MagniGeeks migrates stores from Shopify to WooCommerce with a written migration plan, a full rehearsal on staging, URL-by-URL redirects, and a rollback option until you are satisfied. Products, variants, images, customers, order history, discount codes, reviews and SEO data all move. Saved card details do not, and we tell you that up front rather than after launch.
Honest answer: not every store should. Shopify is a good product for stores that fit its model. The businesses that gain from moving to WooCommerce are usually the ones paying for several apps to work around Shopify's limits, paying transaction fees on a third-party gateway, needing checkout or pricing behaviour Shopify does not allow, or wanting to own their data and code outright. If your store is simple and Shopify is not in your way, we will say so on the call. We would rather lose a migration project than deliver one you regret.
| Data | Moves? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Products, variants, images, collections | Yes | Collections become categories or tags; Shopify's option structure is mapped to WooCommerce attributes. |
| Customers | Yes | Names, emails, addresses, tags. Passwords cannot be exported from Shopify, so customers set a new one on first login. |
| Order history | Yes | Imported with status, line items and totals so customer accounts and reports stay complete. |
| Discount codes | Yes | Recreated as WooCommerce coupons. Complex automatic discounts may need custom logic. |
| Reviews | Yes | From the review app you use, where it allows export. |
| SEO titles, descriptions, URLs | Yes | Metadata imported; every old URL redirected to its new one. |
| Saved payment cards | No | Card tokens stay with Shopify Payments. Customers re-enter card details on their next order. |
| Subscriptions | Partly | Subscription records can be recreated, but active billing agreements usually have to be re-authorized by the customer. We plan this with you. |
| Theme | No | Shopify themes are Liquid; WooCommerce themes are PHP. The design is rebuilt, which is a chance to fix what was wrong with it. |
| Apps | No | Each app is replaced with a WooCommerce plugin or custom code. We map these before quoting. |
Migration services move data. They do not build the WooCommerce features that replaced your Shopify apps, and that is where migrations go wrong. We are primarily a plugin and WooCommerce development team, so the custom pricing rule, the B2B ordering flow or the integration your Shopify app handled gets built properly by the same people doing the migration. Our public plugins, WP Responsive Menu and RestroPress, have been on wordpress.org since 2014 and 2018, so the code we leave you with is the kind we maintain ourselves.
Not if the redirects are complete and the new pages keep the same content and metadata. Some movement in the first weeks is normal. Losing rankings permanently is nearly always a redirect map with gaps, which is why ours is tested URL by URL before cutover.
A store with a few hundred products and no custom apps can be done in a few weeks. Stores with tens of thousands of products, subscriptions or many apps take longer because each app becomes a small development project. The audit gives you a real timeline.
Yes. Shopify stays live until cutover, and the final delta import brings across orders placed in between. Downtime at cutover is minutes, not hours.
Those stay with Shopify. Keep the Shopify account open until pending payouts clear and the chargeback window on your last orders has passed. We include this in the plan.
Yes. The process is the same; the export tooling differs. Ask.

★★★★★
He was professional from the very first message, responded quickly at every stage, and took the time to really understand my situation before recommending anything. He explained technical decisions in plain language, never made me feel rushed or talked down to, and was genuinely understanding of my priorities and budget.

He didn't just identify issues, he explained what mattered, why it mattered, and what should be done next without trying to overcomplicate or oversell anything. I came away with a lot of confidence in both his knowledge and his approach. I've already decided to continue working with him on the next phases.

He helped update an old custom Genesis child theme to the latest version and ensure compatibility with PHP 8.4. Along the way, he discovered several other problems that he fixed at no cost. He exceeded my expectations in every way.
