Migrate www.socalmotogear.com from big commerce to shopify.

I need to migrate my e-commerce data from BigCommerce to Shopify. The data includes:

- Products
- Customer information
- Order history

I prefer using an automated migration tool. No changes to product information are necessary during the migration.

Requirements Summary – SoCalMotoGear BigCommerce to Shopify Migration

SoCalMotoGear requires a complete migration of its BigCommerce store to Shopify under the existing domain, www.socalmotogear.com. The store's full trading history and search presence come with it: 148 products across 12 categories and 8 brands, customer accounts, orders of history, 20 content pages, 17 News posts, and product reviews. It also includes a complete redirect map covering all 205 current URLs, among them 82 legacy product links carried over from the original Volusion store, so hard-earned SEO equity is preserved at cut-over.

The new store will emphasize clarity, fast fitment-led navigation, and strong product presentation. A streamlined homepage will introduce the Gold Wing, Harley and universal lighting ranges, highlight best sellers and new releases, and take riders straight to the right parts for their bike. Product pages will be optimized to show fitment, lens and colour options, required add-ons such as the LH40GW power hub, specifications, installation videos, warranty information and customer reviews.

With an established catalog, a loyal rider base and an active search presence, the migration will prioritize:

zero-loss data migration (products and options, customers, order history, reviews and gift certificates)
SEO continuity through complete redirect mapping, including legacy Volusion URLs
keeping Authorize.net as the payment gateway, with clear guidance on the most cost-effective Shopify plan and processing setup
fast product discovery and mobile-first performance
a lower, simpler ongoing cost of ownership now that BigCommerce's new plan caps and gateway fees apply
Navigation will mirror today's structure: Home, Shop (Gold Wing, Harley, Other Lighting, Accessories, Clearance), Image Gallery, FAQ, News, and Contact. Key notices such as the PAH60 stop-use directive, warranty guidelines and international shipping information will stay easy to find. The site will be styled consistently with the SoCalMotoGear brand and built to scale as new SKUs, bike models or dealer channels are added.

Overall, the objective is to launch a clean, modern Shopify store that carries over everything SoCalMotoGear has built (catalog, customers, orders, reviews and search rankings) while giving the team a platform with a lower, more predictable cost and the flexibility to keep their preferred payment setup.

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Experience with both BigCommerce and Shopify
- Proficient in automated migration tools
- Attention to detail to ensure data integrity
