Signs you have hit BigCommerce's ceiling
Most stores should not leave BigCommerce for Magento. These are the cases where they should.
Workarounds on workarounds
Things the platform cannot do natively end up as apps, scripts or manual steps that nobody likes maintaining.
B2B rules it cannot express
Quote flows, company hierarchies, shared catalogs and approval rules that go beyond what B2B Edition does comfortably.
Complex business logic
Custom pricing engines, unusual shipping rules or multi-step ordering that need real code, not configuration.
Integration limits
Deep two-way sync with an ERP, OMS or PIM is running into API constraints or forcing middleware you would rather avoid.
Catalog complexity
Highly configurable products, many attributes or several inventory sources are straining the product model.
Control over hosting and data
You need to decide where the store runs, how it scales and who can touch the code.
Magento 2 gives you control and hands you the upkeep
On BigCommerce, hosting, patching and platform upgrades are someone else's job. On Magento 2 they become yours, or ours if you hire a team to run them.
That is a fair trade when you need what only source-level control can do. It is a poor one if your needs are mostly standard.
- 1
Hosting is a decision
You choose and pay for infrastructure, from your own servers to Adobe Commerce Cloud, and someone has to monitor it.
- 2
Patching never stops
Security patches and version upgrades arrive on Adobe's schedule, and skipping them is how stores get breached.
- 3
Extensions need care
Third-party modules conflict, lag behind releases and need review. Every extension is code you now own.
- 4
Costs shift
You trade a predictable platform fee for developer hours, hosting and maintenance. Budget for them from day one.
How we handle the five hardest parts of this move
Custom modules where BigCommerce needed workarounds
The apps and scripts you leaned on become proper Magento 2 modules, written to Magento's coding standards.
URLs mapped across different structures
BigCommerce and Magento build URLs differently. We map every product, category and page and test the 301s before launch.
Data reshaped for Magento's model
Variants and modifiers become configurable products and attributes. We design the attribute structure before moving anything.
Hosting and DevOps planned in
Environments, deployment, caching and monitoring are set up with our DevOps team, not bolted on after launch.
B2B built to your rules
If you need quotes or shared catalogs, we configure Adobe Commerce B2B or build the missing pieces.

Magento 2 build
Theme and custom modules, with each BigCommerce app replaced deliberately.
- 03
Migration and testing
Test migrations on staging, compared against your live store, before the real one.

Cutover
A timed go-live with redirects in place and close monitoring afterward.
- 05
Run and support
Patching, upgrades and hosting support if you want a team to keep it healthy.

Talk to usFrequently asked questions
Why move from BigCommerce to Magento 2?
Usually because you have hit a customization ceiling. Magento 2 gives source-level control that a SaaS platform does not. It also brings hosting, patching and upgrade work, so it only makes sense when you truly need that control.
Do we need Adobe Commerce, or is Magento Open Source enough?
It depends on your required features and budget. Adobe Commerce adds B2B modules and Commerce Cloud infrastructure. Open Source can be enough for many stores. We assess your store and recommend honestly.
Will we lose our SEO rankings?
Not if the redirects are right. We map every BigCommerce URL to its Magento equivalent, set 301s and carry over metadata and structured data, then monitor rankings after launch.
What happens to our BigCommerce apps and integrations?
Each one is rebuilt as a Magento 2 module or re-integrated directly against Magento's APIs. We decide which in the audit, so there are no surprises.
Who will run the store afterward?
That needs an answer before you migrate. Magento needs hosting, patching and upgrades. You can staff that yourself, or our DevOps team can support it.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
It depends on catalog size, customizations and whether you need Adobe Commerce features, so we scope it after an audit. We work hourly, from $90/hr depending on the plan you choose.
