WooCommerce to Shopify Migration Services

Every migration starts with understanding how your store works right now. We go through the current setup — active plugins, product data, URL structure, SEO configuration — to see how it all connects behind the scenes. AI tooling helps surface gaps quickly, but nothing rides on automation alone; each piece gets a manual review, so your data, structure, and functionality are properly lined up before the move to Shopify.

A move to Shopify is often the moment brands rethink the storefront. Some take the chance to redesign for better mobile performance and faster load times; others want to keep their current look but have it run better. We’ll help you pick the right Shopify theme or build a custom layout to your brand guidelines — and if you’d rather keep the existing design exactly, we can recreate it inside Shopify too.

Next, we set up a Shopify development store — through our Partner account, so you’re not paying for a plan mid-build — and recreate the features your business runs on. We go through the WooCommerce setup in detail: filters, product variants, pricing rules, memberships, wholesale logic, any connected tools, so nothing slips through when it’s rebuilt in Shopify. Shipping, taxes, and payment gateways get configured ahead of time, so the store is ready to operate before any data moves over.

With the store built, the data comes across. We usually run this through a trusted migration stack — tools like LitExtension or Cart2Cart for standard catalogs, and Matrixify when a migration is large or complex and needs bulk control over how data maps. These connect directly to WooCommerce and move products, customer accounts, and past orders into Shopify. Once the transfer finishes, our team reviews the data by hand inside Shopify: products, collections, orders, and customer accounts all get checked to confirm everything came over correctly.

URLs change when you replatform from WooCommerce to Shopify — WooCommerce builds them around categories, Shopify follows its own /products/ and /collections/ pattern — and if the old links aren’t handled, search engines keep hitting pages that no longer exist. So before launch we pull and review the existing WooCommerce URLs and connect each one to its closest Shopify match with a 301 redirect. At the same time, the SEO details from the old site — titles, descriptions, image alt text, schema — carry over, so the new store keeps the signals search engines were already using.

Going live is handled step by step. Before the domain change, we take a reference copy of the WooCommerce store, then run a final QA to confirm everything works as expected. Once it checks out, we update the DNS, so the domain starts loading Shopify. One detail worth flagging: because WooCommerce and Shopify encrypt passwords differently, customer passwords can’t transfer — shoppers reset theirs on first login. So, we send out clear communication ahead of the change, letting customers know how to get back into their accounts on the new store.
