The Big Moment: Migrating from SAP Commerce Cloud to BigCommerce

The 10-step process, readiness checklist and data migration options are all from the guide. I also removed the note about choosing a platform, since this page is BigCommerce-only.

Moving off SAP Commerce doesn’t mean leaving SAP

Industrial manufacturers and distributors are under pressure to give buyers the digital experience they now expect: researching products, checking contract pricing, confirming availability, and reordering online. On a tightly coupled SAP Commerce Cloud architecture, long release cycles, heavy customization, and ERP dependencies make that kind of change slow.

The Big Moment is a step-by-step guide from Zaelab and BigCommerce for teams considering a move to a more flexible B2B commerce platform. It is built around one principle: SAP stays the system of record, and only the commerce layer changes.

What’s inside

• Why teams move off SAP Commerce Cloud, and what the cost of staying looks like
• What stays the same, what changes, and what improves in a migration
• A 10-step migration process, from auditing your integrations to testing checkout and pointing your domain
• Data migration options compared: the BigCommerce data migration app, CSV import, API, and migration services
• SEO guidance, including 301 redirects and what to expect from traffic after launch
• A migration readiness checklist to align your IT, digital, and commercial teams

Who it’s for

IT, digital, and commercial leaders at manufacturers and distributors who run SAP Commerce Cloud (formerly Hybris) and are planning their next move. The readiness checklist works as a shared working-session tool, so different teams can compare where they see friction.
