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.
