WooCommerce to Shopify migration, for a fixed $1,250

WooCommerce’s built-in exporter, under Products, writes your products to CSV: simple, variable, grouped, virtual and downloadable products, with their variations, categories, tags, attributes and image links. Data added by other plugins only comes out if you choose to export custom meta.

Customers and orders are harder. WooCommerce’s Analytics reports download as CSV, but they aren’t a full export, and Shopify’s own WooCommerce guide uses an export extension for them. Pages and blog posts export from WordPress’s Tools › Export, as one XML file.

WooCommerce and Shopify build their web addresses differently, so nearly every address changes:

• Products: /product/{name}/ on WooCommerce becomes /products/{name} on Shopify.
• Product categories: /product-category/{name}/ becomes /collections/{name}.
• Product tags: /product-tag/{name}/ is matched to the closest Shopify collection.
• Blog posts and pages follow your WordPress permalink settings, and move to /blogs/{blog}/{post} and /pages/{page}.
• WooCommerce lets you change its bases under Settings › Permalinks, so the map starts from your store’s real addresses, not the defaults.

• Plugin features. Subscriptions, bookings, memberships and product add-ons are WooCommerce extensions with no one-to-one Shopify setting. Each one is listed in the scope, and anything non-standard is quoted separately.
• Variable products with more than three attributes. Shopify allows three options, so those products need restructuring, and the scope says how.
• Custom fields. WordPress keeps them as metadata; on Shopify they become metafields.
• Reviews. They’re WordPress comments, not in the product CSV, so Shopify’s WooCommerce guide moves them with a third-party review app.
• Passwords. WordPress only keeps a scrambled (hashed) version, so passwords can’t move, and Shopify can’t import them.

Not necessarily. WooCommerce runs plenty of good stores and we build on it too. The people who move are usually the ones spending more time on plugin conflicts and checkout problems than on selling. If that isn’t you, you may not need this.

Partly. Shopify’s free Store Migration app imports WooCommerce’s product and customer CSV files as they are. But WooCommerce has no customer export with full addresses, so Shopify’s guide uses an export plugin for them, and orders and reviews go through third-party apps. The order history, the pages, the redirect map and the checking are what the package adds.

Yes. Shopify publishes a step-by-step WooCommerce guide, and its free Store Migration app takes WooCommerce’s product and customer files as they are. In outline, from Shopify’s own help pages:

1. Export your products from WordPress: Products › All Products › Export, then Generate CSV. To bring data added by other plugins, choose to export all custom meta.
2. Export your customers with an export plugin: WooCommerce has no customer export with full addresses, and its Analytics customers report leaves out street addresses.
3. Upload the files unchanged to Shopify’s Store Migration app, or edit them to match Shopify’s CSV templates and use Products › Import and Customers › Import. A product with 4 or more attributes comes in without its variants. Keep WooCommerce online until the import finishes, because Shopify downloads the product images from it.
4. Bring order history across with a migration app or Shopify’s API, if you want it: Shopify doesn’t import orders from a CSV file. Import products first, then customers, then orders, and turn off Shopify’s new-order emails first, or your staff get one for each order imported.
5. Rebuild what WooCommerce’s exports leave out: pages and blog posts by hand or with an app, coupons as Shopify discounts, and reviews with a third-party review app.
6. Set up your theme, shipping, taxes and payments, then place a few test orders.
7. Add the redirects before the domain moves, as Shopify advises: in Shopify, Content › Menus › URL redirects, one at a time or by importing a CSV file. Each /product/{name}/ goes to /products/{name}, and each /product-category/{name}/ to /collections/{name}.
8. Then connect your domain: in Shopify, Settings › Domains › Connect existing domain, and change the domain’s A and www CNAME records to Shopify’s. Or transfer it to Shopify, with the transfer code from the company you registered it with. Save a copy of its DNS records first, email (MX) records included, because Shopify doesn’t copy them. A .co.uk domain can’t be transferred to Shopify, so it’s connected instead.

From Shopify’s WooCommerce guide, Shopify’s migration guide, the Store Migration app’s listing, Shopify’s URL redirects page, Shopify’s page on connecting a domain and Shopify’s page on transferring a domain, checked on 28 October 2026.

Done yourself, the plugins are most of the work: subscriptions, bookings and product add-ons have no one-to-one Shopify setting, so each is replaced with an app, and products with more than 3 attributes are rebuilt.

If your store is small, with simple products and not much search traffic to protect, Shopify’s own steps are enough, and you don’t need us. Paying makes sense when there are hundreds of products to restructure, history to keep, or no time to check it all: the package is $1,250 in US dollars for up to 300 products, with the redirect map, a written rollback and thirty days of fixes.
