Move
WooCommerce to Shopify Migration — Done for You, SEO Intact
Move your WooCommerce store to Shopify with products, customers, orders and URLs carried across and redirected to help protect your rankings.
Quick answer
WooCommerce to Shopify migration moves your WordPress store’s products, customers, orders and content into Shopify and redirects every old URL. Lazapi maps each plugin to a Shopify app or theme feature, handles the change from /product/ to /products/ addresses with 301 redirects, and can keep your WordPress blog if you prefer.
Why merchants switch from WooCommerce
-
01
Constant updates
WordPress, WooCommerce and every plugin need updating, and updates can conflict.
-
02
Hosting and security
Servers, backups, SSL and security are your job on WooCommerce. On Shopify they are included.
-
03
Speed
Plugin-heavy stores often slow down over time. Shopify’s hosting and CDN give a faster starting point.
-
04
Checkout
Shopify’s checkout is maintained and improved by Shopify, with accelerated options like Shop Pay where available.

What changes when you move
Plugins and their Shopify equivalents
| WooCommerce | On Shopify |
|---|---|
| Yoast / Rank Math SEO | Built-in SEO fields plus theme structured data |
| Payment gateway plugins | Shopify Payments or gateway apps (Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree, PayPal, Stripe) |
| Shipping plugins | Shipping settings and courier apps such as Shiprocket |

| Reviews plugin | A reviews app with review import |
URL structure and redirects
WooCommerce uses addresses like /product/blue-shirt/ and /product-category/shirts/. Shopify uses /products/blue-shirt and /collections/shirts. We map every old address to its new one and add 301 redirects in Shopify, so links and rankings carry over.
Keeping your WordPress blog
You can move the blog into Shopify, or keep WordPress for content on a subdomain or subfolder. We’ll recommend the option that keeps your best-performing articles safe.
Questions we hear often
Will my WooCommerce SEO rankings carry over to Shopify?
Yes, when redirects and metadata are handled properly. We map every product, category and page URL to its Shopify address with 301 redirects and carry over titles and descriptions, then monitor Search Console after launch.
Can I keep my WordPress blog?
Yes. You can move posts into Shopify’s blog or keep WordPress for content. We recommend based on how much traffic your articles bring and how your team likes to publish.
What happens to my plugins?
Each plugin is mapped to a Shopify feature, app or small piece of theme code. Many plugins, such as caching and security, are no longer needed because Shopify includes them.
Will customers need new passwords?
Yes. Passwords cannot be transferred between platforms. Customer accounts and orders are migrated, and customers get an invitation to set a new password.
How much does a WooCommerce to Shopify migration cost?
It depends on catalogue size, plugins, integrations and whether you want a redesign. After the free assessment you get a fixed written quote.
