WooCommerce to Shopify Migration Services

Why should you consider moving from WooCommerce to Shopify?

Even if you choose one of them, it may happen that you will decide the other one meets your requirements better. No worries, nothing is set in stone, and you can migrate from one platform to another. First, let’s consider why it may be a smart move to give up on a hosted open-source software:

Open-source platforms are generally free but when you add the cost of hosting, development, customization, integration, etc., it may turn out to be more expensive than SaaS.
Technical work is time-consuming. In SaaS, you get it automatically at no cost.
You are the one who handles security issues.
You have to take care of administration and maintenance.

This is why our clients choose WooCommerce to Shopify migration. If this is your case also, let’s walk through an A-to-Z guide on how to migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify.

The advantages of switching from WooCommerce to Shopify Store

One of the main advantages of switching from WooCommerce to Shopify is that you can save money and time on upgrades and bug fixes. Shopify takes care of hosting your site (with fast and reliable servers), as well as updating the software automatically. You never have to worry about outdated or incompatible versions. Shopify is also scalable, meaning that it can handle your business growth and traffic spikes without compromising your site’s performance. You also get access to a 24/7 technical support team that can help you with any issues. WooCommerce, on the other hand, has many add-ons and third-party apps that can cause problems and limitations as your business expands. Shopify, however, is built for businesses that want to grow fast and smoothly.

What are the costs of WooCommerce to Shopify migration?

The WooCommerce to Shopify migration depends on the complexity of your migration processes. Additional migration options affect the total cost. We have a flexible pricing policy so that every customer is provided with tailor-made services that really suit the needs of their business. If you want to get the approximate price of your WooCommerce to Shopify migration, drop us a message and we’ll be happy to answer as soon as possible!

How to migrate WooCommerce to Shopify without losses?

Migrating your data from a WooCommerce store to the Shopify platform doesn’t have to result in data loss or business disruptions. With the assistance of a reliable and experienced partner, you can smoothly migrate your online store.

One of the great advantages of Shopify is its impressive collection of themes, which are not only visually appealing but also easy to manage. Therefore, it makes sense for the migration process to be just as straightforward. When you decide to switch your e-commerce platform, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your data, content, design, or layout. By migrating to Shopify, your online store can maintain its functionality and attractiveness.

At WeCanFly, we specialize in seamless site migration services for Shopify. Our team of experts will manually handle the migration process, ensuring the preservation of your product, inventory, order, and customer data. We also take care of maintaining your SEO data and rankings, as well as implementing redirects for any changed page URLs.

Which data can be migrated from WooCommerce to Shopify?

You don’t have to worry; your data will be easily and quickly migrated from WooCommerce to Shopify. At WeCanFly, we’ll be happy to migrate your:

Products – migration includes product name, SKU, description, price (and promotional price), SEO data (meta title and meta description), product variants if any, images (base and additional), weight, product tags, and managed stock.
Product categories – name, description, images, metadata.
Manufacturers and customers (name, email address, billing and shipping addresses, phone number, etc.).
Orders – date, status, products (SKU, name), price (including discount price), quantity, customer information (name, email address, company address, shipping address).
Coupons.
Reviews and comments.
CMS pages and blog posts with titles and full descriptions.

There are also additional options if you want to move fully from the WooCommerce store to Shopify. At WeCanFly, we can e.g., clear data on the target store before migration. On top of that, we’ll be happy to help you with creating product variants based on a combination of options or stripping HTML from category and product names. We can also change product quantity on the target store or migrate additional images if needed.
