Catalogue migration
$1,500 – $3,000
Products, categories, customers and redirects into a store you have set up.
- Product and variation mapping
- Customer import and activation
- Redirect map
- Verification report
WooCommerce → Shopify
Leave WooCommerce maintenance behind without losing a single order record.
WooCommerce gives you control and charges you for it in plugins, hosting and developer hours. We migrate the store to Shopify with the full catalogue, customer base and order history intact, map every plugin to its Shopify equivalent, and redirect every URL so search traffic follows.

Why merchants move
If this sounds familiar.
- Plugin conflicts and updates break checkout at the worst moments.
- Hosting, security and performance are your problem, every month.
- Variation and attribute data has grown messy over years.
- The last agency quoted a rebuild instead of a migration.
What moves
Every entity, how it moves, and the risk.
The honest version — including the things that cannot move on any platform, and what we do about them.
| What | How it moves | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Products, variations and attributes | Exported via the WooCommerce API, variations mapped to Shopify options (up to three per product) and metafields for the rest, images re-hosted.Products with more than three attributes are restructured with you. | medium |
| Categories and tags | Mapped to Shopify collections and tags with matching URLs where possible. | low |
| Customers | Imported with addresses, tags and consent; passwords are reset on first login with an activation email. | medium |
| Orders | Complete order history imported as archived orders with line items, totals and status. | medium |
| Coupons and gift cards | Coupons recreated as Shopify discounts; gift card balances migrated. | low |
| Reviews | Exported from WooCommerce or your review plugin and imported to the Shopify review app with schema. | low |
| Blog posts and pages | Migrated with images and metadata; internal links rewritten. | low |
| URLs and redirects | Product, category, post and page URLs inventoried and 301-redirected; tested before and after cutover. | high |
| Subscriptions | Subscribers migrated to a Shopify subscription app with a re-consent flow; saved cards cannot move. | high |
| Plugins and integrations | Each plugin mapped to an app, a built-in feature or a rebuilt integration (ERP, email, shipping, accounting). | medium |

Variations are the hard part
WooCommerce lets you build products with unlimited attributes; Shopify allows three options. The audit finds every product that needs restructuring and we agree the mapping before anything moves, so the catalogue arrives clean rather than truncated.
Order history matters
Customers expect to see their orders and you need the reporting continuity. The full history moves as archived orders, verified against WooCommerce’s totals.
Plugins become platform
Payments, shipping, taxes, reviews, discounts, email — the plugin stack that made WooCommerce fragile is mostly built into Shopify or available as supported apps. The mapping is part of the plan, and integrations with your ERP, accounting or shipping tools are rebuilt properly.
FAQ
Migration questions.
Still unsure? Ask us directly — one human reply, no sales sequence.
Does our full order history come across?
Yes. Orders are imported as archived orders with line items, totals, dates and status, so customers see their history and your reporting keeps continuity.
What about products with many attributes?
Shopify supports three options per product; additional attributes move to metafields or the product is restructured. We plan this with you before migration so nothing is lost.
Can our subscriptions move?
Subscribers and their plans can be migrated to a Shopify subscription app, but saved payment methods cannot move between platforms. We run a re-consent flow so subscribers re-enter payment details securely.
How long does the WooCommerce store stay live?
Until cutover is verified. It keeps selling throughout the build, and a final delta migration brings the last orders and customers across.
