Migration

Move a WooCommerce store to Shopify.

Without installing a plugin on the source store. Variants, images, reviews all included — one-time payment, not a subscription.

What gets migrated

  • Every product, including variable, grouped, and external/affiliate
  • Variant matrices mapped to Shopify's 3-option model (extras become metafields)
  • Product images, gallery images, alt text — rehosted as WebP
  • Categories mapped to Shopify Collections (manual collection rules generated)
  • Tags — preserved 1:1
  • SKUs, barcodes, stock quantities, low-stock thresholds
  • Pricing (regular and sale), tax classes, weights, dimensions
  • Reviews from native Woo + WP Comments — exported in Judge.me / Loox CSV format

Why this works on WooCommerce

Every modern Woo install exposes the /wp-json/wc/store/v1/productsread-only Store API. We probe that first for clean structured data, and fall back to DOM extraction (with theme-specific shims) when it's disabled.

  • Variable products with attribute matrices (size × color × material) translate cleanly into Shopify's variant system — up to 3 options natively, extras as metafields.
  • Custom attributes and ACF fields are preserved as Shopify metafields under custom.field_name for theme access.
  • Woo's native reviews are exported in Judge.me or Loox CSV format depending on which review app you're using on Shopify.

Five steps end to end

step 1

Install the WooScraper extension

Chrome or Edge. The WooCommerce source store stays untouched — no plugin to install on it.

step 2

Open the WooCommerce store you're migrating

Yours, a client's, or one you've acquired. As long as the storefront is browsable, we work. Cloudflare-protected stores work fine because we use your real browser session.

step 3

Click Start scrape

Extension probes /wp-json/wc/store/v1/products + sitemap to find every product, ships responses to our backend. Close the tab whenever you want.

step 4

Download a Shopify-ready CSV + image ZIP

Or push directly to Shopify via Admin GraphQL — paste your Shopify API key once.

step 5

Import via Shopify Admin → Products → Import

Image URLs point at our CDN, so Shopify's import auto-fetches them. Reviews import via Judge.me's or Loox's CSV format, whichever app you use.

The Woo-specific edges

WooCommerce stores are more varied than Shopify stores. Themes pile on. Here's where we've done the extra work:

Themes that hide the Store API
Some hardening plugins disable /wp-json. We fall back to DOM extraction with theme-specific shims for Astra, Flatsome, Storefront, OceanWP, Divi, Avada — the top six by install count.
Variable products with hidden variations
WooCommerce only emits variation JSON for visible variations by default. We walk every variation_id from the data-product_variations attribute, including out-of-stock ones, so the Shopify import is complete.
Image galleries with broken hot-link protection
If you've ever migrated a Woo store and watched half the product images 404 in Shopify a week later, you've hit hot-link expiry. We rehost on our CDN to avoid this.
Reviews stuck in WP comments
WooCommerce uses native WP comments for reviews — a format Shopify doesn't speak. We translate them to whichever Shopify review app you're moving to (Judge.me, Loox, Yotpo).
