Import WooCommerce Products to Shopify
There are three realistic ways to import products from WooCommerce to Shopify, and the right one depends on how many products you have. A full store move is best done with a CSV export or a migration app. Ecopy suits a smaller job: copying individual products from a WooCommerce page into Shopify, with the title, description, images and price, so you can finish them there.

Three ways to move WooCommerce products to Shopify
Pick the method by the size of the job. Moving a few products is quick in any of them. Moving hundreds of variable products, with reviews, customers and URLs, needs a tool built for migration.
- ✓CSV export: WooCommerce can export products to a CSV file, and Shopify can import products from a CSV. It is free, but you need to match the columns to Shopify's template.
- ✓Migration app: apps on the Shopify App Store, such as LitExtension, MigrationPro or Next-Cart, move products, customers and orders, and some create redirects. Most charge by the amount of data.
- ✓Ecopy: copy individual products from their WooCommerce page through the Chrome extension, then finish them in Shopify.
What Ecopy imports from WooCommerce, and what it does not
Ecopy reads the product page as it appears in your browser. It brings in the title, the description shown on the page, the product images and the price. It does not read your WooCommerce database, so variations, SKUs, stock, categories, tags, customers, orders and reviews are not imported.
For a simple product, that is usually all you need. For a variable product with many options, add the variants in Shopify after the import, or use a CSV or migration app instead.
Protect your SEO when you move the whole store
WooCommerce and Shopify use different URL structures. Shopify product URLs always start with /products/, so most of your old product URLs will change. Set up 301 redirects from each old URL to its new one, in Shopify's URL redirects settings or through your migration app, so you keep the rankings and links you have built.
- ✓Keep a list of every old product and category URL before you switch
- ✓Copy over SEO titles and meta descriptions
- ✓Redirect each old URL to the closest new page, not all to the home page
- ✓Submit your new sitemap in Google Search Console after the move
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I import products from WooCommerce to Shopify?
For a whole store, export your products to CSV from WooCommerce and import the file into Shopify, or use a migration app. For a few products, Ecopy's Chrome extension can copy each one from its product page.
Does Ecopy import WooCommerce variations?
No. Ecopy reads the product page, so it imports the title, description, images and price. Add variants in Shopify after the import, or use a CSV or migration app for variable products.
Can Ecopy migrate my whole WooCommerce store?
No. Ecopy imports WooCommerce products one at a time. It does not move customers, orders, reviews or redirects. Use a migration app for a full store move.
Will I lose my Google rankings when I move to Shopify?
Not if you redirect every old URL to its new Shopify page with a 301 redirect and keep your titles and descriptions. Rankings can still move for a few weeks after a migration.
Can I keep WooCommerce and add Shopify?
Yes. Ecopy only reads your WooCommerce product pages and changes nothing on your WordPress site.
