    Hi there, these are some great questions about migrating from Shopify to WooCommerce on WordPress! I’ll start with this one:

    Please advise if WordPress.com is also fully customisable like WordPress.org?

    Yes! You would need our Business or eCommerce plan, as extra plugins and themes add complexity to our support and maintenance. Our service includes SSL hosting, direct WordPress support, maintenance, and security:
    https://wordpress.com/business

    Or you can use the free software from WordPress.org, and take care of hosting and maintenance and what not on your own or through other service providers.

    Please advise if wordpress.com provide or recommend someone to provide migration?

    Shopify migration to WooCommerce is not included in our services, but there are plugins that can help. And if you’ll reach out here I am sure they can refer you to someone.

    what options available to replace Shopify POS?

    WooCommerce has several payment gateway options, so you can choose one or more depending on your needs. I want to say WooPayments includes Apple Pay, Google Pay, and credit cards, for example. If you want to have someone recommend options specific to your needs, WooCommerce Sales can likely help: https://woocommerce.com/contact-us/ — use the option for questions about a theme or extension.

    And,

    Please advise if migration from platform to platform will have affect on SEO?

    If your page URLs are the same, it shouldn’t negatively affect your SEO. You may even have more options to improve it. The important thing is to not get rid of relevant content, and if you are changing your links, find ways to mitigate that. If you have someone migrate your site for you, I’d recommend asking them to take a look at your current structure and SEO and consider ways to preserve that.

    Does that help? We’re happy to answer whatever questions you have.
