How to Migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify

This guide shows you how to migrate your WooCommerce store to Shopify.

You can move your products, customers, orders and more in only a few steps.

What is migrated

We migrate your store data to Shopify, including:

Products
Customers
Orders
Coupons
Categories (as collections—see how this works)
Product metadata (metafields)
Pages and blog posts

Most store data is migrated automatically without manual work, but individual records can require review if Shopify rejects them.

Step 1 — Install the WooCommerce Importer app

Install the WooCommerce Importer Shopify app in your Shopify store.

This app handles the migration automatically.

Step 2 — Create API keys in WooCommerce

To connect your WooCommerce store, you need API keys.

Follow the guide to create WooCommerce API keys.

Step 3 — Connect your WooCommerce store

Enter your store URL and API keys in the app.

The app scans your source store, then opens and focuses the migration settings automatically. Choose what data to import there; you do not need to start the migration a second time.

Step 4 — Run a demo migration (recommended)

You can test the migration for free with:

Up to 100 products
Up to 50 customers, orders and coupons

This helps you see how your data will look in Shopify.

Pricing depends on how many products and orders you have. See WooCommerce Importer pricing.

Step 5 — Run the full migration

Once you’re happy with the demo, start the full migration.

The app will import your data into Shopify automatically.

What happens after migration

After the migration:

Products are available in Shopify
Categories become collections
Customer records accepted by Shopify and orders are imported
URLs are redirected to keep SEO

You can review everything before going live.

Common questions

Will my data be safe?

Yes. Your data is transferred securely and not modified in WooCommerce.

Can I connect a WooCommerce store with no products?

Yes. WooCommerce Importer can connect and scan a store with an empty product catalog. You can migrate only customers and orders if those are the data you need.

Can I run the migration again?

Yes. You only pay once and re-runs are free. When you start another migration for the same connected store, the app pre-fills the settings you saved last time. When you re-import customers, duplicate email or phone warnings can be expected and do not mean the migration failed. A phone warning can also occur on a first import because Shopify requires phone numbers to be unique across the shop. Learn what these warnings mean and what the migration log does not show.
