THE THINKING BEHIND THE WORK
A migration is more than moving product data.
A migration needs more than imported products. Navigation, URLs, search visibility, app costs and the way the store operates all need attention. I plan those decisions before making changes.
Plan the redirects. Check the catalogue. Test the experience. Then launch.

Quality Liquor Store — WooCommerce to Shopify migration and ongoing support.
WHAT I CAN HELP WITH
Everything connected, from catalogue to checkout.
A successful migration is a series of coordinated decisions, not a single import.
Products, collections and data mapping
Prepare and map product information, variants, images, vendors, categories and collections for Shopify’s structure.
URL mapping and redirects
Preserve important routes where possible and plan appropriate redirects for changed URLs, including high-value pages discovered through search.
Theme selection and storefront setup
Choose and configure an established Shopify theme with layouts and navigation suited to your catalogue and brand.
Integrations and operations
Review required apps, analytics, customer accounts, shipping, tax and payment considerations with the relevant stakeholders.
Pre-launch QA and post-launch checks
Test product navigation, checkout, redirects, content, tracking and mobile layouts, then review the new site after launch.
SELECTED WORK
WooCommerce to Shopify, with support beyond launch.
Quality Liquor Store is an example of a migration that developed into a long-term working relationship, covering catalogue structure, storefront features, SEO and ongoing improvements.

Questions about moving your store to Shopify.
A few useful answers before you decide what your store needs.
Need an answer about your specific store? Book a consultation
Can you migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify?
Yes. I have worked on WooCommerce-to-Shopify migration, including the move for Quality Liquor Store.
Will I lose my Google rankings during a migration?
A migration can cause temporary ranking and traffic changes. URL mapping, correct redirects and careful checks help reduce avoidable risks, but rankings cannot be guaranteed.
Can you move my customer accounts and order history?
That depends on the source platform, Shopify capabilities and data format. We can assess what can be migrated and any customer reactivation or account limitations before committing to scope.
Do I need a brand new design?
Not necessarily. A migration can be paired with a redesign, or we can focus on a familiar experience using a suitable Shopify theme.
How long will a migration take?
It depends on catalogue complexity, integrations, content volume and the amount of testing needed. I provide a project plan after reviewing the existing store.
