A WordPress to Shopify migration is a chance to leave behind plugin conflicts, slow pages and constant update worries. It is also a risk if done casually. Your old site has pages that Google already knows, customers who have bought from you and products with reviews and links. If these are not carried over deliberately, you can lose traffic and trust at the same time.
Our approach is to treat the migration like a small project with its own plan. We inventory what exists, decide what moves and what retires, build the store separately from the live site, test it, and then change the domain in a controlled step. Your current store keeps trading until the new one is ready.
Most migrations start from WooCommerce, but some come from plain WordPress sites with a few product pages. Either way, the same checklist applies.
A list of pages, products, categories, customers, orders, plugins and integrations on the existing site.
Titles, descriptions, images, variants, prices and categories mapped to the new structure.
Customer records and past orders moved where the platform allows, with privacy and consent respected.
Old addresses pointed to the right new pages so visitors and search engines are not left at dead ends.
Important pages and posts rebuilt or moved, with metadata kept.
Test orders, mobile checks and a planned domain switch to avoid downtime.
Start by deciding what should move. Not every old product, tag or page deserves a place in the new store. We export your catalogue and compare it against what sells, then clean titles, categories and images before import. Cleaning first avoids carrying old mess into a new system.
Customers and past orders are handled carefully. Shopify and WooCommerce structure data differently, so some fields need mapping, and passwords generally cannot be carried over in readable form, so customers may need to set new ones. We explain these limits before starting rather than after, and we advise you to confirm any consent and privacy requirements for customer data with your own advisers.
Search engines have learned your old URLs. A 301 redirect tells them that a page has moved permanently and sends visitors to the new address. We build a URL map listing every important old page and its new equivalent, with extra care for your top landing pages, category pages and blog posts.
We also carry over page titles, meta descriptions, image alt text and internal links where possible, and submit the new sitemap through Search Console after launch. Some temporary movement in rankings during any migration is normal, and we cannot guarantee that positions will stay identical, but a mapped migration gives you the best chance of a smooth transition.
The new store is built on Shopify while your WordPress site continues to run. We test products, discounts, checkout, shipping, emails and mobile layout on the new store using test orders. When you approve, we plan the switch for a quiet trading time, update DNS and connect the domain, then monitor for errors.
In most cases customers experience little or no downtime, though DNS changes can take time to spread. Keep the old site available for reference until you are comfortable. We also check email delivery, because mail settings connected to the domain should not be disturbed during the change.
Once live, we review Search Console for crawl errors, fix missed redirects and confirm tracking tags and conversion events work. Then we help you use Shopify's strengths: simpler product updates, apps chosen with care, and a checkout customers recognise.
If you are still deciding between platforms, read our Shopify store development cost and WooCommerce pages first. Migration is not always the right call. If your WordPress store is healthy, a performance clean-up may serve you better, and we will say so.

It depends on catalogue size and how much is redesigned. A small store can be moved quickly, while larger stores need more planning and testing. We give a timeline after reviewing your site.
It need not, if URLs are mapped, 301 redirects are set and metadata is carried over. Some short-term fluctuation is normal, and we cannot promise identical rankings.
Usually yes, where data fields allow. Passwords generally cannot be transferred in readable form, so customers may reset them. We explain this up front.
The new store is built separately, and the switch is planned for a quiet time. Customers typically notice little or none, though DNS changes can take a while to spread.
Not always. It suits owners who want a managed platform. If your WooCommerce store runs well, optimisation may be enough. We advise honestly.
