Shopify to WooCommerce Migration
Shopify to WooCommerce Migration
We move Shopify stores to WooCommerce by turning your catalogue, apps and checkout into a WordPress shop your team can run. Hosting, updates and backups become part of the same plan, because Shopify no longer looks after them for you.
Before we promise any route, we check what your Shopify store can export and what lives only inside apps.
01Choose
Choose what you want to change
Pick one part, several parts or the full move. The plan that appears is a starting point for the call, not a quote.
Where this startsOur store is on Shopify, but we want more control and it needs to sit inside our WordPress site. I am not sure what will come with us.
In plain terms
- Staging copy
- A private duplicate of the new shop used for testing before launch.
- Redirect
- An instruction that sends visitors from an old address to the new one.
- Variation
- A WooCommerce product choice, such as a size in a colour, with its own price and stock.
02Decide
What does your Shopify store hold?
Shopify's product file repeats a URL handle (the last part of a product address) on every variant row and lists images one per row. That layout is a good start, but it does not show what your apps store.
If your Shopify store has
Images attached to single variants
Then the WooCommerce plan includes
Each image reattached to the right variation and viewed on the product page
If your Shopify store has
Reviews, wishlists or loyalty points held in an app
Then the WooCommerce plan includes
A request to the app provider for an export, and a WooCommerce extension to display them
If your Shopify store has
Gift cards and discount codes
Then the WooCommerce plan includes
A decision on whether balances carry on, are honoured another way or are closed
If your Shopify store has
Customer accounts
Then the WooCommerce plan includes
A reset email, because we do not assume Shopify passwords can travel
03Rebuild
What needs rebuilding in WordPress
The Shopify theme does not move. We build a WordPress and WooCommerce design that follows the layouts you want to keep, using the old store as a reference rather than a template to copy.
- Checkout is the largest change. Payment gateways, tax rules, shipping zones and order emails are set up fresh in WooCommerce. We also settle who handles the new responsibilities: a hosting plan, plugin updates, backups and security checks. We cover the build in WooCommerce Development and the continuing care in Ecommerce Management.
- Orders placed while the new shop is being built need a plan too. We agree a stopping point for the Shopify store and a final import of anything placed since the sample run.
04Test
Test a three-option product and a refund
We rehearse on a staging copy (a private duplicate of the site used for testing) before any customer sees it.
- Take a product with three options and a variant image, and compare every combination, price and stock figure with Shopify.
- Add an item that depends on an app today, such as a custom engraving field, and check it reaches the order.
- Place a test order with each payment gateway, to a delivery address in every shipping zone you serve.
- Refund part of the order and confirm stock, emails and the customer record update.
- Ask a member of staff to edit a price and a product description without help.
05Launch
Keep Shopify addresses useful at launch
Shopify product and collection addresses will differ from WooCommerce ones, so we map each important old address to a new page and set up redirects (instructions that send visitors from the old address to the new).
- Keep your Shopify plan active until the new shop is approved and the domain has changed.
- We then monitor search performance and incoming orders; the move does not promise unchanged rankings.
Questions about Shopify to WooCommerce
Can I bring my Shopify theme with me?
No. Themes are built for Shopify, so the design is rebuilt for WordPress. We agree which parts of the look stay familiar.
Will WooCommerce remove my monthly running costs?
No. Hosting, extensions, payment fees and care still need paying for, and we review them for your setup.
Does the order history come across?
It depends on what your Shopify export contains. We check the export first and say what can be imported and what should be archived.
Can you look after the store afterwards?
Yes. Ongoing management can be scoped separately from the build.
