Store Importer

Shopify's free import app for WooCommerce

Shopify's Store Importer app can bring WooCommerce products, customers and orders across. We use it for simple catalogs and write custom scripts when variations, custom fields or subscriptions need more care.

Plugins

Each WordPress plugin matched to a Shopify app

We list every plugin on your WooCommerce site and decide which become Shopify features, which become apps and which are no longer needed. Many plugin jobs, like SEO fields and redirects, are included in Shopify.

Blog

WordPress posts moved to Shopify

Shopify has its own blog, so we move your WordPress posts, images and authors and redirect every post URL. If the blog is large, you can also keep it on WordPress and move only the store.

Wholesale

Wholesale plugins rebuilt as Shopify B2B

If you sell wholesale through a WooCommerce plugin, we rebuild it with Shopify's native B2B features: company accounts, catalogs and payment terms.

"Working with Shero was professional, efficient, and inspiring."

01

Plugin audit before any development 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? We did this plugin by plugin for Dillanos Coffee Roasters, which moved off a stack of 40+ WooCommerce plugins.

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, with organic traffic monitored after launch.

04

Loyalty programs and subscriptions transferred intact

Alto Music's Alto Bucks loyalty program moved to Shopify with open customer balances carried over. 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 for your store as part of the migration business case.

06

Integrations rebuilt for Shopify from the ground up

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. The old WooCommerce middleware is retired.

Towing Equipment

Lacrosse and Hockey Gear

STX

Looking to scale alongside growing global markets and competitor consolidation, the premium American manufacturer of lacrosse, field hockey, and ice hockey equipment, partnered with Shero to migrate from Adobe Commerce (Magento) to Shopify, delivering a unified D2C and B2B experience, custom ERP integration, and a refined storefront that reflects the engineering quality of their products.

Backup Camera Systems

Camera Source

Camera Source, a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of backup camera systems for automotive, agricultural, and commercial use, built a loyal D2C and B2B customer base over 15+ years. Outgrowing a self-hosted Magento setup, the brand partnered with Shero to migrate to Shopify, delivering a native B2B dealer portal, a custom Vehicle Fitment Search, and a faster, more flexible storefront for retail customers and dealers alike.

Premium Knives

Benchmade

For more than three decades, Benchmade has been known for producing high-quality knives for everyday carry, hunting, rescue, and outdoor use. Launched on Magento Commerce Cloud in 2018, the brand partnered with Shero to expand online amid rising outdoor consumer demand. Since then, they have seen: +100% revenue growth, +68% transaction growth after relaunch, and a +20% increase in average order value.

Your rankings move with you

Migrations usually lose traffic in the redirects and the data. We plan both before a single product moves.

Redirect map
Every old URL mapped to its new Shopify URL and tested before launch.
Data that matches
Products, customers, orders and reviews moved and checked against the source.
Apps replaced
Each plugin or extension matched to a Shopify app or custom code before the build starts.
Launch day watch
Search Console, analytics and checkout monitored through launch week.

WooCommerce to Shopify migrations take 6 to 12 weeks. Send us your plugin list.

Scope my migration

01

Discovery and plugins
In recorded workshops we list every active plugin and what it does for the business, from product add-ons and bundles to shipping rules and reviews, and agree scope and acceptance criteria.
02

Products
Simple and variable products move to Shopify with their attributes, images and SEO fields, and custom fields land in metafields.
03

Subscriptions
WooCommerce Subscriptions customers move to a Shopify subscription app, and we confirm with that app which saved payment methods can transfer.
04

Customers
Customer and order history import cleanly, but passwords cannot, so we write the account invite email and send it at launch.
05

Redirects, UAT and launch
Every /product/ and /product-category/ URL and blog post is redirected and crawled, you sign off in UAT, and we launch with WordPress kept as a fallback.

Frequently asked questions.

Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out to our team.

01

When should a WooCommerce store move to Shopify?

The clearest signals are: plugin maintenance is consuming more resource than it is worth, hosting is struggling with traffic, security incidents have occurred, or eCommerce requirements like B2B, subscriptions, or multi-currency are pushing beyond what WooCommerce handles cleanly. Shero assesses platform fit in discovery and will recommend staying on WooCommerce if Shopify is not the better commercial match.

02

What happens to our WordPress blog and content?

Options depend on the volume and SEO value of the WordPress content. It can migrate to Shopify's blog, remain on WordPress alongside the Shopify store, or move to a headless setup where WordPress handles content and Shopify handles commerce. Shero designs the content architecture during discovery based on the SEO value and operational preference, not a default assumption.

03

Will we lose our WooCommerce plugin functionality on Shopify?

Most WooCommerce plugin functionality has a Shopify equivalent, either natively or via the Shopify App Store. A small number of WooCommerce-specific features require custom Shopify development. Shero audits every plugin in discovery and categorises each into native coverage, app replacement, or custom development before the Shopify project is scoped.

04

Can we keep our subscription products when moving to Shopify?

05
