Are you migrating your store from BigCommerce to Shopify? This article explains when and why you might need to disconnect your BigCommerce store.
Sample Scenario:
You are currently using both BigCommerce and Shopify. You’ve synced the data between both platforms and have migrated from BigCommerce to Shopify in preparation for a new site launch in the next two weeks. Both platforms are currently connected.
Question:
Should the BigCommerce store be disconnected?
Answer:
Yes, the BigCommerce store should likely be disconnected. Here's why:
Double Reporting: Keeping both platforms connected can lead to duplicate data and reporting, making it confusing to track your sales and inventory.
Migration Completion: Since the customer has migrated their store to Shopify and plans to launch the new site soon, it's likely that all future activity will take place on Shopify.
No Further BigCommerce Data Import: If there's no intention to import any further data from BigCommerce, there's no need to keep it connected.
In simple terms:
If you've fully moved your store from BigCommerce to Shopify and don't need the old BigCommerce data, it's best to disconnect BigCommerce. This prevents confusion from seeing duplicate data and simplifies your reporting.
Recommendation:
If you're certain that the migration to Shopify is complete and you won't need any further data from BigCommerce, you can safely disconnect the BigCommerce store.
