Migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify – [2023]

First of all you need to sign up to Shopify so we’ll have somewhere to migrate to. Shopify has many comfortable plans, but the best part about it, is the fact that you can try it out for 14 days – free of charge.

The first thing you need to do for a successful migration, is to export your data from WooCommerce.

Here is how you do that:

1. In your WordPress dashboard, click on Tools > Export
2. Select – the All Content radio button (you can’t choose several individual options, only 1, so choose “All content”)
3. Click the Download Export File button

If you don’t already have it installed, go to the Shopify importer tool, and install it on your store.

After exporting your WooCommerce info, it’s time to import that info into Shopify.

Here is how you do that:

1. Go to your Shopify Admin
2. Click Add File
3. Now select the file that you downloaded from WooCommerce
4. Click Import
5. Go over what was imported

Technically, here you are done. Everything has been imported. Below are several additional options that can be done.

If you had any type of CSV import error, read Shopify’s manual about dealing with CSV import errors.

Say you imported an entire WooCommerce site and you don’t like the outcome. No problem. Just delete it.

Note that you can only delete your last import so choose wisely.

Here is how you delete everything:

On the Import Complete page, locate the Delete Import button then click it.

Then on the Delete Import dialog, click Delete Import only again.

Done.

If you want to try to import a different file once again, just click on Start new import to start over again.

Assuming everything went smoothly, you should now be able to see all of your products and customers in your Shopify admin. If for some reason, you are missing some of your products or customers, no problem. You can just add them manually.

Since there are sop many types of WooCommerce builds, you can never be 100% successful. Sometimes the import will go through, but you will see some messages in the final dialog. If your imported items have changes, then you will see that in the Products to review section. Just go over everything, check out the messages, and if needed, you can change things manually by clicking the view items button.

If your imported items don’t have dimensions which are needed, just add the dimensions directly to the product description.
