Shopify to WooCommerce migration
Bring your Shopify storefront into WordPress with a clear plan for the catalog, customers, and checkout. Norml builds the WooCommerce site, maps the agreed store records, and checks the extensions that will handle payments, shipping, and ongoing operations. Hosting and maintenance become part of the destination setup, with ownership agreed before launch.

What we do
Move Shopify into WooCommerce with catalog and order mapping, a WordPress storefront, replacement extensions, and launch verification.
What the migration covers
Product data can be transferred separately from storefront design and app behavior. We review all three so the new store supports the way you sell.

- Migrations
- Current platform
- Shopify
- Destination
- WooCommerce
- Catalog and product presentationWe map Shopify products, variants, images, SKUs, and collections to the agreed WooCommerce structure. Additional product fields need a destination definition. A representative import checks variation choices, stock values, galleries, and product descriptions before the full catalog is moved.01
- Customers and historical ordersWe assess a supported importer or API route for the agreed customer and order records. Source identifiers help reconcile repeat imports and customer associations. Historical records are checked against the original totals and statuses; they must not trigger duplicate fulfillment or customer messages.02
- WordPress storefront and extensionsShopify themes and apps do not install as WooCommerce components. We build the storefront and agree replacements for essential features, including product options, reviews, discount behavior, and delivery rules. The chosen setup must work for editors as well as shoppers.03
- Checkout, redirects and cutoverThe launch scope covers payment configuration, shipping rules, customer sign-in, notifications, and URL mapping. Orders and inventory created during the build need a final reconciliation. We define who owns pending orders and how the old store remains available for reference.04
Client reviews
“Norml Studio's professionalism and responsiveness were impressive.”
“They were proactive in suggesting improvements we hadn't considered.”
“They delivered what they said they would, on time.”
“They focused on how to make our daily operations easier, not just on building features for the sake of it.”
“They understood that the app needed to be practical for someone sitting in a car, not just look good on a desktop.”
“Their level of dedication to the success of the project and GoPetZen's business as a whole is unique.”
What we need before the move
- Shopify access and destination hostingWe need authorized access to store data, app configuration, domain settings, and the WordPress hosting environment. Share the required sales channels and exceptional order examples so the replacement workflow can be checked.01
- Accounts, subscriptions and maintenanceShopify APIs do not provide customer passwords for a WooCommerce import. Account access needs a destination sign-in plan. Recurring billing, payment credentials, and app-managed balances require separate feasibility checks. WordPress updates, backups, and ongoing monitoring need an assigned owner.02
How we prepare the move
- [Agree records and replacements]Step 01
Identify catalog types, apps, historical records, and checkout behavior. Define which data must appear in WooCommerce and which records may stay in an accessible archive.
- [Trial the destination]Step 02
Build the storefront and run a sample import. Review variable products, customer records, order associations, and the extensions that handle payment and shipping.
- [Reconcile and release]Step 03
Test the agreed purchasing and operational flows using approved test methods. Import final changes, verify redirects and domain settings, and hand over the editing and store-management instructions.

Let's chat
“I've spent 10 years working across development and marketing. I started as a developer, but design, SEO and advertising were already part of the job. That taught me to treat a website as one system: the business, the content, the design and the code have to work together. At Norml, I lead the architecture behind our work and stay involved wherever strategy, design, development and search meet.”

Questions about the migration
Can customers keep their account passwords?
Shopify does not expose those passwords through its APIs. We set up the WooCommerce account-access approach and agree how customers will activate or recover access. Importing a profile is separate from transferring a login credential.
Can Shopify apps be replaced?
We map required behavior to WooCommerce extensions, external integrations, or custom work. A replacement may use a different workflow. We confirm the features your team needs before selecting and configuring it.
Can historical orders and reviews move?
Supported migration tools can handle defined order records; reviews often require an export from the review app. We check the available fields and sample results first. Payment transactions are not recreated simply because an order record is imported.
