I move stores from WooCommerce to Shopify and keep everything that matters: the catalog, the full order and customer history, discounts, content, and search rankings. These migrations are where WordPress depth and Shopify depth both pay off, and I have both. Years as a freelance WordPress developer, then years building on Shopify, including themes on the Shopify Theme Store trusted by 800+ stores. The hard part isn't exporting data, it's landing it in the right Shopify structure: orders that reconcile to the cent, refunds, guest customers, data buried in WooCommerce plugins, and redirects that protect your SEO. I build a custom import pipeline per store, validate it before go-live, and reconcile against the source when it's done, then set up payments, shipping, taxes, Markets, and languages so you launch a store that's actually ready. I can take the whole move to launch from payments, shipping and carrier setup, taxes, Shopify Markets and multiple languages, theme setup and customization, to the cutover itself and stick around afterward for the theme work, conversion improvements, and maintenance that follow. Happy to talk through your store and scope the move.

Over the last 10+ years, I’ve worked as a freelancer, spent four years at a creative agency leading design, development, and client delivery, and now run a 2-person team that feels more like a creative partner than a traditional agency. We work closely with merchants who want a Shopify site that actually reflects the brand they’ve built — and can support where they’re going next. I’m most interested in projects where design, dev, and strategy all overlap — where there’s a real problem to solve, not just a template to swap.
