Our WooCommerce to Shopify Migration Process
01
Audit
We review your WooCommerce store, including products, plugins, custom functionality, traffic and top-ranking URLs, then agree scope, risks and timeline.
02
Plan
We map every URL, define the data to migrate, replace plugins with Shopify apps or native features, and confirm the right Shopify plan, including whether Shopify Plus fits.
03
Migrate
Products, customers, orders and content move to a staging Shopify store, and integrations are connected and tested.
04
Test
We check data accuracy, checkout, payments, shipping, tax, redirects, speed and mobile performance before anything goes live.
05
Launch
We switch DNS, activate redirects, submit the new sitemap to Google Search Console and monitor rankings and errors after go-live.

WooCommerce to Shopify migration questions
Why migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify?
Shopify is a hosted platform, so you no longer manage hosting, plugin conflicts, security patches or updates. Stores are typically faster, more reliable at peak trading and simpler for your team to run, with a stronger native checkout.
Will I lose my Google rankings if I migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify?
Not if it’s done properly. We map every important URL, set up 301 redirects, preserve metadata, headings and structured data, and monitor Search Console after launch. Some short-term fluctuation is normal, and we manage it closely.
How long does a WooCommerce to Shopify migration take?
Most migrations take six to eight weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on catalogue size, custom functionality and whether you’re redesigning at the same time. We agree a clear timeline and milestones at the start.
How much does a WooCommerce to Shopify migration cost in the UK?
Like-for-like WooCommerce to Shopify migrations typically start from £6,500, covering data migration, redirects, integrations, testing and launch. Migrating with a full custom redesign typically starts from £9,500. Final cost depends on catalogue size, data complexity and integrations, and we’ll give you a clear quote with a breakdown, timeline and milestones.
What data can be migrated from WooCommerce to Shopify?
Products, variants, collections, customers, order history, discount codes, reviews, blog posts and pages. Some items, such as subscriptions or custom plugin data, need a tailored approach, which we scope during the audit.
Will my store go offline during migration?
No. Your WooCommerce store stays live while we build and test on Shopify. We switch over at an agreed low-traffic time, so downtime is minimal.
What happens to my WooCommerce plugins?
We audit every plugin and replace it with native Shopify features or a vetted app, or build custom functionality where needed. See our Shopify integrations and Shopify development services.
Can you redesign my store while migrating?
Yes. We can replatform and redesign in one project with a custom Shopify theme. See our Shopify website design service.
Should I choose Shopify or Shopify Plus?
Most growing UK brands start on Shopify. Shopify Plus suits higher volumes, wholesale or international complexity. We’ll advise during the audit. See our Shopify Plus migration service.
Do you offer support after migration?
Yes. We offer monthly retainers and ad-hoc support, including SEO, CRO and development. See our Shopify growth retainer.
