WooCommerce Migration

Migrate your products, customizations, customers and more to WooCommerce without losing any data.

woocommerce-migration-magento-to-woocommerce

Using an App or a Plugin for WooCommerce migration is known to be a bad decision, and there are multiple reasons for concluding this, such as:​

1

If a person has customized their web store according to the needs of their business, those customizations are specific to a certain platform. When migrating the store to WooCommerce using an App or Plugin, those customizations do not migrate, and you are left with no option but to customize again.

2

When working on a certain platform, you get used to its outlook, features and extensions, but when migrating to another platform, such as WooCommerce, you need to understand that the extensions and features that the other platform was offering do not exist anymore.

3

As we discussed customizations, even themes are part of it. For example, if you have chosen a certain theme on a platform, and customized it according to your business needs, when migrating to WooCommerce, you need to choose another theme, because themes are platform-specific most of the time.

4

Apps and Plugins are not the right way to migrate because there is a high risk of loss of data, due to no quality assurance being implemented in this way.

5

There is also high level risk of security because of different aspects.

  • One security threat that exists is the fact that some Apps download along a hidden plugin which cannot be seen around, and may cause problems for the user.
  • Another security threat is that passwords are not migrated or transmitted, so they need to be typed out again, which leads to the hidden plugin catching the password and leaking it to its source.
  • This means that anyone can access your accounts from this point forward, making the system totally open and highly vulnerable.

Popular Questions About WooCommerce Migration:

Using a store migration app is not an ideal solution to our migration decisions, because it has a lot of disadvantages, for example: customized themes, designs and features cannot be migrated to the other platform through an app, there is high risk of loss of data, there is a major security threat where passwords can be leaked and the extensions of the new platform may not blend properly through an app.

If the data migration happens through an app or a plugin, it is under majore security threat and is not safe at all. This is because, during the migration, some data is lost through the app, and even passwords and important credentials can be easily leaked.

Though, if your use a proper migration company and its channel, then your job is very secure and completely hassle-free. Folio3, especially brings you a team of professional experts who can help you migrate your platforms without any loss of data and hundred percent securely.

Whereas, if migrated through a proper company like Folio3, then the migration process is also easier, plus tha company handles the transfer of all passwords and information, keeping them secure and making the transfer possible.

WooCommerce is one of the most widely used eCommerce platforms across the globe, with one third of the total web stores using this platform. The reasons to perform a Magento to WooCommerce migration are:

  • Ease of Use – WooCommerce is easier to use than Magento.
  • Affordability – WooCommerce is a completely free platform, whereas Magento has pricing plans and charges for using it.
  • Skill Requirement – WooCommerce is easier to use, thus, you do not need any prior skills, but it could be great if you have worked with WordPress before. For Magento, some prior knowledge and skills are required, or you will have to hire third party experts for the work.

Yes, it is possible to migrate blogs from any platform to WooCommerce, but it requires expert help and needs to be done professionally. Thus, for this purpose, the user needs to hire a team of experts that can migrate the blogs as they are into the WooCommerce platform, and migration through apps and plugins do not have this option at all.

Yes, even reviews, like blogs, can be migrated to the WooCommerce platform, as it is, but they also need professional skills and knowledge to attain success of migration. The work needs to be conducted through certified professionals, because an app or plugin cannot perform the proper migration that is required in this case.

Yes, the WooCommerce platform allows you to access, manage and migrate multiple stores into the system. It is a professional task, and can only be handled by certified experts of the WooCommerce platform, but it is very much possible.

Yes, multilingual stores can be migrated and are supported by the WooCommerce platform, though, the platform uses a certain plugin for this purpose (WPML plugin). The only issue with this plugin is that it needs to be purchased and installed into your platform before the start of the migration purpose, to ensure all data has been transferred, which can add another cost, but is a successful feature.

Yes, Magento to WooCommerce migration is a great decision, because almost one third of the world is already using WooCommerce, and there are a lot of advantages of using WooCommerce over Shopify, such as:

  • Affordability – WooCommerce is a free platform and does not charge to launch a web store through it, whereas Shopify has monthly pricing plans that one needs to subscribe to in order to gain the rights of use of the platform.
  • Payment Gateway Fees – Both platforms offer multiple payment gateways to pay through, but in some Shopify plans, the user may have to pay a transaction fees.
  • Ease of Use – Shopify is a fully hosted site, thus, it may take more time and effort to setup, whereas WooCommerce can easily be added as a plugin extension to any WordPress account and it will start working instantaneously.
  • Migration – WooCommerce migration is also easier as compared to migration into the Shopify platform, since less effort and skill is required, especially for people familiar to WordPress.

On a side note, even OpenCart to WooCommerce migration and Prestashop to WooCommerce migration have proved to be successful in the past, and people around the globe mostly prefer using the WooCommerce platform over many others.

If you want to open an online store quickly, Shopify combines extensive ecommerce tools with a simple setup procedure, but this comes at a cost, you don’t own the platform and must pay a commission on every sale.
The WooCommerce plugin, on the other hand, can turn any WordPress site into a robust ecommerce platform. WooCommerce claims to provide you ultimate control over your ecommerce store due to its vast community of plugins, extensions, and themes.

While WooCommerce is user-friendly and offers low-cost payments for your typical eCommerce needs, it also has excellent community support and you can very quickly get answers to all of your queries. Magento is excellent for big businesses, but it comes at a greater price. WooCommerce, on the other hand, is better for small businesses.
