WooCommerce to Shopify Migration Cost in 2026: What You’ll Actually Pay

WooCommerce stores usually move to Shopify for the same reasons: plugin updates that break things, hosting that struggles at peak times, and developer bills that keep growing. The first question is what the move will cost. This guide breaks down typical migration prices by store size, what drives them, and what you'll pay to run the store afterwards, using published figures and clearly labeled estimates.

The short answer: published agency ranges put a WooCommerce to Shopify migration at about $2,000–$10,000 for a small store, $10,000–$50,000 for a mid-size store and $80,000–$150,000 or more for an enterprise or B2B store. Integrations, custom features and design work drive most of the cost, not product count. After launch, you swap hosting, plugins and maintenance for a Shopify plan from $39 a month, plus apps.

Migration cost at a glance

These are planning ranges, not quotes:

Store profile	Typical one-time cost	Typical timeline
Small: under 1,000 products, standard theme, few plugins	$2,000–$10,000	4–8 weeks
Mid-size: 1,000–10,000 products, custom theme, several integrations	$10,000–$50,000	6–10 weeks
Enterprise or B2B: 10,000+ products, ERP, customer-specific pricing	$80,000–$150,000+	3–6 months

Cost ranges from Presta's WooCommerce to Shopify cost breakdown, which also gives market ranges for each part of a project. Timelines are the ones we plan to on our own WooCommerce to Shopify migrations; your audit sets the real figure.

Cheaper options. Shopify's CSV import is free, and migration apps and freelancers can move basic products and customers for a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. They suit very small, simple stores. They don't rebuild your design, replace plugins, reconnect integrations or protect your Google rankings, which is where most of the real work sits.

What drives the price

The same source puts these market ranges on each part of a project:

Work	Typical range
Data migration	$500–$2,000 basic; $3,000–$10,000 with custom attributes and metafields
SEO and redirects	$1,000–$3,000 automated; $5,000–$15,000 with a manual audit
Theme and design	$2,000–$5,000 basic; $15,000–$30,000 heavily customized; $30,000–$80,000 from scratch
ERP integration	$20,000–$80,000
Post-launch support	$2,000–$5,000 for 30 days

The factors that move your number most:

1. Plugins. Every WooCommerce plugin needs a replacement: a built-in Shopify feature, an app or a small custom app. Many, such as discounts, shipping rules and analytics, are built into Shopify.
2. Subscriptions. WooCommerce Subscriptions data moves to a Shopify subscription app. Active subscriptions need careful planning so renewals keep working.
3. Integrations. ERP, 3PL, accounting and marketing connections need rebuilding and testing.
4. Design. Moving your current design costs less than a redesign. Many brands combine the two, because the theme is being rebuilt anyway.
5. Content. WooCommerce sites often carry a large WordPress blog. Posts, images and internal links all need moving and redirecting.
6. SEO. Shopify uses fixed paths such as /products/ and /collections/, so most WooCommerce URLs change. Each needs a 301 redirect, tested before launch.

What you'll pay to run the store

On WooCommerce today: hosting (from a few dollars a month on shared hosting to hundreds on managed servers), a theme, paid extensions, card processing (WooPayments lists about 2.5–2.9% + 30¢ per US card transaction, per WooCommerce pricing), and developer time for updates, security and fixes.

On Shopify: a subscription, with hosting, security, checkout and platform updates included:

Plan	Billed monthly	Billed yearly
Basic	$39/month	$29/month
Grow	$105/month	$79/month
Advanced	$399/month	$299/month
Shopify Plus	From $2,500/month (1-year term)	From $2,300/month (3-year term)

How to keep the cost down

• Cut before you move. Remove plugins, product attributes and pages nobody uses.
• Use built-in Shopify features first, before adding apps.
• Start from a good theme instead of designing from scratch, then improve after launch.
• Phase integrations. Launch with the essentials and add the rest once the store is live.
• Avoid peak season. Launch well before Black Friday, not during it.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to migrate from WooCommerce to Shopify? Published agency ranges are about $2,000–$10,000 for a small store, $10,000–$50,000 for a mid-size store and $80,000–$150,000 or more for an enterprise or B2B store.

How long does a WooCommerce to Shopify migration take? Typically 4–8 weeks for a small store, 6–10 weeks for a mid-size store and 3–6 months for an enterprise or B2B build.

Can I migrate WooCommerce to Shopify myself? For a small, simple store, yes, using Shopify's CSV import or a migration app. You'll still need to set up redirects, replace plugins and rebuild your design.

Will I lose my Google rankings? Not with a full redirect plan. Every old URL needs a 301 redirect to its new Shopify address. See our Shopify migration SEO guide.

Do customers need new passwords? No. Passwords can't move between platforms, but Shopify's current customer accounts sign people in with a one-time email code. See migrating customer accounts to Shopify.

Is Shopify more expensive than WooCommerce? For a very small store run by someone comfortable with WordPress, WooCommerce can be cheaper. As a store grows, hosting, plugins and maintenance usually close the gap.
