Migrate from Shopify to BigCommerce

This condensed, 45-page guide gives you ultimate confidence to achieve success in a migration.

Get the facts, in short order—45 pages of short.

The story

Shopify and BigCommerce have many similarities. Because of Shopify's marketing investment, they have gained the greater market share. But, we must ask ourselves, "is Shopify the better option?" The answer, as always, is "it depends".

We, at SwiftOtter, do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, every merchant is different and must be treated with the same diligent care. We have empowered merchants to be highly equipped since 2018. Out of this comes our 45 pages of easy reading with the goal of understanding the avenues in which BigCommerce could bring value to your business.

We have compacted the 112 features and how they are implemented on both Shopify and BigCommerce into 21 pages. The rest is divided into our time-tested SwiftOtter Migration Methodology and a 7-page feature discovery document.

Instead of spending $10,000+ on a platform discovery process, much of the work has been distilled into this ebook—for free.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) has gained tremendous popularity with merchants in recent times. Merchants are looking for a stable website that is highly performance with minimal maintenance costs. SaaS generally delivers on these promises.

BigCommerce is a frontrunner in the battle of platforms. It is squarely positioned between traditional, less-flexible, locked-down SaaS platforms and the high TCO, expensive-to-maintain open-source systems. BigCommerce's idea is "Open SaaS". Developers can tap into their API to create custom experiences or leverage the already-built systems that BigCommerce has already created.

Why do you ask for my email?

Platform discoveries often cost $10,000 or more. A significant part of this is mapping business requirements to native support. This book puts that process into concrete terms.

Of course, we can help you make this decision as we have built an even more condensed version of this document.

An Introduction to SwiftOtter

As you can see with this guidebook, SwiftOtter believes in education and enablement (we have also built a significant training practice). Getting into a full-site migration may seem scary.

But with us at SwiftOtter, it's not. We will walk you through the process you will read about in this quickstart guide.

  • We learn the key points of your needs and give you a rough order of magnitude for cost and timeline.
  • We enter a paid discovery to understand what needs to be built: the scope.
  • Once we agree on the scope (price), we begin work.
  • We involve you through the development process to ensure it's exactly as you need.
