BigCommerce to Shopify Migration in Lisburn
Moving Lisburn retailers from BigCommerce to Shopify, where the catalogue is what needs checking first. BigCommerce handles product options more generously than Shopify does, so a store built around many option combinations can find that products which worked perfectly well simply do not fit the destination.
Why this comes up
The problem
Several products carry option combinations that exceed what the destination platform supports per product.
What you get
What we deliver
- Catalogue audited against Shopify's option and variant limits before committing
- Products exceeding the limits restructured or handled through an alternative
- Custom fields mapped to metafields rather than discarded during import
- Customer records and order history migrated for service continuity
- URL structures mapped, since the two platforms use different conventions
- Price lists and customer group pricing assessed against what Shopify supports

BigCommerce to Shopify Migration in Lisburn — common questions
- What is the variant problem?
- Shopify caps how many options and combinations a single product can have, and BigCommerce is more permissive. A configurable product with several option sets can therefore exceed what Shopify accepts, which is a catalogue restructuring exercise rather than an import setting.
- How is that resolved?
- Usually by splitting products, reducing options to those customers actually choose between, or using an app for genuine configurators. Each has consequences for merchandising and search, so it is a decision to make deliberately rather than at import time.
- What about customer group pricing?
- BigCommerce's price lists have no direct equivalent on standard Shopify. Businesses relying on them for trade or wholesale customers need either a higher tier, an app or a separate arrangement — and that cost belongs in the comparison from the start.
- Will search rankings be affected?
- Only if redirects are neglected. Both platforms impose their own URL conventions, so almost every product and category address changes — mapping each old address to its new one before the switch is what keeps the accumulated search value with the store.
- Do you work with businesses across County Antrim?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Northern Ireland, including Lisburn and the surrounding County Antrim area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Lisburn businesses do you usually work with?
- Retail and light manufacturing systems for businesses serving the greater Belfast catchment. Beyond that we work across Manufacturing, Retail, Logistics, Food Production and Professional Services.
- Do you cover the areas around Lisburn?
- Yes — we work throughout Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Newry, Bangor. Lisburn is an urban area of roughly 120,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Antrim region rather than the city boundary alone.
