If you're looking for a scalable platform that adjusts with your business needs, then a Magento to BigCommerce migration can be the best business decision you'll ever make. BigCommerce can not only help lower the cost of ownership but automatically take care of your PCI compliance while providing scalable, flexible APIs, all on a true SaaS platform.
How They Stack Up
Magento Commerce Cloud typically costs four figures per month and can increase based on demand due to infrastructure changes. You'll be responsible for the administration of the core software, handling bugs, updates, and integrations. If you don't have a dedicated team that can do this, you'll need to bring one in.
With BigCommerce, we handle the heavy lifting for you. We take care of the site hosting and provide unlimited bandwidth.
On Magento, the more you customize, the more expensive and arduous your store is to manage and maintain. BigCommerce supports over 400 API calls per second, giving you the flexibility to customize using an open API, all without complicating your store. We also have a wide range of enterprise-grade apps that can be seamlessly installed with one click.
Our SaaS platform also takes care of your PCI compliance needs while providing DDoS mitigation and fraud protection. Magento is not PCI certified, so you will be responsible for maintaining PCI compliance and security.
If you're using an earlier version of Magento, moving to Magento 2.0 will require a complete reinstall on the new platform, which means you'll need to set up your store from the beginning. BigCommerce is a SaaS solution that gives you automatic upgrades at no additional cost or downtime.
With all of the built-in value of BigCommerce's features, let's take a look at the various methods you can use to migrate your data from Magento.
