Moving a bed shop from Shopify to WordPress
Moving platforms is a big step, so it helps to know what moves, what needs rebuilding and what to protect.
Why some bed makers move
- Monthly plan and app costs can add up as you add features like product options
- More control over product options, lead times and trade pricing
- Owning the website, content and customer data on your own hosting
Shopify is a good platform for many shops. Moving is not right for everyone, so we are happy to talk through whether it makes sense for yours.
What can move
- Products with their descriptions, photos, prices and variants
- Customers and their details, where you have permission to keep them
- Order history, for your records
- Pages and blog posts
What needs rebuilding
- The design and theme
- Shopify apps, which need a WordPress equivalent or a small custom feature
- Checkout and payment setup, with your own payment account
- Shipping rules and tax settings
Protect your Google rankings
Every old page address should redirect to its new equivalent, so you keep the traffic and search positions you have built up. We set up and test these redirects before the switch.
Email and domain
Check where your domain and email are managed before you move, so nothing stops working. We plan the DNS changes so your site and email keep running.
Our website migration starts from £150 for a simple site. Shops with products and options are quoted, with a fixed price confirmed in writing first.
