How to Migrate WooCommerce to Shopify

This post will guide you step by step to completely transfer WooCommerce products to Shopify with free migration Shopify app. The migration process is simple and straight forward. You need to have access to both WooCommerce admin and Shopify admin, with rights to export and import data from the server.

I am going to walk you through the process and also share my personal experience of migrating a few WooCommerce stores to Shopify Store. The WooCommerce to Shopify migration is simple, but there are a few things that must know, otherwise you will get frustrated quickly.

Shopify does not publish your products once your products and customers are imported in, you manually need to make your products available to the desired channels like Google, Facebook, Online, etc. New sales channels get added every year to Shopify system, which is why it is the best eCommerce CMS at the moment.

Clean The Garbage

Before you make your newly imported, WooCommerce products available to Shopify sales channels, check the collections, WooCommerce categories get converted to Shopify Collections. Also check each product tags, Shopify generates unnecessary tags that you might not want to publish.
