How to migrate orders from WooCommerce to Shopify

This guide shows you how to migrate your WooCommerce orders to Shopify.

You can import your order history and customer data so everything is available in Shopify.

This helps you keep your past sales and reporting data.

How order migration works

During migration:

• Orders are imported into Shopify
• Customers are linked to their orders
• Order details (products, prices and dates) are preserved

Your order history will be available in Shopify after the import.

Important to know

Shopify stores orders differently than WooCommerce.

• Imported orders are stored for reference and reporting
• They are not active orders

This means your data is preserved, but orders behave slightly differently in Shopify.

Why migrate orders

Migrating orders helps you:

• Keep your sales history
• View past customer activity
• Use reports and analytics in Shopify

Pricing

Order migration is included in the WooCommerce Importer pricing.

You only pay once based on the number of orders.

When to import orders

Most stores import orders:

• After testing with a demo migration
• Before launching their Shopify store

You can choose when to import orders in the app.

Common questions

Will my orders look exactly the same?
Most data is preserved, but Shopify stores orders differently than WooCommerce.

Will my customers receive order emails?
No, your customers will not receive any emails when their past orders are imported.
Your store may still send notifications to staff members. If you’d like to turn those off during the migration, you can follow this guide on disabling Shopify order notifications for staff

Can I import orders again?
Yes. You only pay once and re-importing is free.
