WooCommerce to Shopify migration services delivered end to end for Australian stores, from a single WooCommerce + WordPress conversion to a multi-site woocommerce to shopify data migration with Shopify Markets, Subscriptions, and Plus B2B rebuild.
Products, variants, customers, orders, redirects, SEO settings, and app workflows scoped, migrated, and validated. Fixed-price scope, careful testing, and a cutover plan your team can actually work with.
Three stages. No surprises. Your live WooCommerce data stays untouched until cutover — delivered personally by the founder.
Week 0
15-minute scoping call. We map your WooCommerce store, the product structure, subscription rules, plugin stack, and redirect map that must translate to Shopify for the WooCommerce to Shopify migration and the cleanup decisions to make on the way. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.
Weeks 1–N
Full migration run in a sandbox Shopify org first. Both systems then run in parallel for two weeks — every transaction, contact, balance and report cross-checked against the source. No risk to live operations.
Cutover
Production cutover on a planned window — typically a weekend. Team training, monitoring active, 30 days post-launch support. WooCommerce safely retired with full history preserved.
Every migration project starts from a set of concrete data on the source platform and ends with the same data — cleaned and validated — on the target. Here is the shape of that move.
Where your data lives today, in WooCommerce.
The same data, cleaned and validated, in Shopify — ready for day one.
Every woocommerce to shopify data migration is different. Here is what we typically cover when you migrate WooCommerce to Shopify with us.
Products, variants, sizes, colours, images, descriptions, prices and inventory levels — all migrated to Shopify with URLs and SEO metadata preserved.
Collections, categories and tags are mapped so your store structure stays logical.
Customer accounts, addresses, order history, wish lists and loyalty data — transferred so returning customers see their full history.
Guest orders are migrated as records for reporting and remarketing.
301 redirects for every product, collection and page URL so search rankings transfer cleanly. Meta titles, descriptions and canonical tags are migrated.
We validate that Google Search Console shows no 404 spike after launch.
Payment gateways, shipping rules, tax configurations and fulfilment integrations — rebuilt on Shopify and tested before launch.
If you use Xero, MYOB or a 3PL, those connections are re-established.
Your store design is rebuilt or adapted on Shopify. We match the look and feel while taking advantage of the new platform features.
Mobile responsiveness, performance and conversion-focused layouts are a priority.
Price moves with product and variant volume, redirects, theme or app rebuilds, subscriptions, channel rules, connected systems, and how tight the cutover window is. Here is how we scope it.
Tell us what must survive in Shopify, what workflows or reports cannot break, and whether the move fits one fixed-price migration or needs phased delivery.
Once data scope, workflow rebuilds, connected systems, and cutover risk are clear, you get fixed-price scope covering cleansing, migration, validation, and go-live. No open-ended estimates.
If the move includes heavy history, connected systems, or adjacent rebuild work, we can split it into core migration first, then history, then integrations. Each phase has its own price and sign-off.

Read the full case studyWe had been putting off the switch for over a year. They made it painless — scoped it clearly, migrated everything, and our team was up and running in Shopify within weeks. The data was cleaner than it had been in years.
A structured process so you know what is happening at each stage. No ambiguity, no surprises.
Depends on product and variant volume, subscription apps, B2B rules, plugin-to-app replacements, theme rebuild scope, and redirect count. We scope your WooCommerce store first, then quote fixed price before any work starts.
