Moving from WooCommerce to Shopify.

We move WooCommerce stores to Shopify with their products, customers, orders and content, and decide with you what happens to the WordPress site around them.

Moving from WooCommerce to Shopify trades plugin upkeep for a managed platform.

WooCommerce stores often depend on a stack of plugins, hosting and updates that need regular attention. As a store grows, that upkeep can take more time than selling.

Shopify handles hosting, security and updates for you. A migration moves your products, customers and orders across, with redirects so search rankings carry over, and replaces each plugin with an app or custom feature.

Move, or fix what you have

A migration is not always the right answer. These are the cases we compare.

Stay and stabilise A store that works well but has a few plugins or hosting issues to fix. The maintenance burden stays with you.
Move the store to Shopify A store where plugins, hosting and updates take more effort than selling. Some plugin features need a Shopify app or a custom build.
Move the store, keep WordPress A business with a lot of content in WordPress that it wants to keep. Two systems to run, and navigation between them to design.

What we plan for on a WooCommerce move

  • Every plugin the store depends on, and its Shopify equivalent.
  • Product variations, attributes and categories.
  • Customer accounts, order history and subscriptions.
  • Blog posts and pages, if the content is moving too.
  • Redirects from WordPress addresses to Shopify addresses.
  • Payment gateways and couriers, reconnected and tested.

WooCommerce to Shopify FAQs

Do we have to leave WordPress?

No. The store can move to Shopify while content stays in WordPress, or both can move. We compare the options with you.

Can we bring our blog content across?

Yes. Posts and pages can be moved to Shopify, with redirects from their old addresses.

What happens to our plugins?

Each one is reviewed. Most have a Shopify app or built-in equivalent; the rest are rebuilt or retired.

Will subscriptions carry over?

Subscriptions need careful handling because payment details cannot always move. We plan this with your payment provider before launch.
