Description
StoreShift Lite connects directly to your Shopify store via the API and imports your products and categories into WooCommerce — no CSV exports, no file uploads, no manual work.
What’s included in Lite (free):
- Products importer — simple and variable products, variants, images imported to your media library, tags
- Categories importer — Shopify custom and smart collections mapped to WooCommerce product categories with thumbnails
- Shopify OAuth connection — click Connect Shopify, authorize in a popup, and you’re done — no tokens to copy
- Cursor-paginated imports — handles large catalogs safely without timeouts
Upgrade to StoreShift (paid) to also import:
- Coupons — Shopify price rules mapped to WooCommerce coupons (%, fixed, free shipping)
- Redirects — 301 URL redirects so your SEO is preserved after migration
- Orders — full order history with line items, addresses, and status mapping
- Customers — WP user accounts with WooCommerce billing and shipping meta
How it works:
- Click Connect Shopify in the Settings tab and authorize via the popup
- Click Import Products or Import Categories — StoreShift does the rest
No CSV exports, no manual token copying. Your store stays live throughout the migration.

FAQ
-
Does this affect my live Shopify store?
-
No. StoreShift Lite only reads data from Shopify — it never writes, modifies, or deletes anything in your Shopify store. Your store stays fully operational throughout the migration.
-
How many products can I import?
-
Unlimited. StoreShift Lite uses cursor-based pagination to handle catalogs of any size without timeouts.
-
Are product images imported?
-
Yes. Product images are downloaded from Shopify and added to your WordPress media library, then attached to the imported WooCommerce products.
-
What about variable products?
-
Yes, variable products and their variants are fully supported in the free version.
-
Can I re-run an import?
-
Yes. Re-running an import will update existing products (matched by SKU) rather than creating duplicates.
-
What do I need from Shopify?
-
Just your Shopify store login. Click Connect Shopify in the Settings tab — a popup opens, you log in to Shopify and click Authorize, and StoreShift handles the rest. No tokens or custom apps required.
-
Can I import orders and customers too?
-
Orders and customers require the paid version of StoreShift. See pricing
-
Does this work with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?
-
Yes, StoreShift Lite is compatible with WooCommerce HPOS.
