What Data can be Imported from WooCommerce to Shopify?
While WooCommerce and Shopify are both eCommerce platforms, they have some differences in how they store data. Additionally, other WordPress plugins can further extend WooCommerce's capabilities, and that data can be stored however the developer decides.
Learn which information is migrated from WooCommerce to Shopify while using Ablestar WooCommerce Importer app.
Overview
Our app connects to the WooCommerce API on your WordPress site and transfers the data to Shopify, adjusting data as necessary. This means that all products, variants, images, and orders can be transferred.
If you have features on your store (either WooCommerce or Shopify) that require other plugins or apps, we are unable to automatically transfer that data.
If this is the case for your store, please refer to the 'Importing Other Data' section below.
Product Data
Default Fields:
The app will automatically migrate the following fields from WooCommerce to Shopify:
- Product Title
- Short Description
- Long Description
- Categories
- Tags
- Published State
- Brand
- Product Images
- Product Images Alt Text
Product Variant Fields:
- SKU

Order Data
The following data is imported for each order:
- Order ID

- Email Address

Each order has one or more line items which include the following:

Customer Data
If you only import customers, the following fields will be migrated:

In order to create links between orders and customers, both orders and customers must be imported.
Importing Other Data
You might have additional information that you would like to migrate like:
- WordPress user accounts
- Barcode data stored within a separate WordPress plugin
- Multi-level categories
In most cases, we may be able to import this data, provided that you export the necessary data to a CSV file for us.
