Why Migrate from Volusion?
Missing Must-have Features
Do you need marketing automation, advanced inventory management systems, or powerful analytics that Volusion does not provide? Do you need the necessary tools to take your store to the next level? The answer is volusion migration.
Pricing Pain
Do you love your gym but hate paying extra for a pool you never use? That's the Volusion pricing trap in a nutshell! Their plans force you to pay for features you might not need, and as your sales climb, so do your monthly fees.
Stuck in the Slow Lane
Does your Volusion store have slow loading speeds and a messy user experience? These can frustrate you and your consumers, negatively impacting your conversion rates and search engine ranking.
Standing out is a Struggle
Volusion's storefront templates can appear generic and limited. Do you want to create a distinct online experience representing your brand's personality? Extensive customization with Volusion eCommerce can be challenging.
Support Leaves You Wanting
Are you experiencing delayed response times or limited aid when encountering problems? Volusion's customer assistance may need to catch up to your expectations.
Our Promise
Are you trying to expand your eCommerce business due to Volusion's limitations? Outdated technology, limiting pricing, missing features, and poor customer service can all impede your online store's potential. It's time to reach new heights of success by transitioning to a modern platform adapted to your requirements.
Our skilled staff specializes in seamless Volusion conversions, assuring minimal downtime and a smooth move to Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, or another platform that corresponds with your business objectives.

Explore Platforms Built to Scale
Shopify
Everyone knows that it is easy to use and very interactive. Shopify makes it a walk in the park to create an attractive online store without needing any coding languages. Moreover, they possess a huge range of app stores similar to toolboxes in which you can find all kinds of useful add-ons. Imagine it as a personal stylist who helps you to create an imposing store. Yet, high-quality styling often comes at a high price. So Volusion to Shopify migration will result in an high functional store.
WooCommerce
If you already have a WordPress website, WooCommerce seamlessly integrates, allowing you to transform your existing platform into a powerful online store. It's like adding a sales counter to your existing shop—familiar, flexible, and built for selling. So you can consider a Volusion to WooCommerce migration.
Magento
Magento offers unmatched customization options for businesses with complex needs and a desire for complete control. Imagine having a team of tailors who can craft a bespoke online store to your specifications. However, Magento requires significant technical expertise and resources to manage effectively. For business growth, you can consider a Volusion to Magento migration.
BigCommerce
BigCommerce allows you to have an integrated set of features for maximum scalability. Therefore, it can be used by businesses expecting rapid growth. Think of it as having comfortable back support that gives you tread and allows you to handle any challenge or obstacle. One thing you should note about BigCommerce is that it is less customizable than some other platforms, but the stability and power it gives you is what you need to win. So, to enhance your store capabilities, plan for Volusion to BigCommerce migration. See our Volusion to BigCommerce migration steps and timeline.

Volusion to BigCommerce Migration: Steps, Timeline and FAQs
Moving from Volusion to BigCommerce is one of the most common migrations we run. Both are hosted platforms, so there is no server to set up, but product options, URLs and customer accounts all work differently. Here is how Virtina handles a Volusion to BigCommerce migration, and how long it usually takes.
How does a Volusion to BigCommerce migration work?
STEP 1
Audit your Volusion store
We list every product, option, category, customer group, app and custom page, and export your current URLs and top pages from Google Search Console so nothing that ranks gets missed.
STEP 2
Map your data to BigCommerce
Volusion product options become BigCommerce variants and modifiers, categories map to the new category tree, and customer groups map to BigCommerce customer groups and price lists.
STEP 3
Migrate products, customers and orders
We move products, images, variants, categories, customers, order history, reviews, coupons, blog posts and content pages, then check counts and prices against the source store.
STEP 4
Design and build the storefront
Your BigCommerce theme is set up or customized to match your brand, with payments, shipping, taxes and the apps that replace your Volusion add-ons.
STEP 5
Protect SEO with 301 redirects
Every old Volusion URL, including /-p/ product and /-s/ category pages, gets a 301 redirect to its new BigCommerce URL. Page titles, meta descriptions and structured data carry over.
STEP 6
Test, launch and monitor
We run test orders, check redirects and speed, switch DNS at a quiet time, then watch Search Console, orders and 404 errors for the first weeks after launch.
How long does a Volusion to BigCommerce migration take?
| Store size | Typical timeline | What drives the time |
|---|---|---|
| Small store (under 1,000 products) | 2 to 4 weeks | Theme setup, data checks and redirects |
| Mid-size store (1,000 to 10,000 products) | 4 to 8 weeks | Complex product options, custom design and integrations |
| Large or B2B store (10,000+ products) | 8 to 12 weeks | ERP or accounting integrations, B2B pricing and customer groups |
Timelines are typical ranges from Virtina projects. We confirm yours after the audit in step 1.
Volusion to BigCommerce migration FAQs
How long does a Volusion to BigCommerce migration take?
Most stores move in 2 to 8 weeks. A small catalog with a standard theme can launch in 2 to 4 weeks, while large or B2B stores with ERP integrations usually take 8 to 12 weeks. Your store stays live on Volusion until the new BigCommerce store is ready.
Will I lose my Google rankings when I move from Volusion to BigCommerce?
Not if the migration is planned. We map every Volusion URL to its new BigCommerce URL with 301 redirects, keep your page titles and meta descriptions, and monitor Search Console after launch. Small ranking changes in the first few weeks are normal and usually settle quickly.
Can customer accounts, passwords and order history move to BigCommerce?
Customer accounts, addresses and order history move over. Passwords cannot be moved, because they are encrypted on Volusion. After launch, customers set a new password with a reset email, which we help you send.
