Migrating from BigCommerce to Magento

Trade SaaS limitations for complete e-commerce freedom

BigCommerce

BigCommerce is a solid SaaS platform that’s especially popular in English-speaking markets. It gets you up and running quickly, covers the basics, and requires little technical management. As your business grows, though, you may hit its limits: customization that’s restricted and dependent on apps, limited multi-store and international capabilities, less control over your data, performance, and hosting, and rising license costs.

If you want more flexibility, scalability, and control, moving to Magento Open Source with a Hyvä frontend may be the logical next step.

When does moving to Magento make sense?

Not every BigCommerce store needs to switch. But if you’re growing and your platform is starting to hold back your ambitions, Magento may be the answer. It’s a flexible, modular platform that gives you full control and handles complex e-commerce setups that need to scale internationally.

Cream helps you make this decision with honest, technically grounded advice that keeps your long-term strategy in view. With extensive experience migrating stores from BigCommerce to Magento, a strong technical foundation, and close strategic involvement, we deliver a solution that fits your ambitions.

The power of Magento Open Source

The e-commerce platform for flexible, scalable online stores.

Built for maximum flexibility

Magento Open Source gives you plenty of room to adapt as your requirements, processes, and growth plans change. Extensions and custom development let you shape an online store that fits your organization exactly.

Make your own technical choices

As an open-source platform, Magento lets you choose your own technology and the partners you work with. You make your technical decisions independently, with no vendor lock-in.

Your data, under your control

You stay in full control of your data, so you can use it freely for integrations, analytics, personalization, and optimization, without restrictions imposed by the platform.

How Cream handles your migration

Moving from BigCommerce to Magento takes technical precision and strategic insight. That’s why we follow a clear, step-by-step plan:

Analyzing your current setup

We start by mapping out your existing environment, looking at areas such as current functionality, product structure, data quality, customer and order data, extensions in use, custom development, and the technical setup of your current platform.

Functional & technical plan

We work out which functionality to carry over, where there’s room to improve, and how best to set up the new environment, including its integrations.

Migration & development

We migrate your data to Magento Open Source and build the functionality you need in a stable, future-proof environment.

Testing & go-live

Before launch, we thoroughly test functionality, performance, and data, so your online store keeps running smoothly and reliably throughout the switch.
