Shopify to WooCommerce

The problem

The retailer was moving its store from Shopify to WooCommerce. The catalog had hundreds of products, each with images, prices, descriptions, categories and variations.

Recreating them one by one would have taken weeks, and every manual copy is a chance for a wrong price, a missing variation or a broken image.

How we found it

The job wasn't really about moving files. It was about keeping structure: variations had to stay attached to the right products, images in the right order, and categories matching what customers already knew.

That meant treating the migration as a data job with a review step, not a copy-paste job.

How it was solved

• Full product data transfer

  Titles, descriptions, pricing, images, categories and variations moved from Shopify into WooCommerce.

• Same catalog structure

  The existing category structure recreated in WooCommerce, so returning customers found things where they expected them.

• Review and cleanup

  The migrated catalog checked for consistency after import, with gaps and formatting issues fixed before launch.

• Rankings protected

  Old Shopify URLs redirected to their new WooCommerce pages, so search traffic and bookmarks kept working.

Results and impact

Hours saved are an estimate based on manual entry time per product, not client analytics.

A platform switch without weeks of busywork or a half-finished catalog. The store opened on WooCommerce with its full range in place.
