What a WooCommerce to Shopify migration really costs.
Fixed prices, written down before we start, and no GST added. Here is what the migration price covers, what can change it, and what you stop paying every month once you are on Shopify.
What ₹8,999 includes
The migration price moves your store data from WooCommerce into Shopify:
- Products with variants and images, up to 5,000 products
- Collections, built from your WooCommerce categories
- Customer records
- Past orders
- Product reviews
- Your WooCommerce store kept live and trading throughout
Four things that move the quote
1. The redirect map
Quoted after the assessment, because it depends on how many old URLs still hold rankings or backlinks. This is the part that protects your Google traffic.
2. A new store build
Moving data into a store needs a store. A Starter build is ₹85,000. The Advanced build, with custom Liquid, Google Shopping feed and 60 days of support, is ₹60,000 as a launch offer against a list price of ₹1,25,000.
3. Catalogue size
Above 5,000 products we quote on the real count.
4. SEO fields
Migration tools leave SEO titles and descriptions empty. On one migrated catalogue, 2,377 of 2,686 products had no SEO title. Rewriting them is a separate, scoped job.
Woo to Shopify Pricing
Fixed prices, agreed before work starts. Move your data alone, or move it into a new Shopify store built for Indian selling. No GST is added, as we are not GST registered. The Shopify plan is paid to Shopify directly.

WooCommerce figures are typical estimates and vary by host and plugin set. Shopify pricing is set by Shopify and paid to Shopify directly.
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.
Migration cost questions
With Flying Star, data migration starts at ₹8,999 for up to 5,000 products. The redirect map is quoted after we see how many old URLs hold rankings. A new store build starts at ₹85,000, with the Advanced build at ₹60,000 as a launch offer.
No. Flying Star Technologies is not GST registered, so no GST is added to our invoices.
No. Your Shopify plan is billed by Shopify directly to you, so the store and its billing stay in your name.
Because its size varies hugely. A small store may need a few dozen redirects, while one camera retailer we worked with had 656 old URLs still holding rankings. We quote it once we have seen your real URL list.
It can still move. The import is scripted, so we quote larger catalogues after the free assessment based on the product count and data you need moved.
