Move to WooCommerce
We migrate your online shop to WordPress with WooCommerce
The reasons for and against a shop move
For a move speaks to WooCommerce:
- Your current system is no longer being developed or the pace is not satisfactory.
- Your current system does not allow the connection of further software systems.
- Your current system closes security gaps too slowly or is not legally compliant.
- You have a customised shop solution and your agency hires support.
- You are missing important functions to successfully market and develop your shop.
Against a move speaks to WooCommerce:
- Existing connections to other software systems must also be moved.
- Your staff and service providers need to learn and use a new system.
- Your current ranking in search engines is in danger (SEO). It needs to be transferred professionally.
- With the shop move, the hosting may also have to be changed in order to meet the requirements.

Customers for whom we have moved WooCommerce shops
Migration from Shopify, Shopware 5, Shopware 6, Magento, PrestaShop, xt:Commerce or your own development
A shop relocation is the right time to implement a more modern design, optimised user guidance and new functions.
We as Internet agency are specialised in WooCommerce shops and have experience from more than 100 realised projects in this area.
When moving to WooCommerce from another shop system, the seamless Data migration a very important point (and cost factor).
Here is a small overview of the common methods of data migration to WooCommerce.
Manual method with Copy&Paste
If you only have a few products in your current shop, simply copying and pasting is a practical way. However, texts, images, prices and other features have to be copied and pasted individually into the WooCommerce shop. With more than 100 products, this is an exhausting activity, as you have to remain very concerted over the long term.
Nevertheless, mistakes happen again and again with this method, which have to be corrected in the second pass.
Customer and order data are usually not copied with this method. On the one hand, there are technical reasons for this, and on the other hand, it is usually not worth the effort. A loss of customer data and order history is therefore the consequence of this method.
Semi-manual method
CSV export and import via WordPress (if necessary with plugin)
Some online shops offer the function of a CSV or XML export of data. If product data, orders and customer data can be exported as CSV or XML, this is a possible method to migrate data to WooCommerce. However, since the data structure in the existing shop most likely does not correspond to that of WooCommerce, the fields must be "mapped".
If data fields are transmitted that WooCommerce does not provide, these must be sorted out or ignored. On the other hand, WooCommerce may require data fields that do not exist in the old shop. In this case, they must be entered manually or filled in with a default value.
A WordPress plugin like e.g. WP All Import can make it easier to assign the data fields. Nevertheless, with this method advanced knowledge to WooCommerce is necessary to implement a successful data migration.
Automated import and export
There are service providers who have specialised in the data migration of online shops. One of the first providers is Cart2Cart. The company from the USA offers automated data migration of many common shop systems to WooCommerce (and other systems). The service is generally subject to a fee and is initially calculated according to the number of entries (products, orders, customers).
However, since many shop owners do not achieve the desired result with automated data migration, you can also buy individual support from these providers. The price is based on the amount of work involved and is billed in packages. Through outsourcing to the Ukraine or India, among other places, the hourly rate is 30-50 euros. The company claims that the success rate is very high. We cannot confirm this, however, as a complex data migration is also accompanied by good communication in the native language (German).
Professional data migration
Of course, the path via a professional Internet agency the safest way to transfer the data completely from the current shop to WooCommerce. With a complex data structure, not only do fields have to be assigned, but fields may have to be linked or separated.
Data from connected software systems (e.g. an enterprise resource planning system) must also be taken into account individually and can only be transferred correctly by a standard solution in rare cases.
In addition, there is the Possibility to optimise the data. Either for improved usability or optimised further processing of the data (fulfilment, accounting or similar).
We are happy to be your partner for a successful data migration. Please note that we only Data migration to WooCommerce carry out!

General services for WooCommerce
As an internet agency for WooCommerce, we offer a comprehensive service package in addition to shop migration. Here are some of our core services. Further services are available on request.
Plugin development
The selection of available plugins is huge, but finite.
Naturally we also program our own plugins for special functions.
These range from the labelling of advertisements on overview pages to a factorial price calculation of grouped products and the display of availability in the list view.
WooCommerce connection
We connect your WooCommerce shop to both your existing Existing merchandise management or your ERP system as well as to all common marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay or Etsy an.
Systems from Datev, SAP, Sage or JTL can be connected indirectly via the existing interface.
The connection works either via "middleware", which acts as a link between merchandise management or the marketplace and the shop, or with a plugin. Orders, stock and product data are synchronised in real time.
Search engine optimisation
The Search engine optimisation (SEO) for WooCommerce shops is one of our Core competences.
The smartest web design is usually of no use to a web shop if it is not in the Google search appears.
In order to save costs and work efficiently, the Search engine optimisation from the start of the project is an essential performance area that can influence the site structure, content and functionality.
Content planning and content design
To bring the web design to life, it needs Texts, images, graphics and videos (summarised as content). The content on a website is the basis for the Search engine optimisation. It doesn't work without it! In our non-binding initial consultation, we determine which content is available, which can be adopted, which content needs to be revised and which parts should be newly created.
Accessibility according to BITV or WCAG
Some organisations, in particular the "public sector", are already obliged to Accessible WordPress website and shops. Through the Barrier-Free Act the circle expands to include companies in the private sector.
From a technical point of view, webshops with WoCommerce can in principle be realised barrier-free. It goes without saying that we take into account the accessibility requirements in the web design and in the organisation of all functions of the web shop.
In addition, we carry the BITV test for the webshop and create a mandatory Declaration of accessibility (also in simple language)
Training for WooCommerce
For many companies, the webshop is a critical factor in their success.
It is therefore logical to have the expertise to update the web shop and process orders efficiently within the company.
In our Trainings for groups or for individuals, we show the more important functions and explain clearly the connections between technology, design and search engine optimisation.
WooCommerce update service
We provide our customers with regular updates for WooCommerce, WordPress and other plugins. We also provide the following for our customers prompt support (within 24 hours on weekdays).
How to create your new WooCommerce shop
We analyse your shop
With our Scan analysis tools we immediately check your current shop and gain insights into the scope. We then create an individual questionnaire that we discuss with you personally.
Based on our analyses and your goals, we advise you on available options for action and make recommendations. Based on our experience, we can quickly assess which method is suitable for migration.
Advice with recommendations
Fixed price offer with project and time planning
Once the options have been discussed and a joint decision has been made, we draw up a concept and a Fixed price offer. We will discuss the offer with you again so that there are no misunderstandings. If you agree, we can start with the relocation of the shop.
We usually start with the transfer of the Data into a test system.
The design and the desired functions are developed on this basis. Shortly before going live, the Data reconciled againThis ensures that no data is lost and that unnecessary errors are avoided in the course of the relaunch.
Realisation in the test system
Acceptance of the webshop & live connection
Once all your requirements have been implemented and testing has been completed, the shop is ready for your approval. Only after you have given your approval will your new WooCommerce web shop be sent to a planned date online.
After going live, the webshop will be fully tested again. Of course, we will continue to be at your disposal for further development. We are also happy to take over the updates for you and provide prompt support.
