WooCommerce to Shopify
Migration
Switch to Shopify without losing a sale or a ranking. Products, customers, orders and every old URL move across while your WooCommerce store keeps trading.
A WooCommerce store rarely breaks all at once. Hosting bills, security plugins, caching fixes and plugin conflicts quietly eat the budget that should grow sales. Switching to Shopify ends that, and moving properly keeps every product, customer and Google ranking you already earned.
On one store migrated without a redirect map, the dead WooCommerce URLs still earned about two thirds of every click the site had recorded.

You run a business. Not a server room.
WooCommerce is free to install and expensive to keep alive. These are the five costs that never show up on the plugin page.
Server management
Shared hosting buckles under ecommerce load, so you end up on a VPS: server config, PHP versions, and someone on call when it crashes at 2am.
Security is your problem
WordPress is the most attacked CMS on the web. Every plugin widens the attack surface. Wordfence or Sucuri adds cost but never removes the risk.
Plugin conflicts
Each plugin comes from a different developer. One update breaks another, and you spend the week debugging compatibility instead of selling.
Speed is never done
WooCommerce is heavy by default. Caching, CDN and database cleanup are manual, fragile and fight each other. PageSpeed stays orange.
No uptime promise
Your store lives on your server. When the host has an outage the store goes down with it, and sales stop while you wait.

Audit
We catalogue every product, variant, customer, order, URL and SEO field on your WooCommerce store.
Build & Import
Shopify theme, Cashfree or Razorpay and GST set up, then a scripted import checked against the source.
Redirect
Every old /product/ URL mapped to its new /products/ page with a 301, before the domain moves.
Go Live
Desktop and mobile QA, a real test checkout, then cutover only when you approve it.

Same budget. Completely different results.
On WooCommerce your retainer keeps the site alive. On Shopify every rupee can go into more sales.
On WooCommerce, budget goes to
- Server management and emergency fixes
- Plugin conflict debugging and replacements
- Security patching and monitoring
- Speed fixes that undo on the next update
On Shopify, the same budget goes to
- SEO product content on every product
- Uniform, branded, SEO-named product images
- Product FAQs, specs and schema for Google
- Google Ads and SEO, not server fixes
Most agencies load you with paid apps. We build them in Liquid.
Forms, tickers, size guides and badges usually arrive as monthly app subscriptions that never end. We code them natively in your Shopify theme instead. No dependency, no recurring bill.
Real numbers from real Shopify migration work. The stores stay unnamed because they are our clients. The figures are exactly as measured.
A store moved from WooCommerce with no redirects had 656 old URLs returning 404 while still holding its rankings. Our tiered matcher sent 654 of them to the right Shopify page, covering 99% of their clicks. The two it could not match safely stayed 404 rather than being guessed.
2,686 products arrived on Shopify with SEO titles and descriptions empty on almost all of them. We wrote a product type to 2,663 and SEO fields to 2,415, re-checked the catalogue after every write, and kept 74 descriptions a human had already written exactly as they were.
After a platform move, 76% of the catalogue had no SEO title and every brand page returned 404. We rebuilt SEO across all 733 active products and published 15 brand collections so the old brand searches had somewhere real to land.
Six commitments on every Woo to Shopify migration.

No guessed redirects
URLs we cannot match safely come back to you as a list. A wrong redirect is worse than a 404.
