Shopify to WooCommerce Migration — Products, Orders & Customers
ERPPlugs migrates your Shopify store to WooCommerce — products with variants, images, and metafields; orders with fulfillments, refunds, and timeline events; customers with addresses and tags; collections as categories or tags, discount codes, and blog posts. The migration maps Shopify's product structure to WooCommerce variable and simple products, preserves SEO metadata, and generates .htaccess redirect rules from Shopify URLs to WordPress permalinks. Migrate to gain full data ownership and eliminate transaction fees. Most stores complete in 2-6 hours.

What this connector does
Shopify's managed platform simplifies store operations, but merchants with specific needs — full data ownership, elimination of transaction fees, WordPress content marketing, or deep customization — often find WooCommerce a better long-term fit. The challenge is that Shopify's CSV export covers only basic product data, missing order history, metafields, blog content, and the relationships between data types. ERPPlugs uses the Shopify Admin API to extract everything and rebuild it in WooCommerce.
Products migrate with complete fidelity. Shopify variants convert to WooCommerce variable products with attributes registered as proper taxonomy terms for filtering and layered navigation. Product images download with original filenames, alt text, and gallery ordering. Metafields map to WooCommerce custom fields or Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) entries based on your configuration. Collections become WooCommerce categories or tags with the option to preserve Shopify's automated collection rules as smart category logic. Discount codes recreate as WooCommerce coupons with matching conditions, limits, and expiry dates.
Orders transfer with line items, tax breakdowns, shipping charges, fulfillment records, refund entries, and customer notes — your support team retains full history. Blog posts migrate to WordPress with content, featured images, tags, and SEO metadata populating Yoast SEO or Rank Math fields. The redirect engine generates .htaccess rules (Apache), Nginx configs, or Yoast redirect entries mapping Shopify's /products/ and /collections/ URLs to your WordPress permalink structure. Delta sync captures any last-minute orders before cutover, and a validation report confirms record-level accuracy across both platforms.

What changes when you plug ERPPlugs in
See how automation transforms your Shopify-WooCommerce workflow.
| Task | Manual Integration | ERPPlugs |
|---|---|---|
| Order & metafield migration | Shopify CSV export missing order history, customer passwords, and metafield data entirely | API-based migration capturing orders, metafields, and all data types beyond CSV export capabilities |
| Product variant conversion | Product variant structure breaking during import because WooCommerce uses a different attribute model | Shopify variants automatically converted to WooCommerce variable products with proper attribute taxonomy |
| Blog content migration | Blog posts and page content requiring manual copy-paste from Shopify admin to WordPress editor | Blog posts migrated with content, images, SEO metadata, and publication dates to WordPress posts |
| SEO redirect setup | SEO rankings collapsing from /products/handle URLs returning 404 on the new WordPress domain | Redirect rules generated for .htaccess or Yoast SEO mapping every Shopify URL to its WordPress equivalent |
| App data export | Shopify app data — reviews, loyalty points, subscriptions — left behind with no export path | App data exported as structured records with integration guides for equivalent WooCommerce plugins |

Frequently Asked Questions
ERPPlugs reads your Shopify catalog via Admin API and creates corresponding WooCommerce products — simple products for single-variant items, variable products for multi-variant items. Options like size and color become WooCommerce attributes with variation-level pricing, SKUs, and inventory. Product images, alt text, and SEO metadata transfer to WooCommerce fields and Yoast SEO data.
ERPPlugs generates redirect rules mapping Shopify's URL structure (/products/handle, /collections/handle) to your WooCommerce permalink format. Rules export as .htaccess directives for Apache servers or Yoast SEO redirect entries. Nginx redirect configs are also available. Every product, collection, and page URL is covered to prevent 404 errors and ranking loss.
Yes. Blog articles transfer with their titles, body content, featured images, tags, author attribution, and publication dates. Embedded images within post content are downloaded and re-hosted in your WordPress media library. SEO meta titles and descriptions move to Yoast SEO or Rank Math fields, preserving your blog's search visibility.
Shopify metafields migrate to WooCommerce custom fields by default. If you use Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), ERPPlugs can map metafields to specific ACF field groups for structured data management. Product, variant, customer, and order metafields are all supported. The mapping is fully customizable during the preview step.
A store with 1,500 products and 8,000 orders typically migrates in 2-4 hours. Larger stores with 30,000+ products and extensive blog content may take 6-10 hours. Your Shopify store remains live throughout. ERPPlugs performs a delta sync before cutover to capture any orders or changes made during the migration window.
Contact us for migration pricing — plans are based on total record count. Every plan includes unlimited test migrations, delta sync for the transition window, redirect rule generation, and a post-migration validation report. No per-product or per-order charges. You gain full ownership of your data on your own WordPress hosting with no ongoing platform fees.
