From WooCommerce to Shopify
Stacked plug-ins, slow hosting and WordPress updates you have to keep up with? We migrate your WooCommerce store to Shopify.
Official partner of
WooCommerce runs on WordPress, which means you stay responsible for hosting, security, updates and the plug-ins holding your store together. Every plug-in is another dependency that can break at the next update.
Shopify takes that entire layer over, so your attention goes back to your products and your customers instead of your maintenance backlog.
Why Codemaker-S?
From plug-ins to functionality
We map every active plug-in and work out what Shopify already does, what becomes an app, and what needs custom work. It is usually far less than you expect.
SEO preservation first
WordPress permalinks and Shopify URLs differ fundamentally. We map every old URL to its new location with a 301 redirect and monitor rankings around launch.
Certified Shopify specialists
Everything we do runs on Shopify. We know the platform inside out, from themes to API integrations, and we are an official Shopify Partner.
“We hugely appreciate how hard Codemaker-S worked. They were still going on the Sunday before our launch to get the last details right. After going live they even came round to celebrate, with VA Imaging cake and champagne.”
How we work
WooCommerce audit
Plug-ins / Data / SEO
We inventory your plug-ins, theme customisations, products and URL structure, and determine the Shopify equivalent for each. You get a migration plan with a fixed price.
Build & migrate
Theme / Data / Apps
We build your store in Shopify and migrate products, variants, customers and order history. Plug-in functionality becomes a Shopify app or custom work where that is better.
Redirects & launch
301 redirects / Testing / Aftercare
Every WordPress URL gets a 301 redirect, we test the complete ordering flow and go live at a quiet moment. Then we monitor rankings and conversion.

Migrating a WooCommerce store typically costs € 8,000 to € 20,000, and up to € 60,000 with B2B functionality, an ERP integration or a large catalogue. The price depends heavily on how many plug-ins need replacing: those usually account for more work than the products do.
Because with WooCommerce you remain responsible for hosting, security, updates and plug-in maintenance. Shopify handles that layer entirely, including performance under load. You trade control over the technology for time and predictability, which pays off once your store carries serious revenue.
Nearly every plug-in has a Shopify app or built-in equivalent. In the audit we list them one by one: what disappears because Shopify does it as standard, what becomes an app, and what we build through the API. The count often halves.
Not if it is done properly. WordPress permalinks and Shopify URLs differ fundamentally, so we map every old URL to its new location with a 301 redirect, including category and blog pages. Titles, meta descriptions and structured data move across.
Yes. Blog posts, categories and content pages migrate to Shopify blogs and pages, with their images and internal links. If you run an extensive content site alongside your store, we will discuss whether WordPress should stay for that. That combination works fine.
Six to twelve weeks, depending on your catalogue, how many plug-ins need replacing and whether a new design is involved. Your WooCommerce store keeps running throughout; we only switch at launch.
If your store is a small part of a large WordPress site, you have a developer who handles maintenance, or your whole operation runs on WordPress plug-ins. WooCommerce is not bad; it just needs attention you have to find somewhere. We will tell you honestly when migrating is not worth it.

WooCommerce vs Shopify in short
WooCommerce is free to install, but not free to run: hosting, premium plug-ins, SSL, backups and maintenance add up, and you carry the risk when something breaks. Shopify has a fixed monthly price covering hosting, security, updates and scalability. For most growing stores the sum tips towards Shopify the moment maintenance starts costing time you do not have.
What moves in the migration
Products with variants and images, product categories as collections, customer accounts, order history, discount codes, blog posts and content pages. We agree per data type what moves and in what form before we start, and verify it together afterwards.
Cost and timeline
A WooCommerce migration typically costs € 8,000 to € 20,000, rising to € 60,000 with B2B functionality, an ERP integration or a very large catalogue. After the audit you get a fixed quote and a plan, usually six to twelve weeks. Want to know where you stand first? Get a free store analysis.
