WooCommerce to Shopify Migration
Full platform migration for an activewear brand. Around 400 products, 12,000 customer records, 3 years of order history. All scripted via the Shopify API. Zero orphaned pages after launch.
What was migrated
- 400+ products with full variant architecture and metafield structure designed before import
- 12,000 customer records
- 3 years of order history
- All 301 redirects from WooCommerce URL structure to Shopify URL structure, scripted via API
- SEO copy pass on all product pages post-import
How it was done
Metafield architecture was designed before a single product was imported. Product data was validated in Python: no missing required fields, no wrong data types, no price errors. Redirects were scripted via the Shopify API. No manual entry. A post-launch crawl found zero orphaned pages. Traffic recovered within six weeks of going live.
