The Problem

Every Plugin Update Is a Small Bet Against Your Checkout

It starts with a WordPress core update, a PHP version bump, or a plugin that stops talking to your payment gateway. Each fix costs a developer hour you didn't plan.

  1. 01 · Plugin updates

    A plugin update breaks your checkout on a Saturday.

    Each plugin gets a Shopify app, built-in feature, or small custom code.

  2. 02 · Hosting costs

    Speed depends on caching plugins and a host that keeps costing more.

    Your storefront gets rebuilt in Liquid on a preview store first.

  3. 03 · Plugin renewals

    Subscriptions, reviews, and add-ons each renew as separate plugins.

    Subscriptions move with saved cards, and replacement costs are listed upfront.

  4. 04 · Rankings

    Years of posts and product pages rank on Google.

    Posts keep their titles, and every WordPress URL gets a redirect.

Your host emails about a PHP upgrade. You update WooCommerce, and a payment plugin throws errors at checkout on a Saturday. Your speed depends on caching plugins, image plugins, and a host that costs more every year. Subscriptions, reviews, and product add-ons each come from a different plugin with its own renewal date. You'd move, but years of blog posts and product pages rank on Google, and nobody wants to lose that.

We start by listing every plugin and what it does for your store, then pick the Shopify app, built-in feature, or small custom code that replaces it. Products, variations, customers, orders, and posts move to a preview store first, where you check them. Your storefront gets rebuilt in Liquid, and every WordPress URL gets a 301. The plugins you renewed every year become features nobody has to patch.

  • A replacement for every plugin

    Each plugin gets a Shopify app, a built-in feature, or small custom code, with costs listed.

  • Blog posts come too

    Your WordPress posts and pages move to Shopify with titles and descriptions intact.

  • Every WordPress URL redirected

    Product, category, page, and post URLs each get a 301 to their new Shopify address.

Our WooCommerce Migration Process

From Plugin Audit to Shopify Launch in Five Clear Steps

You see the plugin plan, the preview store, and the redirect list before launch. Each step ends with something you can click through.

  1. We review your products, variations, active plugins, subscriptions, and blog, plus your top pages in Search Console. If Shopify's free Store Migration app already covers your store, we'll tell you before we quote.

What's Included

What You Get in a Migration From WooCommerce to Shopify

Every plan moves products, customers, orders, and pages, and redirects every URL. Larger plans add blog history, design work, subscriptions, and custom integrations.

  • Variations and attributes mapped

    Variable products rebuilt for Shopify's 3 options per product, with extra attributes kept as metafields.

  • Customer accounts and orders

    Customer records, addresses, and years of WooCommerce orders brought over, each order tied to its buyer.

  • WordPress posts and pages

    Your blog posts, pages, featured images, and SEO titles moved to Shopify's blog and pages.

  • Plugin replacement plan

    A plugin-by-plugin list showing what Shopify covers natively, which apps replace the rest, and what they cost.

  • Subscriptions with saved cards

    WooCommerce Subscriptions moved to a Shopify subscription app, keeping Stripe, Braintree, or Authorize.Net cards.

  • Redirects, QA, and launch

    A 301 for every WordPress URL, checkout tests on real devices, and 30 days of support.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from store owners we have built and moved ecommerce stores for.

We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.

Work Culture

Why Store Owners Trust Us to Leave WooCommerce

WooCommerce stores run on years of plugins and posts, so we inventory both before promising anything. These habits come with every WooCommerce move.

  • Fewer apps than plugins

    Many WooCommerce plugins cover what Shopify already includes, like SEO fields and caching. We cut those first, so you only pay for apps that earn their place.

  • Posts keep their rankings

    Your blog posts move with their titles, descriptions, and images, and each old URL points to its new home. Years of writing keep bringing in visitors.

  • Subscribers keep paying

    Active subscriptions move with their saved cards when your gateway allows it, so renewals continue on schedule. Your customers don't get a surprise card request.

  • Checkout tested with real orders

    We place test orders with each payment method before launch, then refund them. You see receipts, emails, and stock updates before your customers do.

  • Fixed scope, fixed price

    Your plugin map, redirect sheet, and price are agreed before any work begins. Anything extra gets its own quote before we start on it.

