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.
Built here. Your data stays here.
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.
What actually comes across
Moving the balances is the easy part. The work is the history: the invoices still open, the codes that do not exist in Shopify, the attachments nobody wants to lose, and the customer records that have drifted over years. All of it has to arrive reconciled, not approximately.
What has to move
Codes mapped to their Shopify equivalents, records deduplicated on rules you approve, then both systems run side by side until the balances agree. Cutover happens on a window you choose.
See how a conversion runsWhat you get
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.
Why HELLO PEOPLE
DIY spreadsheet migrations, vendor migration tools, and offshore migrators all promise to move your data. Here's how HELLO PEOPLE compares on the things that actually matter to an AU SMB owner.
| Concern | HELLO PEOPLE | DIY spreadsheets | Vendor migration tool | Offshore migrators |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data preserved end-to-end | 100% + validated at every step | Usually yes, no validation | Advertised complete, some fields drop | Depends on the vendor |
| Downtime during cutover | Zero. Parallel run + weekend cut | Days to weeks | Hours to days | Often days |
| AU BAS / GST / payroll fit | AU-native, understood | You own the risk | Usually generic | Variable |
| Pricing model | Fixed price, one-time | Your team's time forever | Per-record or flat fee | Per-hour + revisions |
| When something breaks | We own the fix, no charge | You own it | Support ticket queue | Time-zone gap |
| Data cleansing | Included in scope | Optional, often skipped | Usually not | Quoted separately |
| Post-cutover support | 30 days included, plan optional | None | Chat support tier | Depends on contract |
A Perth-based services group with 60+ staff moved off their legacy accounting stack to a modern cloud platform, taking multiple entities across in one coordinated cut. Chart of accounts consolidated, payroll continuity preserved through cutover, and BAS lodgement continued on time.
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.
We audit data quality, volume, complexity and connected integrations. You get a clear scope and a fixed price before anything starts.
Duplicates merged, dead records removed, formats standardised. Your data is cleaned in WooCommerce before anything moves.
Shopify is set up to match your business, accounts, custom fields, user roles, tax settings. No generic template.
Products, variants, images, prices, customer accounts, order history, SEO metadata, URL redirects and tax configurations, extracted, transformed and loaded into Shopify. Validated against the source at every step.
Balances checked. Reports compared. Edge cases tested. Your team reviews the data in Shopify before we go anywhere near production.
We cut over at the right moment and stay close for the first month. WooCommerce stays accessible as a reference until you are confident.
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.
About 2 to 4 weeks for most Australian stores. Simple product catalogues finish faster. WooCommerce Subscriptions, WPML multi-language, or Shopify Plus B2B rebuilds sit at the longer end.
Yes. Custom WooCommerce to Shopify migration is a core piece of what we do, including custom WooCommerce hooks and filters rebuilt as Shopify apps, WordPress page builder layouts rebuilt as Shopify OS 2.0 sections, and bespoke Shopify app development to replace third-party plugins.
Yes. We are a Perth-based WooCommerce Shopify migration company delivering nationally, with clients across Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. Delivery is remote and the team is Australian.
No. Every product, collection, and page URL gets a 301 redirect. Meta titles, descriptions, and canonical tags migrate with the store. We validate no 404 spike in Google Search Console after launch.
Yes. Customer accounts, addresses, order history with line items, taxes, shipping, discounts, refunds, and returns history all migrate. WooCommerce Subscriptions transition to Shopify subscription apps.
Yes. WooCommerce stays live until cutover. Parallel setup runs in a Shopify development store so trading never stops. Cutover is planned for a low-traffic window.
Yes. Xero, MYOB, Cin7, Unleashed, 3PL, and freight API connections are all rebuilt against Shopify as part of the scope. Nothing is left hanging on launch morning.
Where people go after WooCommerce varies, and we scope the move to whichever system you have chosen: Xero, MYOB AccountRight, MYOB Business, MYOB Acumatica, QuickBooks Online, Reckon, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage 50, Sage 300, Sage Intacct, Odoo, Zoho Books, FreshBooks, Saasu, SAP Business One, Oracle and Workday. If the one you have picked is a poor fit for how you actually work, we will say so before you have paid for a conversion into it.
The parts that decide the timeline are the same wherever you land: the chart of accounts, the general ledger, the customer and supplier master, open purchase orders and sales orders, opening balances and payroll history, and how much history you export out of the old system and import into the new one, rather than leave behind in a readable archive. Hosted files, local files and vendor exports each come out differently.
If you are looking because WooCommerce is too old, out of support or reaching end of life, that is a question of timing rather than whether. It is worth comparing the alternatives and moving away on your own schedule rather than on the one the vendor picks for you.
