Shopify to WooCommerce. Stop renting your store.
The average Shopify store pays $400 to $3,000+ a month in platform fees, apps, and transaction fees. WooCommerce is free, so the migration pays for itself fast.
Our approach
Shopify stays live while we build in WooCommerce.
We build on staging while your Shopify store keeps taking orders, verifying every product, customer, and order against your export. Cutover is a DNS change, no downtime, quote fixed after a free review.
What we do
Your Shopify store, moved to WooCommerce.
Every product, order, and customer. Nothing skipped.
- Products: titles, descriptions, variants, prices, SKUs, images, metadata
- Categories and collections, remapped to WooCommerce
- Customer accounts: names, emails, addresses
- Order history: IDs, line items, shipping, fulfillment status
- Product reviews, imported with original dates
- Discount codes, recreated as WooCommerce coupons
- Blog posts and pages, formatting preserved
- 301 redirects for every Shopify URL
- Meta titles, descriptions, and alt tags from your Shopify SEO fields

Why businesses migrate
Six reasons merchants leave Shopify.
The app bill keeps climbing
Reviews ($30/mo), subscriptions ($100/mo), wholesale ($50/mo), upsell ($50/mo), loyalty ($40/mo). WooCommerce covers most of this with free or one-time paid plugins. Annual savings often cover the migration within months.
Design customization has a ceiling
Shopify themes limit changes without Liquid coding. WooCommerce with Elementor gives pixel-level control. A real constraint for brands where design sets them apart.
Transaction fees on external processors
Shopify charges 0.6% to 2% on every transaction with a non-Shopify processor. At $500K/yr in revenue, that’s up to $10,000/yr just to use Stripe or your own gateway.
B2B and wholesale limitations
Shopify’s wholesale features need the Plus plan, $2,000/mo+. WooCommerce handles group pricing, trade applications, and wholesale catalogs natively or via affordable extensions.
You want to own your platform
Shopify can change terms, raise prices, or drop features anytime. WooCommerce is open source: your server, database, domain. You own it completely.
Content marketing and SEO
Shopify’s blogging and CMS trail WordPress. If content drives growth, a proper CMS (full SEO control, custom post types, Yoast or Rank Math) makes a real difference.
Our process
Four steps, Shopify to WooCommerce.
1
Audit and export
Full Shopify export: products, customers, orders, content, themes for reference. URLs documented, ready for accurate redirects.
2
WooCommerce staging build
WooCommerce built on staging, Shopify stays live: catalog, design, extensions configured before launch.
3
Data import and testing
Products, customers, orders, reviews imported. Checkout and gateways tested, verified against your export. You sign off before the cutover.
4
DNS cutover and monitoring
DNS switches in a low-traffic window: both stores stay live, no orders lost. 48 hours of monitoring, issues handled as they surface.

Common questions
Shopify to WooCommerce migration FAQs.
Yes, completely. We build your WooCommerce store on a separate staging URL. Your Shopify store keeps taking orders the entire time. The cutover to WooCommerce happens in a DNS update that takes 15 to 30 minutes, during which we ensure both stores are live and no orders are lost in transition.
Shopify doesn’t export hashed passwords, which is actually a security measure on their end. After migration, customers will need to set a new password on your WooCommerce store. We include an email template for this notification and set up password reset flows before launch. In practice, it’s a minor inconvenience and customers adapt quickly.
Not if redirects are done properly. We map every Shopify URL to its WooCommerce equivalent and implement 301 redirects. Your product pages, collection pages, blog posts, and static pages all redirect correctly. SEO authority follows the redirects. We’ve done 50+ store migrations without meaningful ranking drops when redirects are implemented correctly.
Most Shopify apps have WooCommerce equivalents, many of which are free or significantly cheaper. We do an app-by-app replacement plan as part of every migration, matching your current Shopify stack to WooCommerce alternatives before we build. If a feature you rely on doesn’t have an equivalent, we tell you before you commit to the migration.
WooCommerce supports Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.Net, Braintree, and hundreds of other processors natively or through free extensions. There are no transaction fees from WooCommerce itself. You only pay your payment processor’s standard rate. That alone saves merchants with volume thousands per year.
It depends on catalog size and variants, which Shopify apps need a WooCommerce replacement, how much customer and order history moves over, and any custom features. It is quoted as a fixed price after a free review. A standard store typically takes 3 to 6 weeks, including product transfer, design rebuild, and redirect mapping.
Yes. Products, variants, images, descriptions, categories, and collections all move into WooCommerce. We verify the catalog against your Shopify export so nothing is missing or mismatched before launch.
In most cases, yes. Customer records and past orders can be imported into WooCommerce for reporting and account continuity. Passwords cannot transfer for security reasons, so customers set a new one on first login, which we make painless.
Usually over time. You drop Shopify’s monthly plan and per-sale transaction fees, paying instead for hosting and any premium extensions you choose. For growing stores the savings compound, and you own the platform outright.
You do, and that’s the trade-off. Shopify bundles hosting; WooCommerce doesn’t, so you’ll need managed hosting built for commerce. We pick the host, handle the migration, and cover updates, backups and monitoring on a care plan, so nobody on your team has to babysit a server.
