eCommerce and BigCommerce
Marketing

Switching platforms or websites might be potentially risky for your search engine rankings. Most marketing experts are very cautious while working on eCommerce migration projects.

With thousands of product pages on your BigCommerce site, these migrations must be executed carefully. If the migration is done incorrectly, it can result in multiple 404 error pages. These 404 pages could cause you to lose your rankings and authority within days and destroy years of hard work.

Our specialists have compiled a list of critical data you’ll need to migrate from the Volusion platform to BigCommerce. With the guidance of our advanced execution, you can safely migrate your store to a new and improved platform while retaining all the SEO ranking authority you’ve built up over the years. We know all the technical details of BigCommerce server settings to implement 301 redirects the correct way. (Htaccess, apache, admin settings etc.)

Optimum7 staff is very well versed in BigCommerce PPC (Paid Search), BigCommerce SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Amazon, Ebay, Jet, Walmart, Shopping Comparison Engines, Inventory Management Systems, CRMs and all levels of integration.

We have already migrated more than 2,000 eCommerce stores!

Why Migrate from Volusion to BigCommerce?

Volusion was once a popular choice for small to mid-sized eCommerce businesses. But as your business grows, you need a platform that can grow with you.

Common Frustrations with Volusion:

  • Limited mobile responsiveness and template customization
  • Poor SEO capabilities (no advanced meta data control)
  • No add-on ecosystem for expanding functionality
  • Declining support and software updates
  • Difficulty integrating modern third-party tools

Why BigCommerce is Better:

  • Modern, responsive templates
  • SEO-friendly structure with advanced URL control
  • App integrations with CRMs, ERP, marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Walmart)
  • Flexible product options and variant controls
  • 24/7 live support and better uptime
  • Fully hosted, secure, PCI-compliant infrastructure

Optimum7 will help you move to BigCommerce the right way, ensuring that you don’t lose rankings, data, customers, or revenue during the migration.

Don’t Risk Your SEO – We Implement 301 Redirects the Right Way

One of the most critical aspects of any eCommerce migration is SEO. If you don’t redirect your old URLs properly, your site will quickly accumulate 404 errors, and search engines will drop your rankings.

Optimum7 prevents this. We:

  • Map every old URL to its new BigCommerce equivalent
  • Implement 301 redirects using BigCommerce’s native tools or advanced Apache settings
  • Preserve SEO metadata across product/category pages
  • Validate redirect functionality with post-launch QA
  • Run crawl simulations to catch potential missed pages

Want to maintain your search rankings after migrating from Volusion? Our BigCommerce SEO team makes sure you retain and even improve your online visibility.

Custom Functionality Options

Your new BigCommerce store should do more than just look good — it should work better than your old one. During the migration, we offer custom enhancements tailored to your needs.

Some of our optional upgrades include:

  • Parent-Child Product Reorganization
    Re-structure inventory to improve filtering and user experience.

  • Watermarked Image Transfers
    Protect your images with branded watermarks as they’re migrated.

  • Bulk HTML Cleanup
    Strip old, messy HTML from product/category descriptions.

  • Custom App Integrations
    Sync with CRMs, ERPs, accounting tools, or POS systems.

  • Product Schema Markup
    Boost rich results in Google with JSON-LD implementation.

Why Other Migration Solutions Fall Short

While there are several tools and automated services available for migrating from Volusion to BigCommerce, most fail to address the real-world complexities and risks involved in a full eCommerce platform transition. These gaps can lead to broken functionality, SEO losses, data inconsistencies, and poor user experience if not handled properly.

Common Gaps in Other Migration Approaches

  • Limited Data Scope
    Many solutions only migrate basic product, order, and customer data. Critical elements like blog content, CMS pages, SEO metadata, and structured product relationships are often excluded.
  • No Support for Multi-Storefronts or Complex Catalogs
    Businesses with multiple storefronts or advanced product structures (like parent/child hierarchies) may find that automated tools cannot handle these nuances, resulting in an incomplete or disorganized catalog on the new platform.
  • Lack of SEO Preservation
    Without proper planning, URL structures can change, 301 redirects may be misconfigured, and metadata can be lost—all of which can destroy years of SEO authority. Many migrations overlook this entirely.
  • No Design or Functional Feature Migration
    Automated systems generally do not support the migration of design layouts, custom-built features, or third-party app integrations. These must often be rebuilt from scratch post-migration, adding time and cost.
  • No Post-Migration QA or Support
    Once the data is moved, many services offer little to no quality assurance or ongoing support. Any broken links, layout issues, or customer login problems are left for the business owner to troubleshoot on their own.
  • Security Concerns and Technical Complexity
    Some options require users to handle API credentials and setup themselves, which can pose both usability and security challenges for non-technical teams. Additionally, sensitive data such as passwords and payment tokens often cannot be migrated and must be reset.
