Shopify → WooCommerce Migration
Move to WooCommerce Without Losing What Your Business Has Built
Rankings, subscriptions, order history, customer accounts and integrations all have to come with you. We plan and run complex Shopify to WooCommerce migrations around how your business actually works, so you change platforms without starting over.
Your Store Has Hit the Ceiling of Its Shopify Plan
The answer keeps being Plus or one more app
Checkout customization, advanced B2B, subscription billing and custom logic sit behind a Plus contract or inside yet another app. Either way the bill grows, the workarounds stay, and your workflow still has to bend to the platform rather than the other way round..
Moving to WooCommerce isn't the hard part. Moving without disrupting the business you've built is. We plan what to preserve, what to change and what WooCommerce does better, then migrate products, customers, orders and search rankings without stopping the store.

Your Store Is More Than Its Product Catalogue
We map what your Shopify store actually depends on before deciding how each part should be migrated.
- Products, variants, bundles and collections
- Taxonomies, media library and product imagery
- Customer reviews and ratings

Why WisdmLabs
Someone Who Knows What the Data Means
A tool moves records. An agency rebuilds a store. We work out what has to survive the move, and what needs to change.
We Know Where You’re Going.
14+ years building, migrating and maintaining WordPress and WooCommerce stores where standard functionality isn’t enough.
Migration Isn’t New to Us.
300+ migrations delivered, including the messy parts: subscriptions, integrations, historical orders and data that won’t export cleanly.
We Look Beyond the Store.
Discovery comes before development. We map your Shopify setup, find out what each app actually does, and decide what to rebuild, replace or remove.
We Protect What Already Works.
We don’t recreate Shopify inside WooCommerce. We keep what works, rebuild what’s critical, replace what WooCommerce does better, drop the rest.
We Build What Shopify Couldn’t.
B2B pricing, subscriptions, memberships, learning platforms, custom checkout and integrations, designed around your business instead of an app stack.
One Team. Audit to After Launch.
The people who run the audit build the store, run the migration and stay through launch. Nothing gets handed to a team that wasn’t there.
How We Migrate
A Migration Plan Built Before Your Store Moves
Discover & Plan
Map the store, its dependencies and risks, then decide what moves or gets rebuilt.
Build & Rehearse
Build on staging, migrate sample data, rehearse until issues surface.
Validate
Reconcile data, test renewals and redirects, run customer journeys.
Launch & Stabilise
Final sync and DNS around trading hours, then we stay on and fix what surfaces.
Why WooCommerce
A Platform That Adapts to Your Business
It isn’t automatically better than Shopify. It fits businesses that need more control over how their store works.
Own Your Store. Own Your Data.
Your code, database and customer records aren’t locked inside a proprietary platform. You host it, you own it, you decide what happens to it.
Build the Checkout You Need.
Custom pricing, approval steps, B2B rules and unusual customer journeys are built around your business, not squeezed through an app.
Recurring Revenue. Handled Properly.
Subscriptions, memberships and gated content are built around your model without forcing every requirement through a third-party app.
Content and Commerce. One Platform.
WordPress underneath means your content, SEO and store teams work in one system instead of across two.
Connect What You Already Run.
Open APIs make it simpler to connect your ERP, CRM, PIM, accounting, fulfillment and internal systems without a marketplace in the way.
Predictable Cost as You Grow.
For complex or growing stores, more control makes the economics more predictable as volume and requirements scale.
Shopify vs WooCommerce: Which Makes Sense for Your Store?
| Shopify | WooCommerce | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup speed | Fast | Higher upfront investment |
| Hosting | Managed | Self-managed or managed host |
| Ownership of code & data | Hosted, licensed | Owned outright |
| Platform & transaction fees | Yes | None |
| Checkout customisation | Constrained | Open and extensible |
| Subscriptions | App-based | Native and extensible |
| Memberships & gated content | App-based | First-class |
| SEO architecture | Bounded | Open |
| Total cost (Year 3+) | Compounds with scale | Often more efficient at scale |
| Best fit | Early-stage, simpler catalogues | Complex, recurring, or content-led stores |
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Shopify to WooCommerce migration take?
Six to twelve weeks end-to-end for most engagements, confirmed only after discovery.
Will we lose SEO rankings?
Not when the migration is handled properly. We lock a full URL map and 301 plan before cutover, preserve search metadata, and monitor rankings post-launch.
What happens to active Shopify subscriptions?
Payment tokens are migrated with the same gateway preserved where supported. Billing cycles, renewal dates, and dunning states carry over. A full renewal cycle is tested in staging first.
Will customers need to reset passwords?
In most cases, no. Encrypted credentials are migrated where possible; a passwordless first-login flow handles the rest.
How much downtime should we expect?
Minutes, not hours. A phased cutover keeps the storefront browsable throughout.
Can you migrate subscriptions, memberships, and LMS content together?
Yes. This is a core competency, not an edge case.
What about our Shopify apps — Klaviyo, Recharge, Loop, Gorgias?
Each app is reviewed in discovery and replaced with a native, open-source, or custom equivalent. Vendors with WooCommerce-compatible products are reconnected directly.
Is WooCommerce really cheaper long-term?
Often, for stores with meaningful complexity or scale. We share a Year 1 / 3 / 5 cost projection during discovery — grounded in your numbers, not generic benchmarks.
Do you handle hosting, security, and support after launch?
Yes. End-to-end, by one team.
Can WooCommerce support highly custom workflows?
Yes — and the more custom the workflow, the clearer the case for replatforming. We rebuild logic as first-class functionality, not as configured workarounds.
