Contact Engineering → How does a WooCommerce to Shopify migration work?+
We begin with a comprehensive technical audit of your WooCommerce database, taxonomy, and plugins. We formulate a source-to-Shopify data map covering products, variants, customers, order history, and custom ACF fields. Migration is executed into a secure Shopify staging environment, followed by 1:1 301 redirect configuration, visual and functional QA, and a carefully planned cutover.
Will I lose my SEO rankings when moving to Shopify?+
Search rankings depend on multiple search engine factors, but our migration protocol is designed to protect your organic search authority. We audit all indexable WooCommerce URLs, map them 1:1 to their Shopify counterparts with permanent 301 redirects, migrate supported SEO metadata, and update internal links to prevent 404 crawl errors.
Can you migrate Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or page builder content?+
Yes. Standard automated tools often fail with advanced WordPress structures. Our custom engineering maps ACF fields, JSON structures, and repeater data into native Shopify Metafields and Metaobjects. For Elementor and Divi pages, we extract clean content and rebuild responsive sections in modern Shopify themes.
Can you migrate historical orders, customer accounts, and reviews?+
Yes. We migrate complete customer records and historical orders (including line items, addresses, discounts, and fulfillment statuses) where supported by Shopify API rules. For reviews, we support exports and integration with platforms like Judge.me.
What is the difference between the Webwidely Woo Migrator app and Managed Migration?+
Webwidely Woo Migrator is our published Shopify app designed for self-service migrations with plans ranging from Free (up to 20 products/orders) to Pro ($99 one-time with unlimited items and redirect support). Our Managed Migration service is a full hands-on service where we audit, map, migrate, design, test, and cutover your store for you.
Do you handle large catalogs or B2B/wholesale stores?+
Yes. We have experience handling high-SKU catalogs, intricate product variations, custom pricing structures, and wholesale rules, utilizing Shopify's native B2B capabilities or custom metafield architectures.
Do you offer Shopify store design and theme development?+
Yes. In addition to data migration, Webwidely designs polished, responsive Shopify storefronts, customizes Shopify 2.0 themes, builds custom Liquid/React sections, and refines checkout and product page user experience.
Do you design and develop WordPress websites?+
Yes. Founder Abdul Rauf brings over 8 years of freelance experience on Fiverr (@webpet) designing and developing responsive WordPress websites using Avada, Divi, Crocoblock, and Elementor.
How long does a typical migration take?+
App-based migrations can be completed in hours. Managed migrations typically range from 1 to 4 weeks depending on catalog size, custom field mapping, theme development, and testing requirements.
