WooCommerce Migration Services
Migrating products and variants from WooCommerce or to WooCommerce is our specialty. WooCommerce separates product and variants into two files, but often when migrating to different e-commerce platform we need to combine the two files in order to create a true parent/child relationship. We go beyond the simply export-import process that most automatic data migration tools allow you to do. We ensure that the new e-commerce platform displays your data in the right way. Therefore, we will help customize your custom fields in the right way! We work with e-commerce developers to ensure that the layout matches the data.

Migrating orders to WooCommerce or from requires nothing more than clicking of the button to import/export. However, depending on the platform you are migrating to, you may need to use APIs that is a bit harder. There is also often a data preparation that is required to match old product IDs to the newly created produced in the new platform. File formats would also need to be prepared to ensure a smooth transition. Speak to us about migrating your orders from WooCommerce or to Woo.
Customer data is important, while most platforms will not allow you to migrate passwords, all other data should be able to come over. Customer data may need to be cleaned and standardized prior to migrating. For example, some systems would like the country name to be “United States”, while others want the 2 digit code which would make United States simply, “US”. This is just one example, of the data preparation that usually goes to ensure a smooth transition between Woo Commerce and other e-commerce platforms.
WooCommerce allows not only Parent and child product categories but also tags and attributes. When migrating to a new solution, you can use these fields to re-categorize your products or improve your current categories to be SEO friendly and match current inventory levels. We can help with creating attributes, tags and categories from your current platform, even if this data is found in description, saving you time in uploading products to WooCommerce.
Meta data is important, without it, your products or website will not be found. Sometimes WooCommerce will not export the meta information as you have used a third party tool to manage your SEO. We can help no only migrate SEO data from 3rd party tools but also ensure that all products as optimized. Learn more about our SEO solution.
Overtime, catalogue data becomes not consistent, outdated, duplicated and incomplete. When migrating catalogue to any platform, you can use this time to ensure that your products are not missing information, description and layout is consistent, there are no duplicates and products are relevant to your current storefront.
