search / subscriptions / GA4 / Consent Mode v2 / pixels live.
30+ days of crawl-error triage, Search Console change-of-address, ranking and AI-citation monitoring, Core Web Vitals (LCP / INP / CLS), conversion-rate watch, subscription renewal validation across 1–2 billing cycles, B2B workflow QA, and a fix-list sprint.
Plugin Mapping
The plugin stack you depend on rarely needs to disappear — only the connectors and the host platform change. Most Woo plugins map to a BigCommerce-native feature or app.

SEO Equity Protection
Migrations that lose SEO equity lose months of revenue. Our checklist treats search and AI-engine continuity as a release-blocker.
