Own Your Store. Stop Renting It from Shopify.
Shopify and BigCommerce charge transaction fees, lock you into their app store, dictate your URL structure, and ultimately own the customer experience. WooCommerce gives you full ownership of your code, your customers, your margins, and your roadmap — with no monthly platform fee and no transaction tax. We have moved 60+ stores onto WooCommerce ranging from 50-product side projects to 80,000-SKU enterprise catalogues. The hard part is not the products — it is preserving customer accounts, historic orders, abandoned carts, reviews, coupons, redirects, and SEO equity. We handle all of it on a fixed price.
Read Migration Case StudiesWhy Stores Move Off Shopify, BigCommerce, and Magento to WooCommerce
The pattern of merchant frustration that triggers a migration to WooCommerce is remarkably consistent across platforms.
From Shopify
Transaction fees (0.5–2% on top of payment processing if not using Shopify Payments), app subscriptions that grow into hundreds per month, checkout customisation limits (especially on non-Plus plans), the inability to fully own customer data, ranking limits from /products/ and /collections/ URL prefixes, and the lock-in to Shopify Markets when going international. For stores doing $100K+/month, the math typically favours WooCommerce significantly.
From BigCommerce
Order-volume-based pricing tiers (revenue penalty for growth), limited theme customisation without Stencil expertise, fewer third-party app options compared to Shopify or WooCommerce, and recurring frustration with the checkout customisation API. WooCommerce eliminates the order-volume tax entirely.
From Magento (Adobe Commerce)
Hosting and developer costs that scale into $5K–$50K/month, complex upgrade paths, the licensing cost on Adobe Commerce Cloud, and a steep developer-talent shortage. WooCommerce delivers comparable extensibility at a fraction of the operational cost for the 80% of stores that do not need Magento’s deepest enterprise features.
From PrestaShop or OpenCart
Smaller developer ecosystem, fewer modern themes, less reliable updates, and a shrinking pool of agencies. WooCommerce offers an order-of-magnitude bigger ecosystem with better long-term support.
The Real Cost of a Bad Migration (and Why DIY Is Risky)
We have done post-mortems on dozens of failed or partial migrations from other agencies. The pattern is always the same: data was moved, but URLs were not redirected (SEO traffic dropped 60%+ in 30 days), or customer accounts were imported but order history was orphaned (support tickets exploded), or the checkout was hacked together with a generic theme and conversion dropped 35%, or active subscription tokens were lost and 40% of subscribers churned at renewal. Every one of these is preventable with proper planning. None of them are recoverable cheaply after the fact.

Source Platforms We Migrate Most Often
Migration scripts, edge-cases, and best practices we have developed across hundreds of migrations:
Shopify & Shopify Plus → WooCommerce
Our most-requested migration. We use the Shopify Admin API + REST + GraphQL to extract everything, handle Shopify’s “Sales channels” and “Markets” features, map metafields to WooCommerce custom fields, and translate Shopify’s collection logic to WooCommerce categories + smart category rules. Checkout.liquid customisations (Plus only) are rebuilt as Block Checkout customisations.
Magento 1 / Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce → WooCommerce
Magento’s attribute sets, configurable/bundle/grouped products, multi-store, and complex inheritance all need careful mapping. We provide a written attribute-mapping document during discovery so you can sign off on how every Magento concept lands in WooCommerce.
BigCommerce → WooCommerce
BigCommerce’s Stencil themes need replacing; products/customers/orders migrate via the BigCommerce API. We handle BigCommerce’s “channels” feature, product modifiers, and rule-based pricing.
PrestaShop, OpenCart, osCommerce → WooCommerce
Database-level extracts, since these platforms’ APIs are less complete. We map their localisation, multi-store, and combination/variation systems to WooCommerce equivalents.
Wix, Squarespace, Webflow → WooCommerce
Smaller catalogues, simpler migrations, but a fresh WooCommerce build is almost always the right call (these platforms’ design DNA does not survive a 1:1 replication anyway).
