An unusually credible team

The safest WooCommerce to Shopify migration

We are actual experts in both platforms, and especially in how memberships + subscriptions work for each.

Since 2011. Really.

Real talk: we’ve built apps with Woo since 2011, Shopify since 2012.

80+ Woo extensions • Top partner • Core contributor • 110k+ users

9 Shopify apps. • Avg 4.8 star rating • Over 40k users

Beka speaking at WooConf. This is actually us, in real life.

Membership experts

We built WooCommerce Memberships, powering 30k+ membership sites. We contributed heavily to WooCommerce Subscriptions, too. (Since 2012)

Also, we built Zendra. 🙂 We deeply understand membership sites & subscriptions, using either platform.

Membership experts at work

We stay current.

We run Zendra & Fileflare for Shopify, along with a suite of Woo plugins. We still contribute to WooCommerce core, and we’re deeply integrated into the Shopify ecosystem.

We’re highly knowledgeable, and on the cutting edge of ecommerce.

Moving from WooCommerce to Shopify

Each platform has its strengths & weaknesses. By moving your store to Shopify, we can help with:

Custom content

Ecommerce themes

Automations

Analytics

What we can migrate

When we re-platform WooCommerce to Shopify, we migrate 360° of online presence.

Key content

The “WordPress” part of your site needs to move to Shopify:

  • pages
  • blog posts
  • navigation
  • users
  • custom content types

Commerce core

The “WooCommerce” part goes, too:

  • customers
  • orders
  • products & variants
  • product images
  • collections / categories
  • discount codes

Unique features

We can also migrate or recreate:

  • product reviews
  • saved payment methods
  • subscriptions
  • memberships
  • loyalty programs

We usually refresh your theme, too.

Clean data cutover

Most stores switch with little or no downtime:

  • URL redirects
  • final “true up” of new orders or customers
  • DNS swap
  • preserve old data backup

Structure & content

We work hard to retain SEO value:

  • product URL mapping
  • preserve page structure
  • blog migration
  • structured data
  • sitemap updates & resubmission

Site audit

Prepare Shopify

Data migration

Test & launch

By the time we finish the process, Zendra replaces a patchwork of Woo plugins with a native Shopify membership system.

Frequently asked questions

No — customer accounts and order history can be migrated to Shopify. Login can be updated to use login links instead of a password.

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% replicated, but Zendra gives you more perks & control over your member benefits — so we can often upgrade your program in the migration.

If you use Stripe (including Woo Payments), Braintree, Authorize.Net, or PayPal Express, we can move your tokenized payment methods from WooCommerce to Shopify, and attach them to migrated customer accounts.

If you use a supported payment gateway (Stripe, Woo Payments, Authorize.Net, Braintree, PayPal Express), your 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 & consult will help us map what can move seamlessly to Shopify, and what we’ll adjust or recreate.

Both WordPress and Shopify have excellent SEO built into the platform. We will preserve metadata and structured data, and add appropriate redirects to prevent this.

This depends entirely on your store! Most stores can be migrated from a few days to a few weeks, depending on complexity and what plugins you use. Our goal isn’t the fastest migration; it’s the most complete and seamless migration. So, we may take a little extra time to ensure we do the best job possible.

We know, we know: “it depends” is not what you want to see here. Unfortunately, it’s true: your store is as unique as your brand, so it’s not really possible for us to give you a concrete price before we complete our audit.

Most migrations cost between $3,000 (simple stores) to $40,000 (complex stores) — but some multi-week projects have been more expensive. We will take a $600 deposit when we start an audit, and you’ll get a detailed plan on how to migrate, what to keep, and what we’ll rebuild in the detailed quote, so the price you’re paying (and what outcome you’ll get!) is clear before we start.

Hey, you asked it, not us! In all seriousness: our founders created SkyVerge, the top WooCommerce developer in 2011. We also created Shopstorm in 2012 (a suite of Shopify apps), and Jilt, a Woo + Shopify email marketing app tailored to ecommerce. Shopstorm was acquired in 2018, and SkyVerge + Jilt in 2020 by GoDaddy. We continued to work on WooCommerce & ecommerce inside GoDaddy.

We started a new company together in 2024, and jumped right back into WooCommerce and Shopify app & plugin development.

Most migration services or agencies know Shopify. Few understand WooCommerce deeply. We have built extensively inside both ecosystems. How many other teams can say that?