  • Straight answers on fit

    If WooCommerce still suits your catalog and team, we'll say so on the audit call. A move should fix a real problem, not add a new bill.

Good fit

  • WooCommerce stores tired of plugin upkeep

    Your week includes plugin updates, PHP warnings from your host, and one checkout bug you can't reproduce.

  • Content-heavy stores with WordPress blogs

    Your blog brings in real search traffic, and you need every post and URL carried over, not just products.

  • Stores selling subscriptions

    You run WooCommerce Subscriptions with saved cards, and renewals have to keep charging after the move.

  • Stores whose hosting bill keeps rising

    Your managed WordPress hosting costs more at each renewal, and your site still slows down during sales.

  • Agencies moving a client off WordPress

    You run an agency whose WooCommerce client wants Shopify by a set date, and your team lacks the migration hours.

Not a fit

  • Small store, small budget

    Your budget is under $1,150 and your store is small and simple. Shopify's free Store Migration app can move WooCommerce products and customers.

  • Leaving Magento or BigCommerce

    You're leaving Magento or BigCommerce, not WordPress. The Magento to Shopify Migration and BigCommerce to Shopify Migration pages cover those platforms.

  • Staying on WordPress

    You want to stay on WordPress with a faster store. Our Website Speed Optimization service can fix WooCommerce without a platform move.

  • Plus with B2B price lists

    Plus-bound stores with B2B price lists or expansion stores are better served by our Shopify Plus Migration Services.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on WooCommerce data, blog posts, cost, rankings, subscriptions, and launch support.

  • Products, variations, customers, orders, reviews, and subscriptions all move, in that sequence. A product with more than 3 attributes gets restructured, since Shopify allows 3 options per product, and the extra attributes become metafields. Customer accounts arrive without passwords, so shoppers either reset them or use Shopify's passwordless one-time codes.

  • Yes, your blog posts and pages move to Shopify's built-in blog and pages, with featured images and SEO titles. Shopify's blog is simpler than WordPress, so page-builder layouts get rebuilt as clean sections. Each old post address redirects to its Shopify version, usually under /blogs/news/.

  • A WooCommerce move with us costs $1,150, $2,900, or $5,600, depending on catalog size, content, and subscriptions. The $1,150 plan moves up to 1,000 products and 50 blog posts. The $2,900 plan handles up to 10,000 products, every post, and your design. The $5,600 plan adds subscriptions with saved cards and a custom theme.

  • Most WooCommerce stores launch on Shopify in 3 to 8 weeks. A store with fewer than 1,000 products and a premium theme launches in about 3 weeks. Blogs with hundreds of posts, custom designs, and subscription moves push it toward 8. We schedule your switch outside promotions and busy weekends.

  • Rankings hold when each product, category, page, and post URL redirects with a 301 and your SEO titles come along. The usual drops come from forgotten blog URLs and lost meta descriptions from plugins like Yoast. We move both, then watch Search Console for 30 days while Google recrawls your pages.

  • We export every product, category, tag, page, and post URL from WordPress and pair each with its new Shopify address. WooCommerce's default /product/ and /product-category/ paths become /products/ and /collections/ on Shopify, so nearly all of them change. We load the map before launch and crawl the old URLs afterward.

  • Yes, when your cards are stored with Stripe, Braintree, or Authorize.Net, because Shopify can import payment methods from those gateways. We move each subscription into a Shopify subscription app with its next billing date and saved card. Cards held by other gateways may need an update from customers, and we flag those in the audit.

  • We rebuild it, because WordPress themes run on PHP and can't run on Shopify, whose themes use Liquid. Store Move starts you on a premium Shopify theme with your branding. Complete Migration recreates your current look, and the top plan designs a custom theme from your files.

  • We audit every plugin and gateway, then sort each into three groups: built into Shopify, replaced by an app, or rebuilt as custom code. Many plugins simply go away, since Shopify includes hosting, SEO fields, and checkout. Your payments switch to Shopify Payments or another gateway Shopify supports, and integrations reconnect through their apps.

  • QA covers checkout with each payment method, shipping rates, taxes, emails, subscription renewals, and a crawl of redirected URLs before launch. After go-live, we monitor orders, 404s, and rankings for 30 days and handle anything that breaks. You also get a short guide to the Shopify admin for your team.
