Shopify to WooCommerce Migration

Why store owners move from Shopify to WooCommerce

Monthly app fees adding up. Platform transaction fees on every sale. A theme you can’t fully control. Many store owners reach the point where Shopify’s convenience stops being worth its cost — and WooCommerce on WordPress becomes the smarter home for their store: no monthly platform fee, no per-transaction platform charges, and complete ownership of your data and design.

ShanVersed migrates Shopify stores to WooCommerce end to end: products, customers, orders, content and SEO equity — rebuilt properly, not just copied.

What gets migrated

• Products — titles, descriptions, images, variants, prices, SKUs and inventory counts
• Collections and categories — rebuilt as WooCommerce product categories and tags
• Customers — accounts and address data (passwords cannot be transferred between platforms for security reasons; customers reset on first login, and we set up the email that makes that painless)
• Order history — past orders imported so your records stay complete
• Pages and blog posts — content pages, policies and your existing blog
• Discount codes — recreated where WooCommerce supports an equivalent
• Reviews — exported and imported where the review apps allow it

Our migration process

1. Store audit — we review your Shopify store, apps and customizations, and flag anything that needs a WooCommerce equivalent or a different approach.
2. Staging build — your new WooCommerce store is built on a private staging copy. Your live Shopify store keeps selling the whole time.
3. Design recreation — we rebuild your store’s look in WordPress, matching your brand — or improving it, if you’ve been wanting a refresh.
4. Data migration — products, customers, orders and content moved and verified item by item.
5. Redirect mapping — every important Shopify URL is mapped to its new WooCommerce address with a permanent redirect, so search rankings and shared links keep working. Shopify and WooCommerce use different URL structures, so this step is planned, never skipped.
6. Payments and shipping — gateways such as Stripe and PayPal, tax rules and shipping zones configured and test-ordered.
7. Go-live and checks — we launch, test checkout end to end, verify redirects, and monitor the first days with you.

Honest notes — read before you migrate

• Some Shopify apps have no WooCommerce equivalent. We tell you upfront which ones, and what we’d use instead.
• Customer passwords can’t move between platforms. Plan a short “reset your password” email — we draft it with you.
• Your Shopify theme cannot be converted directly. The design is recreated in WordPress; most store owners take the chance to clean it up.

Why owners move

• No monthly platform fee and no Shopify transaction fees (standard payment-gateway fees still apply)
• Full ownership: your store, your data, your hosting choice
• Thousands of plugins instead of paid apps for common features
• WordPress blogging and SEO tooling built in

Frequently asked questions

How long does a Shopify to WooCommerce migration take?

Most stores complete in 2–4 weeks depending on catalog size, design complexity and app replacements. Small catalogs move faster. We give you a written timeline after the store audit, before any work starts.

Will I lose my Google rankings?

Not if the migration is done properly. We map redirects from your important Shopify URLs to their new locations, keep your content and metadata, and verify everything after launch. A short adjustment period is normal; a permanent drop usually means redirects were skipped — we don’t skip them.

Can you migrate my store while it keeps taking orders?

Yes. The new store is built on staging while your Shopify store stays live. We do a final data sync at launch so recent orders and customers come across.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on catalog size, design work and app replacements. After the free store audit you get a fixed quote — no obligation. See how our pricing works on the Pricing page, or start with a message.
