WooCommerce to Shopify
Migration

We move Dutch and Benelux webshops from WooCommerce to Shopify with products, customers, orders and URLs mapped and 301 redirects ready before launch. We build on both platforms, including Kampeerwinkel Roermond's Shopify store with 9,400+ products.

What the migration covers

Shopify migration services

Moving a webshop is mostly a data and URL job, not a design one. WooCommerce keeps products, variations and customers in WordPress tables, often with extra fields added by plugins. Shopify uses products, variants and metafields, and forces product and category URLs into /products/ and /collections/ paths. We build on both, so we map one data model onto the other before anything is imported.

On Shopify we built stores for Rehall, Ovabalance and Kampeerwinkel Roermond, 9,400+ products in three languages. On WooCommerce we built the checkout funnel for Products for Home. Selling in more than one language? Read our guide to multi-language Shopify stores.

Product, customer and order data mapping

We export products, variations, customers and orders from WooCommerce and map them to Shopify products, variants, metafields and customer records. A sample import is checked with you before the full run, and every old URL gets a new Shopify URL and a 301 redirect.

  • Product and variant mapping
  • Customer and order history import
  • Metafields for specs and custom fields
  • URL map with 301 redirects

A Shopify theme built around your catalogue

A migration is the moment to fix navigation and product pages, not copy them. We rebuild collections, filters and templates in a custom or premium Shopify theme and import reviews from your WooCommerce plugin into a Shopify review app such as Judge.me. Kampeerwinkel Roermond runs 9,400+ products in 14 departments on one set of templates.

  • Collections and navigation rebuilt
  • Custom Liquid or premium theme
  • Reviews imported into Judge.me or similar
  • Shopify Markets for NL, BE and DE

Dutch payments, shipping and a launch checklist

We set up Shopify Payments or Mollie with iDEAL, Bancontact and Klarna, connect Sendcloud or PostNL and place test orders before the domain switch. After launch we watch Search Console for 404s and crawl errors and fix redirects as they appear.

  • iDEAL, Bancontact and Klarna
  • Sendcloud, PostNL and DHL shipping
  • Test orders and a launch checklist
  • Search Console monitoring after launch

Who it's for

Should you move to Shopify?

Who it's for: Dutch and Benelux brands with roughly €0.5M–€10M in revenue whose WooCommerce shop has become a maintenance job: plugin updates, hosting issues and a checkout that needs attention after every change. Shopify takes hosting, security and the checkout off your plate. Not a fit if your shop depends on WordPress content or custom plugins with no Shopify equivalent; then stay on WooCommerce and let our WooCommerce development team fix what hurts.

Migrations are quoted after scoping, because catalogue size, order history and integrations drive the work. Webshop builds start from €2,500 excl. VAT; your fixed quote follows the scoping call. You own the store and the code. See our pricing.

  • Data mapped, not dumped

    Products, variants, customers and orders mapped field by field, with a test import you check before the full run.

  • Redirects planned from day one

    Every indexed WooCommerce URL mapped to its new /products/ or /collections/ path, with 301 redirects live at launch.

  • A Dutch checkout, ready

    iDEAL, Bancontact, Klarna and cards, plus Sendcloud or PostNL shipping, checked with test orders before you switch.

How we work

    Weeks 3–7: test imports, data fixes, payments, shipping and apps, with a weekly demo on a Shopify development store you can click through.

    Week 8 onwards: redirects go live, the domain switches and we run the launch checklist, then watch Search Console. You own the theme code.

Shopify migration questions, answered

Honest answers about moving a webshop from WooCommerce to Shopify: SEO, data, payments, cost and when not to move.

Will we lose Google rankings if we migrate WooCommerce to Shopify?

Nobody can guarantee rankings through a migration, but missing redirects are the most common cause of lost traffic, and those can be prevented. Shopify forces product URLs into /products/ and category URLs into /collections/, so most WooCommerce URLs change. We map each indexed URL, set 301 redirects, carry over titles and meta descriptions and monitor Search Console for 404s after launch.

What data can you move from WooCommerce to Shopify?

Products, variations, images, categories, customers, order history, reviews, blog posts and pages. Custom product fields go into Shopify metafields. Customer passwords cannot be transferred, so customers set up their login again the first time they sign in. We check a sample import with you before the full run.

How long does a WooCommerce to Shopify migration take?

We plan migrations in the same 6–8 week window as a new store build, with a weekly demo throughout. Large catalogues, long order histories or custom integrations can extend it, and the quote says so before you commit.

How much does a Shopify migration cost?

Migrations are quoted after scoping, because the work depends on catalogue size, order history, languages, apps and integrations. As a reference, new webshop builds start from €2,500 excl. VAT. You can start with a free 30-minute site review or the €450 Website Growth Audit, credited in full to the build if you go ahead.

Can you set up iDEAL, Bancontact and Dutch shipping on Shopify?

Yes. We set up Shopify Payments or Mollie for iDEAL, Bancontact, Klarna and cards. For labels and rates we connect Sendcloud, PostNL, DHL or MyParcel. Kampeerwinkel Roermond, a Shopify store we built, offers six payment methods, including iDEAL | Wero, Klarna and KBC/CBC, plus free pickup in its Roermond store.

When should we stay on WooCommerce?

Stay if your business relies on WordPress content or custom plugins with no Shopify equivalent. Stay if you need full control of hosting and data. And stay if Shopify's fees and app costs outweigh the upkeep you save. A WooCommerce shop that works may be cheaper to fix than to move: Products for Home runs on WooCommerce and gets 40%+ more sales from the checkout funnel we built (AvixDigital project data, 2026).

Who owns the new Shopify store and its code?

You do. The Shopify store is set up in your name, and the theme code, data maps and redirect lists are yours from launch. We work as collaborators on your account, so you can remove our access at any time.

Is a remote team from Bangladesh a risk for a migration?

A migration needs clear communication more than a shared office. Our engineer-led team works from Bangladesh, a few hours ahead of CET, so part of our working day overlaps with Dutch office hours for calls and the weekly demo, with written updates in between. Calls are in English. We are a Shopify Partner and have built Shopify stores for Dutch brands such as Rehall, Ovabalance and Kampeerwinkel Roermond.
