WooCommerce is a WordPress plugin that allows users to conduct sales from their WordPress website. Shopify, on the other hand, is not a plugin; it's an eCommerce platform with all the features necessary to run a full-on online store.
If you have decided to move your store from WordPress to Shopify, this guide will help you through the process.
How do I migrate the whole WordPress website to Shopify?
You can import all your customer and product data manually, or you can use Shopify’s import tool, which automates the entire process. Or you can opt to get the help of experts like Cart2Cart to take care of the migration for you automatically and professionally.
To do the process manually, first export products, customers, and orders from WooCommerce and then import them to Shopify.
Before you start exporting and importing products, back up your WooCommerce store in case something goes wrong during the migration process.
Next, sign into Shopify and create your new store. Follow the steps provided by Shopify to do this. Completing the initial setup will ensure that your store address, email address, and other store settings are up to date.
Exporting products from WooCommerce
Go to your WordPress admin panel and navigate to the Products section.
On the next window, choose the columns, type of products, or specific categories you want to export. If you want to export all, leave the fields blank.
Import your store's data manually using CSV files
Click the Generate CSV button to have the CSV file downloaded to your computer.
Next, go to your Shopify admin and go to All Products. Click the Import button.
On the next window, specify the file path by clicking the Choose file button.
Choose the CSV file you downloaded from WordPress and click the Start Import button. The Shopify Importer will start adding products from the CSV file to your online store. This will take some time.
Once the import is complete, all your products will be listed on your Shopify store, but your product images won't be there.
You will have to upload them to Shopify’s file page. This step will generate an URL for each image, which you can add to the CSV file, so you can upload your images to Shopify.
After migration, verify that all your product details are correct, including product descriptions, images, variants, and meta descriptions.
Note: look through the Cart2Cart Blog for useful tips & tricks on how to migrate data across various shopping cart solutions.
Using an app to migrate from WordPress to Shopify
Manually importing WordPress products to Shopify has several disadvantages. For instance, product images will not be imported, forcing you to manually add them later. In addition, you may also have to add dimensions separately afterward, and some customers or products may even be missing altogether or repeated.
For these and other reasons, many website owners opt to use solutions that automate the process.
Cart2Cart is one such option. With Cart2Cart, you can effortlessly migrate your store and products from WordPress to Shopify. The solution allows you to migrate products, images, categories, reviews, customers, orders, coupons, blog posts, and more.

This Shopify Migration App worked great to migrate our store from Volusion to Shopify! It transferred over all product descriptions, photos, categories, etc. seamlessly. It’s very easy to use, and the instructions are very easy to follow. Considering the amount of information that we needed transferred, it did not take as long as we had expected.
We did an initial transfer to test out how things would look and how everything would function. It worked great! We purchased insurance with our migration so that we could re-migrate once our shop was closer to being ready to push live, and customer service has been AMAZING in our requests necessary with our remigration. They are very responsive, very informative, and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this service if you are looking to transfer your eCommerce site. Everything has been great! Thank you!

We had a few false starts, but ultimately I was paired with a great customer service representative who did everything necessary to transfer our products correctly from Wix to Shopify. I will absolutely use this company for future client migrations.

I contacted Cart2Cart’s help desk (direct chat) and had my questions answered very quickly and very politely. I feel much more confident now with my decision to use Cart2Cart to do the data migration from my existing website to Shopify. I was recommended to Cart2Cart for Shopify Migration by a trusted friend and I will definitely recommend them also to anyone looking to migrate. Moving website providers has been a source of stress for me and at least this is one less thing to worry about.

I had a great experience with Cart2Cart. Reading some of the negative reviews here says more about how complex ecommerce migration is than anything else. I will say that I highly recommend paying the extra $ for their assisted service, which I did. It is totally work the extra $200 or $300 because you get a project manager who is very available, and you get to tweak your migration settings to make sure everything is just right. With the automated tools they offer, you’re on your own. But their customer support on my project was fast and responsive to my questions, and they were able to make any adjustments I needed. I migrated from Virtuemart to Shopify with over 12,000 orders and 4,000 customers. The migration was smooth. They scheduled the last “new data” import for me at a time I chose (within their working hours). And the migration was a success.

Fantastic App. We migrated from Volusion to Shopify with no problems. Customer Accounts, Inventory, Sales Orders…everything was transferred over.
The only quirk we had was that passwords didn’t transfer over (I’m sure this is a security issue and I have no problem with it at all). The solution was to just send out a mass e-mail to all of our customers asking them to reset their password. Once they reset their password they would still have their shipping information saved as well as the list of their previous orders.
WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS APP…but like any migration process be sure you research & make sure you are doing it the correct way so there are no issues. You can’t blame a vendor for a user mistake 🙂

My experience with Migration for Shopify was positive. I was explained about the prerequisites and peculiarities for my migration from Magneto to Shopify in a detailed manner. The app is very easy to use. The migration was smooth.

We migrated a large x-cart site to shopify. This was the only app that could help us migrate hundreds of thousands of orders and customers. They were extremely knowledgeable and responsive. They answered my questions quickly and accurately. The initial migration went smoothly with no errors. The final migration at launch (to bring in the newest orders and customers) went equally as well. Data security was also handled to my satisfaction. Definitely would recommend this app.
