WooCommerce to Shopify Migration

Move from WooCommerce to Shopify with a structured store migration plan

Moving from WooCommerce to Shopify is usually about simplifying operations, improving store management, or moving away from a custom WordPress stack that has become too brittle. The migration still has to preserve catalogue data, order history, customer accounts, and search visibility.

We handle the lot. Products, variants, images, prices, customer accounts, order history, SEO metadata, URL redirects, and tax configurations extracted from WooCommerce, cleaned, transformed, and loaded into Shopify. Validated at every step.

HELLO PEOPLE is a Perth-based software consultancy delivering fixed-price migration services Australia-wide. If you need Shopify migration services in Australia with a clear scope, quote, and cutover path, this page is designed for that project.

Why businesses delay this migration

These are the fears we hear every week. All of them are solvable with proper scoping and a structured migration process.

Scared of losing data

The biggest fear. Years of contacts, invoices, history, payroll records — what if something goes missing? That fear is why businesses stay on the wrong platform for years.

Downtime during the switch

Your team needs to keep working. Nobody can afford a week where the system is offline and invoices cannot go out or staff cannot be rostered.

Messy data in the old system

Duplicates, outdated contacts, broken formatting — if you bring that mess into the new system, you have just migrated the problem.

Reporting continuity

Your accountant, auditor or management team needs historical reports to still make sense after the move. Broken reporting is a deal-breaker.

Connected systems break

Integrations with other platforms — CRM, payroll, eCommerce — need to work with the new system from day one. Not after a few weeks of scrambling.

Cost blowouts

The migration was quoted at one price but kept growing. Scope creep, unexpected complexity, hidden charges — the project ends up costing double what was promised.

What We Migrate

WooCommerce to Shopify migration — what is included

Every migration is different, but here is what we typically cover for a WooCommerce to Shopify conversion.

Product and catalogue migration

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 and order history

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.

SEO preservation and redirects

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 and shipping setup

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.

Design and theme migration

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.

Pricing

How we price WooCommerce to Shopify migrations

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.

Migration audit call

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.

Fixed-price migration scope

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.

Phase history and integrations separately

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.

FAQs

Common questions about WooCommerce to Shopify migration and conversion

How much does a WooCommerce to Shopify migration cost?

Every migration is different — data volume, complexity, connected integrations and the platforms involved all affect the scope. We assess your specific WooCommerce setup, map out exactly what needs to happen, and give you a fixed price before any work starts. No hourly billing, no open-ended estimates. Book a free no-obligation scoping call and we will give you a clear number.

Do you provide Shopify migration services in Australia?

Yes. We provide Shopify migration services in Australia for stores moving from WooCommerce and other eCommerce platforms. That includes product data, customers, orders, SEO metadata, redirects, theme-impact planning, and cutover support so the store can keep trading.

How long does the migration take?

A typical WooCommerce to Shopify migration takes 2 – 4 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline during scoping — not a best-case estimate.

Will we lose any data during the switch?

No. We extract everything from WooCommerce, validate counts and balances at each step, and keep your source system untouched until you are confident the migration is complete. There is always a rollback option.

Can our team keep working during the migration?

Yes. We plan the migration so your team continues using WooCommerce until cutover. We run parallel systems where needed so there is no operational gap.

Do you clean up our data before migrating?

Yes — data cleansing is included. Duplicates are merged, dead records removed, formats standardised and field mappings validated before anything moves to Shopify.

Do you handle the integrations with other systems?

Yes. Any platforms connected to WooCommerce — accounting, CRM, payroll, eCommerce — need reconnecting to Shopify. We handle the full integration layer so everything works from day one.

Is our data secure during the migration?

Yes. All data is processed by our Australian team. We use secure, encrypted connections and never store credentials. Your WooCommerce data is not modified — we extract a copy for transformation and loading.

Do you only work with Perth businesses?

We are based in Perth but work Australia-wide. Around half our clients are in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. Remote delivery is standard for us.
