WooCommerce to Shopify
Your WooCommerce to Shopify Migration in 4 Simple Steps
-
Connect Your Source (WooCommerce) & Target (Shopify) Stores
First, specify your current WooCommerce store as the source and your new Shopify store as the target. Cart2Cart offers multiple secure connection methods for WooCommerce, including API access, Cart2Cart Bridge (FTP upload), or automated bridge upload via admin credentials. For Shopify, you can connect via API or by installing the dedicated Cart2Cart app from the marketplace.

Select Data Entities & Additional Options
Choose precisely which data you want to migrate. Cart2Cart supports a wide range of entities, including products, customers, orders, categories, and more. You can also select from various additional options to customize your migration, such as preserving SEO URLs, creating 301 redirects, or migrating images embedded in descriptions.
-
Run a Free Demo Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, run a free demo migration. This allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, orders) to your Shopify store. Review the results on both the frontend and backend to ensure everything looks as expected and confirm data accuracy.

Once you're satisfied with the demo results, proceed to the full migration. Finalize your settings, make the payment, and launch the complete data transfer. You can monitor the progress in real-time on your Cart2Cart dashboard. Our service aims for minimal downtime, allowing your business to continue operating smoothly.

How long does a WooCommerce to Shopify migration take?
The duration of your migration largely depends on the volume of data being transferred. A small store with a few hundred entities might take a few hours, while larger stores with tens of thousands of products and orders could take several days. Cart2Cart's automated process is designed for efficiency, and a free demo migration can give you a more accurate estimate for your specific store.
Will my store experience downtime during the migration?
Cart2Cart aims for minimal to no downtime during your WooCommerce to Shopify migration. The migration process runs in the background, allowing your source store to remain fully operational. We recommend performing a full migration during off-peak hours to ensure a smooth transition and allow time for final checks on your new Shopify store.
What data can I migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify?
You can migrate a wide range of essential data, including products, product categories, product reviews, customers, customer groups, orders, order statuses, manufacturers, blogs, posts, CMS pages, coupons, stores, and taxes. Shopify-specific entities like Fulfillment Status and Gift Cards are also supported. For a detailed list of all migratable entities and their fields, please refer to our 'What Data Can Be Migrated' section above.
Can I perform a demo migration before a full transfer?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration that allows you to transfer a limited number of entities (typically 10-20 of each type) to your Shopify store. This is a crucial step to verify the accuracy and integrity of the data transfer before proceeding with your full migration, giving you confidence in the process.

This app performs greatly
This app performs greatly. The service is very reliable and the support is superb. The service is quite costly for me but in the end, it's worth its money. There is also an automated shopping cart migration and I'm very happy about that! I'm really satisfied.
