How to Migrate from BigCommerce to Ordiko (2026 Step-by-Step)
A complete migration guide from BigCommerce to Ordiko covering catalog export, multi-storefront mapping, 301 redirects, schema parity, and DNS cutover.
PT3H
TL;DR. Migrating from BigCommerce to Ordiko maps cleanly because both platforms are server-rendered with similar URL conventions. The biggest decisions are channel strategy (BC channels → Ordiko export feeds), B2B feature parity, and DNS cutover sequencing.
Why BigCommerce merchants migrate
Revenue caps: BC plans auto-upgrade when you hit $50k / $180k / $400k.
Multi-storefront pricing: BC requires Pro ($399/mo). Ordiko includes unlimited stores at $19/mo.
2026 schema: BC's Product schema lacks hasMerchantReturnPolicy and shippingDetails natively.
AI search readiness: no native llms.txt / Markdown twins on BC.
React-native theming vs. Stencil templates.
Step 1: Document BigCommerce setup
Inventory:
Number of storefronts (if on Pro/Enterprise with Multi-Storefront).
Channels (Amazon, Facebook, eBay, POS).
Active payment gateways.
Current SEO config (BC SEO settings, schema apps).
Top 500 organic landing pages from GSC.
Active themes (per storefront if applicable).
Step 2: Export from BigCommerce
In the BC admin:
Products → Export → Bulk Edit (.csv) — include all attributes.
Customers → Export.
FAQ
Does BigCommerce multi-storefront translate cleanly to Ordiko?
Yes. BC's Multi-Storefront (up to 5 on Pro) maps to Ordiko's unlimited multi-store. Each BC storefront becomes an independent Ordiko store with its own catalog, theme, domain, and SEO settings. Ordiko's model is simpler because there is no shared catalog channel concept — each store owns its catalog directly.
Will I lose BC's revenue caps but pay more elsewhere?
No. Ordiko has no revenue caps. Plans are flat: Starter $19/mo, Growth $49, Scale $149, Enterprise custom. There are also no per-transaction platform fees. Most BC merchants on Pro ($399/mo with $400k cap) drop to Ordiko Growth or Scale and save 50–70% monthly.
How does Ordiko handle BC's B2B Edition features?
Ordiko's enterprise tier includes B2B-style workflows: company accounts, purchase orders, tiered pricing, quote requests, and credit-line management. Coverage is narrower than BC's mature B2B Edition; evaluate against your specific workflow if B2B is core.
Can I import my BC GraphQL Storefront API customizations?
BC's Storefront API and Ordiko's tRPC API are different. Frontend customizations need re-implementation in Ordiko's React Server Component model. Backend logic in BC modules transfers to Ordiko Server Actions. Most teams find the React/TypeScript implementation faster to ship than the original BC code.
Settings → SEO → Return Policy at the store level.
Settings → SEO → Shipping Policies at the store level.
Settings → SEO → AI Crawler Policy (default: allow GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot on marketing routes; disallow on cart/account/checkout).
These render automatically on every PDP.
Step 8: Run in parallel and QA
QA checklist per storefront:
[ ] Home renders, hero image LCP ≤ 1.8s.
[ ] PLP shows correct products with pagination.
[ ] PDP renders with images, price, variants, brand, schema (validate with Rich Results Test).
[ ] Brand pages render.
[ ] Search works.
[ ] Cart and checkout work with test card.
[ ] Customer login works (with password reset).
[ ] Multi-locale renders correctly per locale.
[ ] Sitemap accessible at /sitemap.xml.
[ ] llms.txt accessible.
Step 9: Cutover DNS
Lower TTL on existing DNS to 300 seconds 24 hours before cutover.
Change A or CNAME records to point at Ordiko.
Within 1 hour of propagation:
Submit new /sitemap.xml in Google Search Console.
Submit in Bing Webmaster Tools.
Submit in Yandex Webmaster.
Step 10: Monitor
For 72 hours, watch:
Surface
What to monitor
GSC Pages → Errors
404s, soft-404s, redirect chains
GSC Performance → Clicks/Impressions
≤ 15% dip then recovery
Bing Webmaster → IndexNow
Pings logged
Ordiko → SEO → Web Vitals
LCP/INP/CLS green
Ordiko → SEO → Redirects
Add 301s for new 404s
