Launch WooCommerce your way
Build through WooCommerce.com or work with a developer. Slynk can introduce partners who already understand the integration.
Platform migration
Move from BigCommerce without losing your Epos Now connection.
Migrate products into WooCommerce, preserve the identifiers used for matching and switch on a supported Epos Now integration without rebuilding the whole operating model.
- Preserve product codes
- Choose the sync direction
- Orders reach Epos Now
A supported next step
Replace the discontinued connector without disconnecting store and web.
With the BigCommerce integration for Epos Now discontinued, WooCommerce provides a flexible route forward for merchants who still need tills, products, stock and online orders to work together.
The migration is not only a website build. Product identifiers must survive the move so existing Epos Now records can be linked safely, then the product and stock direction must be chosen before live orders begin.
Preserve, match, then connect
Products and identifiers move into the new store.The chosen master controls supported product and stock updates; WooCommerce orders go to Epos Now.
The critical migration field
Keep the BigCommerce CODE field.
Include CODE in the BigCommerce export and carry it into WooCommerce. It provides the dependable identifier needed to link imported products with their existing Epos Now records.
Supported setup
Move in five controlled stages.
Each stage reduces the chance of mismatched products or a rushed switch between online platforms.
Before going live
- Product identifiers
- Matched
- Stock direction
- Confirmed
- Test order
- Reviewed
A checked connection, not a leap of faith.
- 01
Set up WooCommerce
Launch the new store directly or with a trusted developer who understands the Slynk integration requirements.
- 02
Connect both platforms
Give Slynk read-only access to Epos Now and WooCommerce so the product data can be reviewed safely.
- 03
Migrate and check products
Export from BigCommerce with CODE intact, import into WooCommerce and validate a representative set of products.
- 04
Complete onboarding
Choose the product and stock master, link locations and test the order route before the live switch.
- 05
Switch on the syncs
Products, stock and orders then move automatically between WooCommerce and Epos Now.
Migration connection ready. The route is tested before it becomes part of day-to-day trading.
Migration planning
Treat the store move and integration as one project.
A clean handover protects product matching and avoids discovering missing identifiers after the new website is ready.
- A practical route away from the discontinued connector
- Existing product identifiers remain usable
- Products and stock follow the chosen master
- WooCommerce orders continue into Epos Now
Review data before syncing
Slynk initially connects in read-only mode so product information can be checked before any live updates are enabled.
Keep or change the master
Continue with Epos Now-to-WooCommerce product updates or choose WooCommerce-to-Epos Now if that better fits the new operation.
Before you begin
What to prepare.
Good exports and clear ownership decisions make the migration substantially easier to validate.
