How we migrate WooCommerce to Shopify.
A five-step process from plugin audit to launch and continuous SEO monitoring. Fixed price, fixed schedule, fast to live.
Plugin & data audit
Full WooCommerce plugin audit, WordPress content inventory, SEO baseline and data check. Output: per plugin a Shopify equivalent or a rebuild decision.
Plugin mapping & strategy
Each WooCommerce plugin mapped to a Shopify-native feature, a Shopify app or a custom Shopify Function. Clear up front what stays and what changes.
Theme build & data migration
Custom Shopify theme, conversion-focused and mobile-first. Data migration of products, customers, orders, subscriptions and reviews. Schema Markup and SEO metadata included.
WordPress blog to Shopify
WordPress blog content migrated to Shopify Online Store 2.0 blog. URLs preserved via 301 redirects, categories, tags, authors and featured images.
Cutover & monitoring
Dry-run week, freeze window, final data sync, DNS switch and redirect activation. 90 days of GSC monitoring after launch with a dedicated launch engineer.

Migrating WooCommerce is not just a platform switch. It is an operational cleanup. We arrange every layer so your team can focus on growth instead of plugin conflicts.
- 01
Faster checkout with managed hosting
Shopify checkout runs on edge CDNs worldwide, Time-to-Interactive of 1 to 2 seconds. No more plugin conflicts, no security patches breaking your checkout, no WooCommerce updates taking your shop offline.
- 02
Cleaning up the plugin stack
An average WooCommerce shop runs on 50 to 80 plugins. We bring that down to 10 to 15 Shopify apps plus some custom logic. Lower license cost, faster site, calmer operations.
- 03
Full data migration
Products with variants, categories, customers, orders, subscriptions (via Shopify Subscriptions), reviews from Judge.me or Yotpo, wishlists and custom fields. No historical data stays behind on WooCommerce.
- 04
WordPress blog to Shopify Online Store 2.0
WordPress content carried to Shopify with URL preservation via 301 redirects, categories, tags, authors and featured images. Optionally as a headless setup with WordPress as the CMS.
- 05
Full SEO preservation
URL mapping, 301 redirects, Schema Markup migration and 90 days of GSC monitoring after launch. Our WooCommerce migrations show no measurable ranking drop and often a slight rise from better page speed.
- 06
Lower TCO and operational calm
Average 4x lower hosting bill, 70 percent fewer plugin licenses and 50 percent lower development cost per year. No in-house security patching, no WordPress updates that can break your shop.
- 07
Path to Shopify Plus as you scale
Migrating to Shopify Standard is often the first step. We design the migration so an upgrade to Shopify Plus (for B2B, multi-currency or Checkout Extensibility) is the press of a button, not a rebuild.
More than a migration agency
We think along about your whole commerce stack.
A platform switch is a good moment to rethink your whole stack. Email, reviews, helpdesk, subscriptions, analytics. We think along about what you really need and what can go.
Plugin audit & stack review
Full inventory of WooCommerce plugins, WordPress themes, connected tools and custom code. A keep/replace/remove decision per component.
Subscription migration
Existing WooCommerce Subscriptions carried 1-to-1 to Shopify Subscriptions with customer billing, recurring frequency and pricing preserved.
Marketing stack integration
Klaviyo, Loyalty Lion, Yotpo, ReCharge and all relevant apps connected from day one. Preservation of segments, automations and historical data.
SEO & Core Web Vitals
Full 301 mapping, Schema Markup, hreflang and sitemap configuration. Page speed score above 90 on mobile and desktop after launch.
Growth to Shopify Plus
If you grow into B2B, multi-currency or international rollout: an upgrade to Shopify Plus without a rebuild. We design ahead.
