Who moves from WordPress to Shopify?

This page is for WordPress sites that don't use WooCommerce. If you run a WooCommerce store, see our WooCommerce migration page.

Content site

A blog with traffic

Brands that have published content for years, get steady visitors from Google and now want to sell their own products.

Posts move to the Shopify blog
Products are linked from posts
Traffic connects directly to sales

Catalogue or company site

A showcase that doesn't sell

Businesses that present their products on WordPress and take orders by phone, WhatsApp or a form.

The catalogue becomes Shopify products
Payments and shipping set up from scratch
Forms become an order flow

What moves from WordPress

WordPress content is pulled from the export file (XML) and the REST API. Shopify has no built-in tool that imports WordPress content directly, so we move posts with apps and our own import process.

Moves over

Blog posts, categories and tags
Pages (about, contact, FAQ)
Images and featured images
Yoast or Rank Math meta titles and descriptions
Author details
Catalogue content, as Shopify products

Stays behind

WordPress theme and page builder (Elementor, Gutenberg block) layouts
Plugin settings
Comments (can be imported with an app if needed)

Yeniden kurulur

Page designs, with sections in a Shopify theme
Contact and quote forms
Membership and newsletter flows
Payments, shipping and policies

WordPress URLs and their Shopify equivalents

On Shopify, blog posts live under /blogs/blog-name/ and pages under /pages/. Whatever your permalink structure, every URL is 301 redirected to its new equivalent.

Your blog traffic keeps working on Shopify

The value of a WordPress site often lies in content built up over years. We move posts with their meta data, internal links and images, and link from content to relevant products to turn traffic into sales.

Old internal links in posts updated to the new URLs
Images moved to Shopify Files
Structured data kept in the Shopify blog template
Search Console monitoring after launch

Can I move my WordPress blog to Shopify?

Yes. Posts, categories, tags, images and meta data move to the Shopify blog. Shopify has no built-in tool to import WordPress content directly, so we do it with apps and our own process.

Will I lose SEO when moving from WordPress to Shopify?

Losses are kept to a minimum when every old URL is 301 redirected, meta titles and descriptions are preserved and internal links are updated. We monitor Search Console with you after launch.

What happens to the pages I built with Elementor?

Page builder layouts can't be moved to Shopify. We rebuild those pages with Shopify theme sections that your team can edit without code.

I use WooCommerce. Is this page for me?

WooCommerce stores also move product, customer and order data, so we follow a separate process. See our WooCommerce to Shopify migration page.

Will my domain change?

No. Your current domain is connected to Shopify, and if your email is with another provider, the MX records are preserved.

How is the migration priced?

Based on product and order volume, integrations and design scope. We send a written quote after the audit; we don't publish package prices.
