The yearly bill

What staying on Shopify costs, and what moving would.

Put in your own numbers. Card fees are counted on both sides, and so is what WooCommerce adds: hosting and upkeep. If staying is cheaper, it says so.

Moving saves about $2,352 a year.

That’s about $7,056 over three years, more than even a large move costs.

Shopify's published US prices, checked September 2026: plans on monthly billing, Shopify Payments online rates (2.9%, 2.7% or 2.5%) and the extra fee on other providers (2%, 1% or 0.6%). WooCommerce card fees at the standard 2.9% of WooPayments or Stripe. The 30¢ per order is the same on both, so it's left out.

Your customers

What your customers see the morning after.

Six moments a returning customer might have on the new store, what each one looks like, and what we do before the switch so it just works.

One email

They sign in: one email, one new password.

Shopify never releases customer passwords, to anyone, so no store can bring them along. Each customer gets one email with a link to choose a new password, sent when you say, and guest checkout needs nothing at all.

What we do before the switch

  • Accounts imported with names, addresses and order history
  • The email written with you, in your brand's voice and colours
  • Sent in batches, so replies stay easy to answer
How it works

Built beside your store. Switched in its quietest hour.

Two to five weeks on a private copy while Shopify keeps selling, then one short switch at the hour your orders are lowest. How every move works

Orders by hourA store's last 90 days, from its export
Example

The switch: 04:00 to 04:30, your time. 0.5% of a day's orders come in that hour. Your quietest hour is usually our working day, so the switch is done wide awake.

2 to 5 weeksBuilt on a private copy: products, customers, orders, the theme and every redirect, tested with you.

  1. Checkout pausedA short notice on the store. Browsing and carts keep working.
  2. The last orders moveOrders, new customers and stock since the last copy, moved exactly.
  3. The address switchesOn a five-minute timer set days before. Both stores answer while it spreads.
  4. A real test orderPaid, emailed and refunded on the live store.
  5. Checkout opens on WooCommerceOrder numbers carry on from Shopify's last one.

2 weeks afterOrders, emails, Search Console and 404s checked daily. Then you close the Shopify plan.

Rankings

Your Shopify URLs, kept or redirected.

Every Shopify store has the same URL shapes. WooCommerce can keep the two that matter most, /products/ and /collections/, so the addresses Google knows best don't change at all. Everything else gets a one-to-one redirect.

  • Every URL in your Shopify sitemap crawled before and after
  • Titles, descriptions, alt text and product reviews carried over
  • Search Console told the same day, 404s watched for two weeks
The price

How much it costs to move from Shopify to WooCommerce.

One fixed price and a date, sent after a free look at your store and its exports, before any work starts.

  • Up to about 500 products, a standard checkout$1,499 to $2,999Products, customers and every past order moved, the theme rebuilt, every Shopify URL answered.

What moves from Shopify to WooCommerce, and what has to be rebuilt?

Products, variants, images, inventory, customers, full order history, discount codes, blog posts, pages, and SEO titles and descriptions all move as data. Three things can't leave Shopify as they are: customer passwords, saved cards, and gift card codes (Shopify's export shows only their last four characters). So customers set a new password from one email, subscribers on Shopify Payments add a card once, and gift card holders get new codes with the same balance. The theme, checkout, payment gateway, taxes and shipping zones are rebuilt on WooCommerce, and each app is matched to a WooCommerce extension, a core feature, or custom code.

Will I lose my Google rankings when I leave Shopify?

Not if every URL is answered. Shopify URLs have fixed shapes (/products/, /collections/, /blogs/, /pages/). WooCommerce can keep /products/ and /collections/ exactly as they are, and every other address gets a one-to-one 301 to its WooCommerce page, generated from your export and tested with a crawler before and after the switch. Titles, descriptions, and alt text move with the content, and Search Console is told about the move the same day.

Will my store go down during the migration?

No. The WooCommerce store is built beside your live Shopify store and cut over by DNS on a short TTL, so browsing never stops. Checkout pauses once, for 15 to 30 minutes, while the last orders and stock counts are moved exactly; it reopens on WooCommerce with order numbers continuing where Shopify left off.

Is WooCommerce really cheaper than Shopify?

Often, not always. The difference is Shopify's plan, your paid apps and, if you don't use Shopify Payments, Shopify's extra fee on every sale. WooCommerce adds hosting and upkeep, and card fees are close on both. The calculator on this page puts your own numbers side by side, and the scope says plainly if staying is cheaper for you.

What happens to Shop Pay and my Shopify apps?

Shop Pay can come too, in some cases: Shopify now offers it on other platforms, through its API, to stores that qualify for Shopify Payments. If your customers rely on it, the scope checks whether yours qualifies and prices the work. Either way, checkout gets express payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Link) on a guest-first page. Each app gets a WooCommerce answer in the scope: an extension, a core feature, or a small custom plugin written for your rules.

Do my customers need new accounts or passwords?

Accounts move with their order history. Shopify does not export password hashes, so customers set a new password the first time they log in on WooCommerce (a one-click reset email). Guest checkout works without an account at all.

How long does a Shopify to WooCommerce migration take?

Two to five weeks for most stores, built beside your live store the whole time. Catalogue size, the number of apps needing an answer, and whether the design is rebuilt or redesigned are what move it.

How much does it cost to migrate from Shopify to WooCommerce?

Most stores land between $1,499 and $4,999, fixed after a free scope of your Shopify export. Hosting and an optional care plan are separate and monthly; they are shown on the cost comparison so nothing is a surprise.
