How to Migrate Your Webshop from Shopify to WooCommerce – Stress-Free
Thinking of switching from Shopify to WooCommerce? Learn how to migrate your webshop with zero stress and gain more flexibility and control.
Many store owners start with Shopify for its ease of use, but soon hit limitations — expensive monthly plans, a closed ecosystem, and limited flexibility.
Why WooCommerce is Better:
- Full control: Choose your own hosting, design, and functionality.
- No monthly fees: WooCommerce is free and fully customizable.
- Open source: Your data is yours – no vendor lock-in.
- Superior SEO: WordPress + WooCommerce offers advanced SEO capabilities.
Migration Process:
- Analyze your current Shopify store
- Set up a WooCommerce environment
- Migrate products, categories, images, customers, and orders
- Run tests and perform security checks
- Redirect URLs using 301 redirects
- Launch your new WooCommerce webshop
Important Things to Watch Out For:
- URL structures may differ – mind your SEO.
- Custom Shopify features must be rebuilt for WooCommerce.
- Be careful to transfer reviews and customer data properly.
Pro Tip:
Tools like Cart2Cart can help automate the migration – but always have an experienced team behind it to handle the technical edge cases.
