Products, customers and orders crossing one cutover seam into a new store, with the old routes preserved.

Move from WooCommerce without losing the logic in the plugins.

Database access makes records available. The real work is finding what plugins, attributes and WordPress routes are doing before the move.

Where WooCommerce migrations become risky

Variable products do not map cleanly

WooCommerce attributes may describe variants, filters or information only. Treating every attribute the same can create wrong variants or lose useful product detail. We profile the attribute set, agree which values become Shopify options, metafields or filters, and test representative simple and variable products before the full run.

Important data sits inside plugins

Subscriptions, bundles, add-ons, memberships, loyalty, custom checkout fields and B2B rules may live in plugin tables rather than core WooCommerce records. We review the active plugin list and sample data, then classify each item as transferable, transformable, replaceable or requiring a rebuild. Stored subscription payment methods cannot simply be moved and need a separate plan.

WordPress has more routes than the catalogue

Products, nested categories, posts, tag archives, media pages and legacy redirects may all receive traffic. We crawl the live site, review Search Console where available, map route families deliberately and verify redirects as single hops. Pages with no useful destination are decided rather than sent to the homepage by default.

Orders keep arriving

The source database changes during the build. We agree a full-migration point and a later delta for the records created or changed before cutover. The plan states how new orders are captured and checked around the switch.

What the work includes

  • product, variant, collection, customer, address and order mapping within source limits;
  • selected pages and blog content;
  • media retrieval and reference checks;
  • plugin and integration inventory;
  • sample migration and source comparison;
  • redirect mapping and verification;
  • customer account reactivation plan;
  • cutover, live checks, training and handover.

Migration delivery

From-price or scoped after source review

Data only

Data migration

From £1,000From $1,300

Products, customers, orders and content mapped into a Shopify store that already exists or is priced separately. Fixed once source access and a sample migration are reviewed.

  • Validation against the source records
  • Redirect mapping where URLs change

Starting price · scoped after discovery

Migration and build

Third-party platform, application and migration-tool fees are separate unless listed. Estimator output is indicative and non-contractual.

Questions

Your questions

Can you migrate variable products with many attributes?

Usually, but not always as a single product. Where a range has more option dimensions than Shopify’s product structure holds, it is split, combined or modelled with metafields, and that decision is made with you before the import because it changes how the range is shopped.

Will our WordPress blog and pages come across?

Yes, with the caveat that content built in a page builder exports as markup that only means something inside that plugin. Those pages are rebuilt as Shopify templates, which is usually an opportunity to reduce how many of them there are.

What happens to our wholesale pricing plugin?

It does not move. Shopify handles trade pricing through different mechanisms, and which one fits depends on your plan and on how the accounts actually work. It is scoped as build work rather than treated as data.

Do our customers have to reset their passwords?

Yes. Password hashes cannot be transferred between platforms, on any migration. Accounts move with their addresses and order history, and customers reactivate on first use. The message that goes out is planned before cutover.
