How long does WooCommerce to Shopify migration take?

A standard WooCommerce to Shopify migration takes 2–5 weeks depending on catalogue size, number of WordPress plugins to replicate, and how much custom theme functionality needs to be rebuilt. Simple stores with up to 2,000 products and a standard WooCommerce setup can be done in 2–3 weeks. Stores with custom PHP code, complex pricing logic, or 50,000+ products may take 5–6 weeks. Your WooCommerce store stays fully live throughout — we build your Shopify store in parallel.

Will I lose my SEO rankings when migrating from WooCommerce to Shopify?

Not if the migration is done correctly. We audit your current URL structure, preserve all existing URLs where Shopify allows, and set up permanent 301 redirects for every URL that changes. We migrate all meta titles, meta descriptions, alt text, and structured data. We submit your updated sitemap to Google Search Console immediately after go-live. Most clients see no SEO drop — and many improve, because Shopify's Core Web Vitals scores are typically better than a heavily-plugged WooCommerce store.

What data gets migrated from WooCommerce to Shopify?

We migrate all products and variants, product images, product categories to Shopify collections, all customer accounts and addresses, complete WooCommerce order history, WordPress pages and blog posts, meta titles, meta descriptions, URL redirects, and custom product attributes mapped to Shopify metafields. Payment methods (Razorpay, PayU, UPI) and shipping zones are reconfigured in Shopify as part of the setup phase.

Is Shopify better than WooCommerce for D2C brands?

For most D2C brands, yes. WooCommerce requires you to manage WordPress hosting, PHP updates, plugin conflicts, SSL certificates, and security patches — or pay an agency to do it. Shopify is fully hosted, auto-scales during sale events, and has zero server management. The average WooCommerce store running 8–12 plugins has a Largest Contentful Paint above 4 seconds. Shopify stores typically load under 2 seconds. For D2C brands in India where mobile conversion is critical, that speed difference is revenue.

Can I keep my WordPress blog when I move to Shopify?

Yes — we migrate all WordPress blog posts into Shopify's native blog system, preserving slugs, publish dates, meta tags, and alt text. If your blog is large and central to your SEO strategy, we can also recommend keeping WordPress as a headless CMS publishing to a subdirectory (/blog) with a 301 strategy that protects your existing link equity. We assess this during the discovery phase and recommend the best approach for your specific setup.

Will there be any downtime during the WooCommerce to Shopify migration?

No. We build your new Shopify store completely in parallel with your live WooCommerce store. The final cutover — switching your domain's DNS to point to Shopify — happens in under 30 minutes and is planned during your lowest-traffic window, typically between 1am and 4am. Your WooCommerce store processes orders right up until the moment Shopify goes live.
