Products and variants
Products, variants, images, prices and stock are exported, cleaned and imported, then checked against the old store.
WooCommerce & WordPress to Shopify
WordPress to Shopify migration without losing sales or rankings
Moving a WooCommerce or WordPress store to Shopify means more than copying products. Customers, URLs, redirects, payments and SEO all need to come across, so the store keeps selling and keeps its Google traffic after the switch.
- 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 URL patterns such as /products/ and /collections/, so every old product, category and page URL gets a 301 redirect.
Payments and shipping
Razorpay, UPI, cards or PayPal, COD and shipping rates are set up and tested with test orders before launch.
What you get
What the migration includes
Every project is built on WordPress, so you own your website and can update it yourself. Need something that isn't listed? Just ask.

- Customer information: names, emails, addresses and marketing consent, with an invitation to set a new password.
- Customer orders: order history where the export allows, so repeat customers can see past orders.
- Blog posts and pages: moved to the Shopify blog and pages, or kept on WordPress if that suits SEO better.
- CSV files and import apps: data is exported to CSV files or moved with an import app, cleaned, then imported in batches.
- Store data checks after import: product counts, prices, variants, images and customer records are compared with the old store.
- Shopify theme setup: a theme set up and customised to match your brand and key pages.
- Shipping and tax: shipping rates, zones and sales tax or GST settings re-created and tested with test orders.

FAQ
Common questions
Should I move from WooCommerce to Shopify?
It depends. Shopify is simpler to run and handles hosting and security for you, but has a monthly fee and leans on paid apps for some features. WooCommerce gives more control with no platform fee. After a free review you get an honest view of which fits your store; 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 URL to its new Shopify URL, keeping titles and descriptions, and submitting the new sitemap in Search Console.
Can my blog move too?
Yes. Blog posts can be moved to the Shopify blog, with redirects. If the blog is large or important for SEO, keeping it on WordPress is sometimes the better option, and that is discussed before the move.
How long does a migration take?
It depends on the number of products, customers 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.
Can customer passwords be moved from WooCommerce to Shopify?
No. Passwords are stored encrypted and cannot be copied to Shopify. Customer accounts are moved, and customers are sent an invitation to set a new password, with a short message explaining the move.
Will my store go offline during the migration?
No. The Shopify store is built and tested while your current store keeps selling. At switch-over, recent orders and customers are brought across, the domain is pointed to Shopify and redirects go live, usually within a short window.
Can you move a store from Shopify to WooCommerce or WordPress instead?
Yes. The same process works in reverse: products, customers and orders where the tools allow, redirects from Shopify's /products/ and /collections/ URLs, and payments and shipping tested before launch. See <a href="/shopify-to-woocommerce-migration/">Shopify to WooCommerce migration</a>.
