Data sample review
Products, attributes, customers, orders, reviews, and custom fields are checked for volume, quality, and mapping complexity.
Shopify PartnerWooCommerce to Shopify Migration Service
We map your catalogue, customers, orders, content, subscriptions, plugin logic and URLs into a Shopify store built to trade from day one.
What migrates from WooCommerce to Shopify
Most WooCommerce data has a clear Shopify destination. The details depend on your plugins and how the store has been customised, so we confirm each item during the assessment.
Products and variants
YesSimple and variable products, attributes, SKUs, prices, stock and images move to Shopify products and variants. Stores with many attributes are checked against Shopify's variant and option limits before import.
URLs and 301 redirects
YesShopify uses fixed URL patterns such as /products/ and /collections/, so every indexable URL gets a mapped permanent redirect.
SEO metadata
YesYoast or Rank Math titles and descriptions move to Shopify's SEO fields.
Customers
YesProfiles, addresses and marketing consent migrate.
Order history
YesHistorical orders are imported and linked to customers without triggering emails, payments or stock changes.
Categories and tags
YesProduct categories become collections, and tags can drive automated collections and filters.
Reviews
Yes, via a review appWooCommerce reviews are exported and imported into the Shopify review app you choose.
WordPress posts and pages
YesPosts move to a Shopify blog and pages to Shopify pages, with layouts rebuilt in the theme.
Custom fields
Yes, with mappingProduct meta and ACF fields are mapped to Shopify metafields or metaobjects.
Subscriptions
DependsWooCommerce Subscriptions move to a Shopify subscription app; whether saved payment details transfer depends on your payment gateway.
Gift cards
PartlyBalances are recreated as Shopify gift cards; codes from gift card plugins may need to be re-issued.
Store credit
Yes, after reconciliationBalances are recreated as Shopify store credit or in a loyalty app.
Coupons and discount codes
RecreatedCoupon rules are rebuilt as Shopify discounts and tested against the new checkout.
A WooCommerce migration is more than a product import
WordPress content, plugins, subscriptions, custom fields and SEO rules all need a clear Shopify destination before any data moves.
We make those hidden dependencies visible first, then rebuild only what your Shopify store genuinely needs. See our complex catalogue work for Seal Skin Covers.

Our WooCommerce to Shopify migration process
- 1.
Store and plugin inventory
We crawl the storefront and document WooCommerce data, WordPress content, plugins, custom code, integrations, tracking, and operational workflows.
- 2.
Field and URL mapping
Products, attributes, customers, orders, posts, pages, and indexable URLs receive a defined Shopify destination and validation rule.
- 3.
Storefront and app setup
We build the Shopify storefront and replace required WooCommerce functionality with the simplest maintainable mix of native features, apps, and custom work.
- 4.
Rehearsal import
A representative data import is tested for counts, relationships, pricing, inventory, media, accounts, orders, subscriptions, and redirects.
- 5.
Final sync and cutover
We agree the content and order freeze, run the final delta, activate redirects, connect the domain, and verify checkout and tracking.
- 6.
Post-launch monitoring
Redirects, indexing, analytics, checkout, customer support issues, and operational workflows are monitored after launch.
Migration risk assessment
What we review before your WooCommerce migration
We review the parts of WooCommerce that create the most migration risk and turn them into a practical Shopify scope.
Plugin replacement map
Business-critical plugins are matched to Shopify features, apps, integrations, or custom development.
Content and URL inventory
Indexable WordPress and WooCommerce URLs are grouped into keep, redirect, consolidate, or retire decisions.
You receive a scoped migration approach, major risks, dependencies, and the decisions needed before implementation.

Migration apps vs a managed migration
Apps such as Cart2Cart and LitExtension connect to WooCommerce and copy common records into Shopify, while import tools such as Matrixify load prepared spreadsheets. For a straightforward catalogue they are a quick, cost-effective way to move data.
When a migration app is usually enough
- A modest catalogue with simple products and variants
- Few integrations, apps or custom fields to carry over
- Limited organic traffic, so redirects can be handled with a short list
- An in-house team with time to check the imported data and fix exceptions
When a managed migration is worth it
- Organic search matters and every indexable URL needs a mapped redirect
- Custom fields, complex options, B2B pricing or subscriptions need deliberate mapping
- ERP, fulfilment, marketing or other integrations must keep working on day one
- You need record-level reconciliation, rehearsal imports and a planned cutover
A managed migration can still use these tools where they fit. The difference is that one team owns the result, from mapping to launch.
WooCommerce to Shopify migration FAQ
A WooCommerce to Shopify migration typically takes 4–6 weeks depending on catalogue size, integrations and design scope.
We confirm the timeline after the risk assessment, once data volumes, integrations and the storefront scope are clear.
It depends on scope: the size and complexity of the catalogue, which data needs to move, the integrations and custom functionality involved, and whether the storefront is being redesigned or rebuilt.
We don't quote a figure before we've seen the store. The risk assessment comes first and gives you a scoped approach to price against.
No. Your WooCommerce store stays live and keeps trading while we build and test the Shopify store separately. Any short content or order freeze is agreed with you in advance.
We crawl the WordPress and WooCommerce site, inventory indexable URLs, preserve useful metadata and content, map permanent redirects, keep analytics comparable, and monitor indexing and traffic after launch.
Customer passwords can't be transferred because they are stored as one-way hashes, so customers activate their Shopify accounts or sign in with a one-time code.
Anything else that can't move directly is documented with a replacement plan rather than silently dropped.
Yes. You can move posts into Shopify's blog so content and commerce live in one place, or keep WordPress for editorial content and link it to the Shopify store. We compare both options against your publishing workflow and SEO before deciding.
