Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to all my data when we switch?
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Everything from your WooCommerce products to your customer info and past orders moves over safely to Shopify. We make sure nothing gets left behind or messed up.
Will my store look the same on Shopify?
That’s totally up to you! Once we perform the migration, we can keep the look of your store platform pretty much the same. If you’re feeling a refresh, we can help redesign it to give your store a brand-new vibe.
How long does the whole migration process take?
It depends on the size and complexity of your store, but generally, it takes a few weeks to get everything moved and all the imported data fine-tuned. We’ll give you a timeline upfront so you know what to expect.
Can you transfer customer passwords?
Generally, passwords are encrypted and cannot be directly accessed or moved. However, there’s a smooth workaround. Once the migration is complete, you can prompt your customers to reset their passwords on the new Shopify site.
Will a Shopify migration app do just as well?
While a Shopify migration app can handle basic transfers effectively, if your WooCommerce site has complex customizations or extensive data, an app might not capture everything perfectly. These tools are great for straightforward migrations but may fall short in terms of data security, seamless integration, product configurations, and other important aspects.
