W2S Sync – WooCommerce to Shopify Migration

W2S – WooCommerce to Shopify Migration is a complete, bi-directional synchronization tool designed for store owners who want to migrate their catalog, maintain two platforms in parallel, or switch from WooCommerce to Shopify (and vice-versa) with minimal effort. The plugin automates product sync, customer sync, order sync, and real-time updates, without relying on external services. It is perfect for merchants planning to

• convert WooCommerce to Shopify,
• switch from Shopify to WooCommerce,
• migrate orders from WooCommerce to Shopify,
• or simply keep both stores updated at all times.

W2S is built for speed, accuracy, and complete control. Use it once for a full store migration or keep it running continuously as a two-way integration layer between WooCommerce and Shopify.

When Should You Use WooCommerce ↔ Shopify Sync?

• Need a complete Shopify to WooCommerce migration
• Are testing a Shopify store before switching from WooCommerce
• Want to run Shopify as your main storefront but keep WooCommerce for content or custom functionality

• Need to sync only newly added products (such as “last 24 hours” updates)
• Want to maintain stock accuracy across two active stores
• Need a secure, automated way to keep orders, customers, and products

If you’re wondering things like “Should I move from WooCommerce to Shopify?” or “How do I transfer my Shopify store to WooCommerce?”, W2S makes testing, migrating, and switching simple.

How W2S Helps With Store Migration

W2S supports both one-time migrations and continuous sync, making it useful for all types of store transitions:

✔ Transfer Products Move titles, descriptions, pricing, variations, attributes, stock levels, categories, tags, barcodes, SKU, images, galleries, and more.

✔ Transfer Customers Transfer customer records, addresses, metadata, and purchase history.

✔ Transfer Orders Move orders with fees, shipping amounts, line items, taxes, and proper status mapping.

✔ Maintain Data Consistency During Migration You can run both stores side-by-side while you finalize your move. W2S keeps inventory, pricing, and customers aligned.

✔ Avoid Data Loss The audit log and fallback systems ensure issues are easy to identify and correct, preventing accidental overwrites or missing records.

Authentication – How to Connect Your Stores

To begin syncing, you need to securely connect your WooCommerce and Shopify stores by generating API credentials for both platforms:

• WooCommerce: Generate Consumer Key and Secret from your WordPress admin.
• Shopify: Create a private app to get your Admin API access token.

Follow the step-by-step guide here:    Authentication Setup Guide

Once connected, visual indicators (Green, Yellow, Red) show the status of your authentication.

Note: The credentials are stored locally in your WordPress database and are only used to authenticate API requests to your own stores. The plugin does not send any data to third-party services other than the connected WooCommerce and Shopify stores.

How It Works:

1. Authentication – Connect your stores using the WooCommerce Consumer Key/Secret and Shopify Access Token. Visual indicators (green/yellow/red) guide you through connection status.
2. Configure Sync Settings – Define direction (Woo → SH, SH → Woo, or both), choose sync frequency, and select data types (Products, Orders, Customers) with permission controls (Create, Update, Delete).
3. Run & Monitor – Use the Mapping Section to verify field alignments and the Audit Log to review sync history and troubleshoot.

Whether you’re migrating your store or maintaining live synchronization, this plugin ensures reliability, transparency, and minimal manual effort. For more details refer Woo to Shopify Documentation here.
