Moving your store from WooCommerce to Magento
WooCommerce is a plugin on top of WordPress. That works fine until your store gets big. When the site slows down, the plugins start fighting, and every update feels risky, it is time to move. We move your whole store to Magento and bring your products, customers, orders, content and rankings with you.
- Nothing is lost, we check the numbers
- Redirects keep your search traffic
- We have done Magento since 2009
- You get a fixed price up front
What comes across
- Products, categories and images
- Customers and past orders
- Your blog posts and pages
- Your URLs and Google rankings
It is rarely one big thing
You do not decide to leave WooCommerce overnight. It wears you down slowly.
The site gets a little slower every few months. One morning a plugin update breaks the checkout, and a customer is the one who tells you. You are running twenty or thirty plugins and you are nervous to touch any of them, because you are not sure which one is quietly holding the place together. Your host emails to say, again, that you need a bigger server to cope with the traffic.
None of that is the platform doing anything wrong. It is a tool that began life for blogging being asked to run a serious shop, and starting to creak under the weight.
The slow days and the risky updates add up
Some of the cost is your time. Hours go into keeping plugins happy, testing updates before they break something, and patching security holes, instead of growing the business.
The rest is sales you never see. A site that crawls on your busiest day is a checkout people give up on. An update you keep putting off because it might break things is a feature you never ship. And a store stitched together from dozens of plugins has that many more doors for someone to try, which is a worry you end up carrying every single day.
A platform built for shops, not blogs
Magento was made to run commerce, so the things you bolt onto WooCommerce are already part of it. Catalog, pricing, promotions, checkout and B2B come built in, not as a stack of add-ons that may or may not get along.
That means fewer moving parts to break, a site that stays fast as your catalog and traffic grow, and updates that no longer feel like a gamble. If you sell to other businesses, the company accounts and pricing are already there. If you run more than one brand or region, you can run them all from one place.
Mostly, it means you go back to spending your time on selling, not on nursing the site.
The move, step by step
Your WooCommerce store keeps running while we build and check the new one. You only switch once it is ready.
We look at your store
We go through your products, your plugin list and the way you sell, and decide what each plugin becomes in Magento. Then you get a fixed price and timeline before any work starts.
We copy your data over
Products, customers, orders and your WordPress content move to a test version of the new store, while your live shop keeps taking orders.
We rebuild and protect your SEO
We rebuild your design on Magento to load faster, and point every old web address to its new one so Google keeps sending you traffic.
We test, then switch you over
We check the data, the checkout and payments, then go live at a quiet time. If anything looks wrong, we can switch back the same day.
You do not leave anything behind
- All your products, options and images
- Your customers and their order history
- Coupons, discounts and price rules
- Your WordPress posts, pages and media
- Your web addresses, with redirects set up
- Page titles and descriptions for SEO
- The plugin features you rely on
- Your design, rebuilt to load faster
This is the only thing we do
We have worked on Magento since 2009 and built more than 3000 stores. We do not split our time across five platforms. Because of that, moving a store off WooCommerce is normal, well-worn work for us, not a first attempt on your shop.
Our developers are certified, and the team runs across the USA and India, so there is someone on your project through the working day. If you want to see what the work leads to, our portfolio has the real stores, with what we did and how they turned out.
The things people worry about
Will I lose my Google rankings?
This is the worry we hear most, and it is fair, because a bad move can drop your traffic. It comes down to redirects, which are our job. We point every old WooCommerce address to the matching new one and keep your page titles, so Google sees the same shop at a new address. Done right, your rankings come with you.
Will my store be down while you move it?
No. Your WooCommerce store keeps selling the whole time we build and test the new one. The switch over happens at a quiet hour and only takes a short while, and we keep the old store ready in case we need to switch back.
What happens to all my plugins?
The plugins do not move, but what they do for you can. We go through the ones you actually use, find the same feature inside Magento, and set it up. You often end up with far fewer moving parts than you had before.
Can I keep my WordPress blog?
Yes. Your posts and pages come across. You can run your content inside Magento, or keep WordPress for the blog and Magento for the shop. We will tell you which is cleaner for your case.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
It depends on the size of your catalog and how many plugins you run. That is what the free check is for. We look at your store first, then give you one fixed price and a clear timeline, so there are no surprises later.
