We’re *actual* experts in both platforms — but especially in how memberships & subscriptions work on each. Move your store without losing your customers, your data, or your SEO.

Most teams understand one platform. We’ve built top-quality, highly popular products for both — and that changes what a migration can preserve. i / since 2011. really. #### Builders on both sides We’ve built with WooCommerce since 2011 (80+ extensions, top partner, core contributor, 110k+ users) and Shopify since 2012 (9 apps averaging 4.8 stars, 40k+ users). ii / membership experts #### We wrote the playbook We built WooCommerce Memberships, powering 30k+ membership sites, and contributed heavily to Woo Subscriptions. Then we built Zendra. We deeply understand membership sites on either platform. iii / still current #### Active in both ecosystems We run Zendra and [Fileflare](https://fileflare.io) for Shopify alongside a suite of Woo plugins, still contribute to WooCommerce core, and stay deeply integrated in the Shopify ecosystem. 02\. --- The case for moving ## What changes on Shopify Less maintenance, more selling. Each platform has strengths. Here’s what merchants notice most after re-platforming. 001 #### Maintenance overhead No plugin maintenance fatigue, performance troubleshooting with your host, or handling scaling challenges yourself. Shopify gives you world-class infrastructure by default. 002 #### Checkout friction Fast, high-converting, frictionless checkout with built-in fraud protection — and Shop Pay to drastically simplify payments. 003 #### Omnichannel sales Enable new sales channels with a couple of clicks, and benefit from emerging channels like agentic commerce. 004 #### More native tools Ecommerce focus means more built-in tools: better analytics, COGS tracking, customer segments, and Shopify Flow for free automations and integrations. 005 #### Rapid improvement Shopify ships new features quickly, and the developer tools keep getting better — so your store benefits without another plugin update. 006 #### Custom content & themes Metafields and metaobjects safely customize your storefront, backed by a robust ecosystem of beautiful, shopping-focused themes. Sticking with Woo? We built [CheckoutWC](https://www.checkoutwc.com) for that. 03\. --- The manifest ## What we migrate: 360° of your online presence. A re-platform is more than products and orders. We move the whole operation — and usually refresh your theme along the way. Crate 01 / your site #### Key content The “WordPress” part of your site moves to Shopify: pages, blog posts, navigation, users, and custom content types. Crate 02 / your store #### Commerce core The “WooCommerce” part goes, too: customers, orders, products and variants, product images, collections, and discount codes. Crate 03 / your extensions #### Unique features We migrate or recreate product reviews, saved payment methods, subscriptions, memberships, and loyalty programs. Crate 04 / your uptime #### Clean data cutover Most stores switch with little or no downtime: URL redirects, a final true-up of new orders and customers, DNS swap, and a preserved backup of old data. Crate 05 / your SEO #### Structure & content We work hard to retain SEO value: product URL mapping, preserved page structure, blog migration, structured data, and sitemap updates and resubmission. The payoff #### One native system By the time we finish, Zendra replaces a patchwork of Woo plugins with a native Shopify membership system — often with more perks and control than the program you left behind. 04\. --- The method ## How a migration runs Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. We don’t skip the audit to “save” time. Our goal isn’t the fastest migration; it’s the most complete and seamless one. ⦿ --- 01 / site audit ### Audit We audit your Woo site to plan what we move versus what we rebuild — and give you a detailed quote before the real work starts. ⦿ --- 02 / prepare ### Prepare Shopify Create new data structures, refresh your storefront, and install the apps your store needs. ⦿ --- 03 / migrate ### Move the data Content, commerce, and extension data move from one system to the next — mapped, not dumped. ⦿ --- » 04 / launch ### Test & launch Confirm accuracy, true up the final data, and cut over with minimal downtime. [Contact us to get started](/contact/) 05\. --- Questions ## Questions before you move Practical details about what survives a migration — accounts, billing, rankings, and cost. Ask us directly if yours isn’t here. 01 #### Will my customers lose their accounts?+ No — customer accounts and order history can be migrated to Shopify. Login can be updated to use login links instead of a password. 02 #### Will my memberships break?+ That’s what Zendra is for! We can map membership data from WooCommerce Memberships or Constellation into Zendra automatically. Some settings can’t be 100 percent replicated, but Zendra gives you more perks and control over member benefits — so we can often upgrade your program in the migration. 03 #### Will I lose saved payment methods?+ If you use Stripe (including Woo Payments), Braintree, Authorize.Net, or PayPal Express, we can move your tokenized payment methods to Shopify and attach them to migrated customer accounts. 04 #### Can my subscriptions migrate from WooCommerce?+ With a supported payment gateway (Stripe, Woo Payments, Authorize.Net, Braintree, PayPal Express), subscriptions can often migrate without interrupting your billing schedule. Zendra supports many of the features in WooCommerce Subscriptions, but not all (and it has some extra features, too!). Our audit maps what moves seamlessly to Shopify, and what we’ll adjust or recreate. 05 #### Will my SEO rankings drop?+ Both WordPress and Shopify have excellent SEO built into the platform. We preserve metadata and structured data, and add appropriate redirects to protect your rankings. 06 #### How long does migration take?+ It depends on your store! Most stores can be migrated in a few days to a few weeks, depending on complexity and which plugins you use. Our goal isn’t the fastest migration; it’s the most complete and seamless one — so we may take a little extra time to do the best job possible. 07 #### How much does it cost?+ We know, we know: “it depends” is not what you want to read. But it’s true: your store is as unique as your brand, so we can’t give you a concrete price before we complete our audit. Most migrations cost between $3,000 (simple stores) to $40,000 (complex stores), though some multi-week projects have been more expensive. We take a $600 deposit when we start an audit, and your detailed quote spells out how we’ll migrate, what we’ll keep, and what we’ll rebuild — so the price you’re paying (and the outcome you’ll get!) is clear before we start. 08 #### Why is Zendra the best team for migrations?+ Hey, you asked, not us! In all seriousness: our founders created [SkyVerge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyVerge) (the top WooCommerce developer, from 2011), Shopstorm (a suite of Shopify apps, from 2012), and Jilt, a Woo + Shopify email marketing app tailored to ecommerce. Shopstorm was acquired in 2018, and SkyVerge + Jilt in 2020 by GoDaddy, where we continued to work on WooCommerce and ecommerce. We started a new company together in 2024, and jumped right back into WooCommerce and Shopify app development. Most migration services know Shopify. Few understand WooCommerce deeply. We’ve built extensively inside both ecosystems — how many other teams can say that? let’s get started Bring your regulars with you. Start a chat about your project — we love hearing from stores, and we’re happy to recommend the platform that fits you best. Want a ballpark estimate or an intro call first? We can do that, too.
