When WordPress updates, plugin conflicts and checkout maintenance compete with selling, your team pays in time and delayed improvements. Move your commerce operation to Shopify with a plan for the workflows customers rely on and the content that brings them to your store.

What your upgrade includes

Move the store and its history. Map products, variations, images, customers, consent, orders and custom fields. Reconcile totals, associations and inventory before launch.

Replace business behavior thoughtfully. Assess subscriptions, memberships, bundles, reviews and custom pricing. Review payment provider eligibility before planning recurring billing changes.

Plan content and connections. Map pages, metadata and redirects; decide what stays on WordPress and who maintains it. Test fulfillment, refunds and connected systems.

Launch with a runbook. Rehearse checkout, analytics, open orders, returns and final stock updates. Define acceptance checks, recovery decisions, training and support.

AI-assisted, reviewed delivery. Accelerate mapping, transformation scripts and test preparation with reviewed outputs. Agree customer data and tool access, scope, fees and timing after assessing the plugin inventory and required workflows.

Experience at scale

At Digital Beverage Group, I led the move from Offset Figure to Shopify Plus and Linnworks, including 2 million historical orders representing $150 million in historical order value.

Shopify operates the core platform and hosting. Your team remains responsible for staff access, app permissions, credentials and connected systems. Keep urgent security remediation moving during migration.
