We handle the complete migration: every product, every order, every customer record transferred accurately with zero downtime. Your store keeps running while we work. When we’re done, you simply switch over.
We’ve migrated stores for founders, marketing teams, and agencies who all share the same frustrations. Here’s what drives the switch.
Subscription fees, 1-2% transaction fees on every sale through non-Shopify gateways, and apps averaging $15-$30/month each. Most active stores spend $60-$150/month on apps alone. WooCommerce’s core is free. You only pay for hosting and the premium plugins you actually need.
Shopify controls the code, sets the rules, and can change policies overnight. They’ve terminated stores for product category changes with just days of notice. WooCommerce is fully open-source, you own every line of code and every piece of data. Nobody can shut you down.
Shopify restricts access to robots.txt, forces a rigid URL structure, and limits schema markup customization. WordPress powers 43% of all websites because it was built for content and SEO. WooCommerce gives you full control over every SEO element.
Shopify caps products at 100 variants and 3 variant options. Need a 4th option or more than 100 combinations? You’re stuck creating separate product listings. WooCommerce has zero limits. Add as many variants, options, and custom fields as your products demand.
We don’t do partial migrations. When we move your store, every piece of data your business depends on transfers accurately.
Every product with titles, descriptions, prices, SKUs, images, gallery photos, inventory levels, and all variant combinations fully intact.
Complete customer database: names, emails, addresses, phone numbers, and purchase history. When they log in, their full order history is right there.
Every past order with product details, payment info, shipping addresses, fulfillment status, and order notes properly linked to customer accounts.
Meta titles, meta descriptions, URL redirects (301s), XML sitemap. Your search rankings are preserved through proper technical SEO migration.
All blog content and CMS pages with original images, formatting, and URLs. Your content marketing investment carries over completely.
Customer reviews with ratings, active coupon codes, discount rules, and tax configurations all transferred so nothing needs to be rebuilt from scratch.
This is where most DIY migrations fail, and it’s the #1 concern we hear from store owners. Losing years of SEO work to a botched migration is a real risk but only if it’s not handled properly.
Our team implements a full technical SEO migration that protects every ranking signal you’ve built. We don’t just move data, we ensure Google sees your new WooCommerce store as the same trusted authority your Shopify store was.
In fact, WooCommerce’s superior SEO tools often lead to better rankings over time. You get full control over URL structures, metadata, schema markup, and every other element that Shopify restricts.
Our SEO Migration Checklist
We’ve refined this process over years of hands-on experience. Every step eliminates risk and keeps your business running.
Step 1
We review your Shopify store: product count, variant complexity, apps, custom functionality, SEO health and identify challenges upfront. You get a clear migration plan with timeline and cost before committing.
Step 2
We install WordPress and WooCommerce on your hosting, configure permalinks, payment gateways, shipping zones, tax rules, and core settings. Everything is built on a staging environment first.
Step 3
Using Shopify’s API and our proven workflow, we transfer products, customers, orders, blogs, reviews, and coupons. Every data point is verified: prices match, images display correctly, variations are mapped accurately.
Step 4
We map every URL, implement 301 redirects, transfer metadata, verify canonical tags, set up structured data, and submit your sitemap to Google Search Console.
Step 5
We test orders through every payment gateway, verify product displays, check customer accounts, test redirects, review mobile and desktop, and run speed tests. You get a staging link for final approval.
Step 6
Once approved, we point your domain to WooCommerce and make it live. Any orders placed on Shopify during migration get synced. Zero downtime, your customers never notice the switch.
Every product, customer, order, and content piece transfers completely and accurately. We verify every data point before go-live.
Your Shopify store stays fully live throughout the migration. Not a single sale is missed. The switchover takes minutes, not hours.
Proper 301 redirects, metadata transfer, and sitemap submission. We monitor your rankings for weeks after launch to ensure stability.
We don't disappear after launch. Dedicated support to address questions, fix issues, and help your team get comfortable with WooCommerce.
Clear timeline upfront. Most standard migrations delivered within 1-2 weeks. We commit to a date and stick to it.
Dedicated point of contact. Regular progress updates. No unanswered emails, no disappearing acts. Just honest, clear communication.
We build WooCommerce stores, develop WooCommerce plugins, and support WordPress businesses every day. This isn't a side service, it's core to everything we do.
Hundreds of variable products, subscription models, custom Shopify apps, complex shipping rules. We've handled them all and found or built the WooCommerce equivalents.
While moving your data, we clean up your product catalog, improve site structure for better SEO, and optimize performance. Many clients see faster load times and better visibility on WooCommerce.
