Replatforming to Shoplazza: What to Expect When Switching from BigCommerce
Why Brands Switch from BigCommerce
BigCommerce gives brands a flexible starting point, but as your business grows, managing automation, localization, and backend complexity becomes more challenging. That’s when many consider switching to Shoplazza, a platform built for global growth, quicker launches, and easier ongoing management.
At Power Commerce, we’ve helped brands replatform from BigCommerce to Shoplazza with minimal disruption and maximum performance improvement. This guide outlines what to expect, how to plan, and how to make the most of your move.
Why Brands Switch from BigCommerce
- High developer dependency for design and layout updates
- Limited multi-language/multi-currency functionality
- Checkout and SEO constraints without third-party workarounds
- Expensive enterprise plans for advanced needs
Shoplazza solves these pain points with automation-first infrastructure, global commerce tools, and a simplified admin interface.
What You Can Migrate to Shoplazza
Power Commerce supports full-scale migrations from BigCommerce, including:
- Product data (SKUs, variants, descriptions, images)
- Customer records and order history
- URL structure (for SEO continuity)
- Discounts, shipping rules, and payment methods

We also set up redirects and update sitemap configurations to protect your search visibility post-migration.