The Migration Stack We Use
Tools we use depending on source platform and project: WP All Import Pro for CSV/XML imports; custom PHP migration scripts for API-based sources; FG Magento to WooCommerce or similar specialised plugins where appropriate; Migration Guru where the structure aligns; and always WP-CLI for bulk operations and reconciliation. We also build one-off migration scripts for proprietary sources.
Every Field. Every Customer. Every Order. Every Redirect.
A full structural migration — not just a CSV import.
Migrations Are Where Most Agencies Cut Corners. We Do Not.
Every migration ships with a written data-integrity guarantee.
Zero Data Loss
Scripted, repeatable migrations with row-count reconciliation. We prove every record landed in the right place.
Zero SEO Loss
Every old URL gets a 301. Schema preserved. Sitemap submitted. Rankings protected through the transition.
Zero Downtime
Cut-over via DNS swap + final delta sync. Customers never see a maintenance page or a broken checkout.
Payment Gateway Setup
Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, Klarna, Afterpay, Razorpay, regional gateways — all fully configured and tested.
Theme Recreation
We rebuild your existing design on WooCommerce — or recommend a clean modern alternative if yours is dated.
30-Day Post-Launch Support
Any data anomaly, theme bug, or integration hiccup is fixed free for the first 30 days after cut-over.
Who Hires Us for WooCommerce Migration
Growing Shopify Stores Hitting Cost Ceilings
Stores at $1M–$30M/year on Shopify Advanced or Plus, where the platform fees + app subscriptions + transaction fees now exceed $30K–$200K/year. Moving to WooCommerce typically saves 60–80% of platform costs within the first year — often paying back the migration in 3–9 months.
Magento Stores Tired of the Operational Burden
Mid-size Magento merchants ($500K–$10M/year) whose hosting + developer + upgrade costs have spiralled past the value they get from Magento’s advanced features. WooCommerce delivers the 80% that matters at 20% of the operational cost.
Founders Tired of Platform Restrictions
Merchants whose roadmap is blocked by what Shopify or BigCommerce do not let them customise — checkout flow, URL structure, customer data ownership, custom logic. WooCommerce removes those ceilings.
Multi-Brand or Multi-Region Merchants
Companies running multiple brands or regions who want a unified WordPress + WooCommerce stack instead of paying for multiple Shopify Plus instances or fighting Magento’s multi-store complexity.
WooManagers vs. Cart2Cart vs. DIY CSV Import
Why a properly managed migration beats both automated tools and amateur imports.
| Feature | WooManagers | Cart2Cart Tool | DIY CSV Import |
|---|---|---|---|
| Products + variations | ✓ | ~ | ~ |
| Customer accounts + history | ✓ | ~ | ✗ |
| Full order history | ✓ | ~ | ✗ |
| Reviews + ratings | ✓ | ~ | ✗ |
| Coupons + discount codes | ✓ | ~ | ✗ |
| 301 redirects for every URL | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Theme rebuild on WooCommerce | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Payment gateway setup | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Zero-downtime cut-over | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Post-launch support | 30d | none | none |
Migrating 12,000 SKUs and 4 years of order history off Shopify Plus terrified us. WooManagers planned it in detail, ran two staging dress rehearsals, and the actual cut-over took 47 minutes with zero downtime. We saved $3,400 a month in Shopify fees from day one.

Hosting Recommendations for Post-Migration Stores
WooCommerce performance and reliability depend heavily on hosting. Our recommendations by store size:
- Up to $500K/year: SiteGround GoGeek, Cloudways (Vultr HF), or RunCloud on a $40/mo VPS.
- $500K–$5M/year: Kinsta, WP Engine, Pressable, RocketNet, or Cloudways on a managed plan.
- $5M+/year or enterprise: Kinsta Enterprise, Convesio (containerised), or a dedicated managed setup on AWS/GCP.
We are platform-neutral and recommend based on your actual traffic, catalogue size, and growth trajectory — not affiliate kickbacks.
