Products and variants
Products, variants, images, prices, stock and collections are exported from Shopify, cleaned and imported into WooCommerce, then checked against the old store.
Shopify to WooCommerce & WordPress
Shopify to WooCommerce migration without losing sales or rankings
When you move your store from Shopify to WooCommerce, you get full control of your store and no monthly platform fee, but products, customers, URLs and payments all need to come across properly so the store keeps selling and keeps its Google traffic.
- Building WordPress sites since 2020
- Fixed quote, usually in 24 hours
- Support after launch
Why it matters
What a migration has to get right
Customers and orders
Customer accounts and past orders are moved where the tools allow. Passwords cannot be copied, so customers are invited to set a new one.
URLs and redirects
Shopify uses fixed patterns such as /products/ and /collections/. Every old product, collection, page and blog URL gets a 301 redirect to its new WooCommerce URL.
Hosting, payments and shipping
WooCommerce needs good hosting, which Shopify included. Hosting is set up in your name, and Razorpay, UPI, cards or PayPal, COD and shipping rates are tested with test orders before launch.
What you get
What the migration includes

Why stores move from Shopify to WooCommerce
The usual reasons are the monthly plan and app fees adding up, wanting to own the code and data, needing custom features that Shopify apps cannot do well, or wanting the store and a content-heavy WordPress site in one place. WooCommerce also brings more work: hosting, updates and security become your responsibility, or part of a maintenance plan. If Shopify still suits your store better, you will be told that honestly after the review.
How the migration works
First a free review of your store: products, apps you rely on, custom theme features and traffic. Then a written scope and fixed quote. The WooCommerce store is built on a staging link while Shopify keeps selling. At switch-over, recent orders and customers are brought across, the domain is pointed to the new hosting and redirects go live, followed by checks in Search Console. Moving the other way?

FAQ
Common questions
Should I move from Shopify to WooCommerce?
It depends on your store. WooCommerce gives more control and no platform fee, but you need hosting and regular maintenance. Shopify is simpler to run. After a free review you get an honest view of which fits; see <a href="/blog/woocommerce-vs-shopify-india/">WooCommerce vs Shopify</a>.
Will I lose my Google rankings?
Some movement is normal for a few weeks, but rankings are protected by redirecting every old Shopify URL to its new WooCommerce URL, keeping titles and descriptions, and submitting the new sitemap in Search Console.
Can customer passwords be moved?
No. Passwords are stored encrypted and cannot be copied. Customer accounts are moved and customers are invited to set a new password.
What happens to my Shopify apps?
Each app is listed in the review, and a WooCommerce plugin or built-in feature is found for the ones you actually need. Some features are simpler on WooCommerce, some need a paid plugin, and that is made clear before the quote.
Will my store go offline during the move?
No. The new store is built and tested on a staging link while Shopify keeps selling, and the switch-over is done in a short window.
How long does a migration take?
It depends on the number of products, customers, apps and custom features. You get a timeline with the fixed quote after the review.
Do you work with stores outside India?
Yes. The work is done remotely, so stores in India, the UK, the US and elsewhere are handled the same way.
