WooCommerce to Shopify Migration

Your WooCommerce store, rebuilt on Shopify. See it before you pay.

WooCommerce is marketed as free. The reality is hosting bills, security patches, plugin conflicts and ongoing maintenance that quietly drains your time and budget. We rebuild your complete store on Shopify in days for a fixed price. Products, pages, theme, redirects and AI-generated SEO content. Everything included.

WooCommerce is costing you more than free

Hosting, SSL certificates, security plugins, caching plugins, backup plugins, update conflicts. WooCommerce is only free until you start running a real business on it.

Security burden

WordPress is the most targeted CMS on the internet. Plugin vulnerabilities, brute force attacks and outdated PHP versions put your store and customer data at risk. Shopify handles all security, hosting and SSL automatically.

Plugin conflicts

Every WooCommerce store is a unique combination of plugins that can break with any update. Compatibility issues between themes, plugins and WordPress core are a constant maintenance overhead.

Hidden costs

Hosting, premium plugins, payment gateway fees, security tools, backup services, CDN, developer time for updates. The true cost of WooCommerce typically exceeds Shopify when you factor everything in.

Performance issues

WooCommerce performance depends entirely on your hosting, caching setup and plugin efficiency. Shopify is built on globally distributed infrastructure with guaranteed uptime and speed.

Questions

What happens to my SEO rankings?

Every URL on your WooCommerce store gets a 301 redirect to its Shopify equivalent. Google follows the redirect and transfers the ranking authority. WordPress and Shopify use different URL structures, so proper redirect mapping is essential — we handle this for every product, page and blog post. We also generate fresh SEO titles and meta descriptions using AI, which typically improves your search visibility from day one.

Does my current WooCommerce site stay live during the migration?

Absolutely. Your WooCommerce store stays live throughout the entire process. We build your Shopify store on a separate development domain. When you are ready to switch, it is a DNS change. Your current site continues to operate until you decide to go live on Shopify.

Will my conversion rate improve on Shopify?

Shopify has the highest converting checkout of any ecommerce platform. Shop Pay, Shopify's accelerated checkout, converts up to 50% better than guest checkout. The entire flow is optimised into a single page with auto-filled addresses, express payment options including Apple Pay, Google Pay and Shop Pay, and a frictionless one-step experience from cart to confirmation. Most merchants see an immediate uplift in conversion rate after migrating.

What about my WordPress blog content?

All blog posts are migrated to Shopify's blog engine with images preserved. WordPress and Shopify handle blog structures differently, but the content, images and publish dates all carry across. URLs are redirected so existing search traffic finds your posts on the new platform.

What if I have more than 2,000 products?

We have migrated stores with over 15,000 products. Larger catalogues are handled on a case-by-case basis. Get in touch with your store URL and we will confirm pricing within 24 hours.

Will my theme look exactly the same?

We visually match your current design on Shopify. The layout, branding, colours and structure will feel familiar to your existing customers. Some elements may be enhanced where Shopify offers better native functionality, particularly around mobile responsiveness and checkout performance.

What about customer data and order history?

The fixed-price service covers product data, content and design. Customer accounts and order history migration are available as an add-on. Customer passwords require a reset on the new store due to encryption differences between WordPress and Shopify — this is standard across all WooCommerce migrations.

How long does it take?

Most stores receive their demo within a few days. The timeline depends on catalogue size and complexity. You will receive your dev store link as soon as it is ready for review.

Will I save money on Shopify compared to WooCommerce?

While WooCommerce itself is free, the total cost of hosting, SSL, security plugins, premium theme licences, payment gateway extensions and developer time typically ranges from £100 to £500+ per month. Shopify bundles all of this into a single predictable monthly fee starting at £19/month.

What about my WooCommerce plugins?

Most WooCommerce plugin functionality is available natively on Shopify or through the Shopify App Store. We assess your current plugin stack as part of the migration and ensure equivalent functionality is in place on the new store. ---
