Official Shopify Partner | Naas, Kildare | Supporting businesses across Ireland
Brand Depot plans and delivers WooCommerce to Shopify migrations for Irish businesses. We assess your WordPress setup, catalogue and business workflows before agreeing what can transfer and what needs rebuilding.
Audit the WooCommerce setup first
WooCommerce stores often depend on plugins, custom fields and bespoke checkout or ordering behaviour. We inventory the functions your business uses and identify the Shopify equivalent or an alternative approach. The goal is to preserve necessary capabilities rather than reproduce every plugin without questioning its purpose.
Define the data migration
Products, variants, images, customer information and historical orders need an agreed transfer scope. We review available exports and migration tools, map the data and test representative records. Passwords, subscriptions and plugin-specific information require separate assessment rather than an assumption that everything will transfer unchanged.
Rebuild the content and customer journey
A WordPress theme is not simply copied into Shopify. We plan the destination templates, navigation and key pages around your brand and buying journey. Useful product information and editorial content are reviewed so the move does not discard material customers rely on.
Manage URLs and the final cutover
We map important old URLs to relevant destinations and test supported redirects. The launch plan covers final data updates, domain changes, order handling and staff responsibilities. Search performance can change during a move, so we reduce avoidable problems without promising unchanged rankings.
What the agreed project can include
- Plugin and functionality audit.
- Data mapping, sample imports and validation.
- Shopify design and integration planning.
- Redirect mapping, launch testing and training.
How this can work in practice
A store using separate plugins for product options, stock synchronisation and wholesale pricing needs a migration plan for all three. We agree the destination workflow and recurring costs before the new storefront is built.

Frequently asked questions
Can you migrate order history?
We assess the source data, tools and required records, then confirm the historical data included in the scope.
Can we keep our domain?
The domain can usually be connected to the new store. We review access and related email or DNS dependencies before the changeover.
Will every plugin feature be available?
Not necessarily. Each essential feature is assessed and any limitations or replacement costs are explained before development.
