WooCommerce to Shopify

WooCommerce stores accumulate plugin debt, hosting complexity, and security risk that Shopify handles natively. Shero has migrated WooCommerce and WordPress stores to Shopify Plus for clients including Vienna Beef and STX, with SEO, data, and integrations intact.

client retention post-launch

Most Shero WooCommerce migration clients continue on a Shopify support retainer after launch. Shopify B2B development is a common follow-on for WooCommerce brands running wholesale on WordPress who want to rebuild it natively on Shopify Plus.

"Working with the Shero team was professional, efficient, and inspiring. We were impressed by the level of communication and organization regarding the planning and implementation of our project. The development team was extremely competent and provided solid solutions."

What a WooCommerce to Shopify migration covers

Shero manages WooCommerce to Shopify migrations covering catalog and customer data transfer, plugin audit and replacement, SEO redirect mapping, theme development, and integration rebuild. WordPress content that needs to stay live alongside the Shopify store is handled as part of the migration plan, not an afterthought.

  • WooCommerce catalog and customer data migration
  • Plugin audit and Shopify app replacement
  • SEO redirect mapping and monitoring
  • WordPress content handling
  • Shopify theme development
  • Integration rebuild for Shopify APIs

Why WooCommerce brands choose Shero for the move to Shopify

WooCommerce migrations to Shopify require understanding what the plugin stack is doing before deciding what to replace it with. A team that has built and maintained WooCommerce stores makes better decisions in discovery.

01

Plugin audit before any build decision

WooCommerce stores accumulate plugins over time. Each plugin needs auditing: does Shopify cover this natively, is there a Shopify app, or does it need custom development? Shero conducted this audit for Memphis Drum Shop before the Shopify build was scoped.

02

WordPress content that needs to stay, handled correctly

Some WooCommerce brands have significant WordPress blog and content equity they want to keep. Shero designs the content handling approach in discovery: whether it migrates to Shopify's blog, stays on WordPress, or moves to a headless setup alongside Shopify.

03

WooCommerce URL structure mapped before go-live

WooCommerce URL structures differ from Shopify's and require explicit redirect mapping before go-live. SEO during migration is part of every WooCommerce to Shopify engagement, including 90 days of post-launch organic traffic monitoring.

04

Loyalty programs and subscriptions transferred intact

Alto Music's loyalty program transferred from WordPress to Shopify with customer balances and tier statuses intact. For WooCommerce stores with subscription products, Shero designs the Shopify equivalent before migration begins so subscribers are not disrupted at go-live.

05

Hosting and security handled by Shopify from day one

WooCommerce hosting, SSL, plugin updates, and security patching are the store owner's responsibility. On Shopify, these are handled by the platform. Shero documents the operational cost reduction as part of the migration business case, not as a general claim.

06

Integrations rebuilt for Shopify, not repointed

WooCommerce plugins that provide ERP, payment, and shipping functionality are replaced with Shopify-native features and integrations during migration. ERP integration is rebuilt for Shopify's API during the migration — not reconnected from WooCommerce middleware.

How Shero manages WooCommerce to Shopify migrations

01

Discovery: WooCommerce Audit

We audit the WooCommerce store: plugin inventory, catalog structure, WordPress content, integrations, and URL set. We map what transfers natively, what needs a Shopify app, and what requires custom development.

02

Architecture: Shopify Store Design

We design the Shopify catalog structure, URL mapping, WordPress content handling approach, and integration specifications. Theme direction and B2B configuration decisions are made at this stage.

03

Build: Migration and Theme

We migrate catalog, customer, and order data, build the Shopify theme, rebuild integrations for Shopify's API, and implement 301 redirects for the full WooCommerce URL set.

04

UAT: Full Validation

We validate migrated data against the WooCommerce source, test every integration, verify redirect coverage, and confirm performance before go-live approval.

05

Launch: Cutover and Monitoring

DNS cutover runs with the WooCommerce store live until the last moment. Rankings, crawl errors, and redirect performance are monitored in the first 72 hours.

06

Post-Launch: 90-Day Monitoring

Rankings, crawl health, and conversion are monitored for 90 days. Most clients continue into an ongoing Shopify support engagement with the migration team.
