WordPress to Shopify Migration in Norwich

Moving Norwich retailers from WooCommerce to Shopify, where customer passwords do not travel. Stored credentials cannot be transferred between platforms, so every returning customer meets a login that no longer works — and how that moment is handled affects repeat revenue more than anything else in the migration.

Why this comes up

The problem

Customers were moved across without warning, their passwords no longer work, and support is fielding the complaints.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Customer accounts migrated with a communicated, deliberate reset process
  • Order history transferred so service teams can still answer questions about it
  • Products migrated with variants, images and inventory intact
  • URL structures mapped, since product and category paths differ between platforms
  • Redirects implemented for every changed URL before the switch
  • Payment, shipping and tax configuration rebuilt and tested against real orders

WordPress to Shopify Migration in Norwich — common questions

Why can passwords not be migrated?
Because they are stored as hashes the new platform cannot use. This is a security property rather than a limitation, but the practical effect is that returning customers must set a new password — so it needs communicating in advance rather than discovered at checkout.
Does order history come across?
It can be imported, and it is worth doing. Without it, your support team cannot see what a customer bought last year, returns become difficult to process and any loyalty calculation based on spend starts again from zero.
How different are the URLs?
Different enough to matter. Shopify's product and collection paths follow its own structure, so almost every product URL changes — and without redirects, the accumulated search value of those pages is lost at the moment of the switch.
What is most often forgotten?
Tax and shipping configuration. It is unglamorous, it does not appear in any content export, and it is usually rebuilt hurriedly at the end — which is why the first live orders after a migration so often carry the wrong shipping cost or the wrong VAT treatment.
Do you work with businesses across Norfolk?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Norwich and the surrounding Norfolk area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Norwich businesses do you usually work with?
Agri-food clients frequently need systems that work offline and sync later, alongside more conventional insurance and professional services work. Beyond that we work across Insurance & Financial Services, Agriculture & Food, Digital & Creative and Tourism.
Do you cover the areas around Norwich?
Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Cambridge, London. Norwich is an urban area of roughly 200,000+, and we take on work across the wider Norfolk region rather than the city boundary alone.
