Migrate From xt:Commerce to WooCommerce
We transfer products, variants, categories, customers, orders, images, and SEO-relevant URLs into a modern WooCommerce shop.
hechenbros handles your complete xt:Commerce to WooCommerce migration. We transfer products, variants, categories, customers, orders, images, and SEO-relevant URLs into a modern WooCommerce shop — first built and thoroughly tested in a protected test environment, so your existing shop stays reachable during preparation.
What you get
A complete data transfer
Products, variants, categories, customers, orders, and media get transferred to WooCommerce in a structured way.
A safe SEO move
Existing URLs get recorded and redirected to the new shop pages with proper 301 redirects.
A controlled shop switch
The migration first happens in a test environment — the new shop only goes live after review and approval.
Why a shop migration is more than a data import
An established xt:Commerce shop consists of many interconnected pieces of data and functionality. If these connections aren't accounted for during the move, important information or mappings can get lost.
Complex product variants
Attributes, variants, prices, and stock levels get stored differently in xt:Commerce and WooCommerce.
Incomplete customer data
Customer accounts, billing addresses, shipping addresses, and order histories need to stay correctly linked together.
Lost orders
Faulty mappings can cause order line items, prices, or customer references to go missing in the new shop.
Missing product images
Images often live in different directories and need to be assigned to the right products or variants.
Incompatible extensions
Payment methods, shipping modules, and custom xt:Commerce extensions can't be used directly in WooCommerce.
Ranking losses from new URLs
If old product and category URLs don't get redirected, error pages appear and valuable SEO signals can get lost.
We review your existing shop and show you how the safe switch to WooCommerce can be carried out.

Why switching to WooCommerce is worth it
WooCommerce combines flexible shop functionality with the simple content management of WordPress.
One system for shop and website
WooCommerce is fully integrated into WordPress — products, content, landing pages, and marketing campaigns can be managed on one shared platform.
Flexible extensibility
Payment methods, shipping solutions, integrations, and custom functionality can be added with suitable WooCommerce extensions.
More control over your shop
You get more freedom over design, hosting, features, and the long-term development of your online shop.
Easier content management
Products, categories, images, and pages can be managed clearly in WordPress and WooCommerce.
A modern technical foundation
A current theme and carefully chosen extensions create an update-friendly, long-term maintainable shop base.
No licence fees for WooCommerce
WooCommerce itself is open source and usable without ongoing licence fees — costs can still arise for hosting, maintenance, and premium extensions.
We check whether WooCommerce fits your requirements and which steps the switch requires.
What we carry over for your shop
The exact scope depends on your xt:Commerce installation, the amount of data, and your shop's custom functionality.
Products and variants
We transfer product names, descriptions, SKUs, prices, special prices, stock levels, weights, attributes, and variants.
Categories and manufacturers
Existing product categories, subcategories, and manufacturer information get mapped to WooCommerce in a structured way.
Customer accounts
We migrate the agreed customer data, such as names, email addresses, billing addresses, and shipping addresses.
Orders
Order numbers, line items, prices, tax, shipping costs, payment methods, and status information get transferred.
Images and media
Product images, galleries, and other media get carried over and assigned to the right products.
Coupons and reviews
Depending on the existing data structure, coupons, reviews, and other shop data can be migrated too.
SEO and redirects
We map old and new URLs to each other and set up permanent 301 redirects for important product and category pages.
Design and theme
On request, we implement a modern WooCommerce design or match the look of your existing shop.
Payments and shipping
We set up suitable WooCommerce solutions for payment methods, shipping zones, and shipping costs.
Tax and emails
Tax classes, order emails, and important shop notifications get configured to fit the agreed requirements.
Plugins and features
Required xt:Commerce extensions get replaced with suitable WooCommerce plugins or custom solutions.
Integrations
Connections to inventory management, ERP, accounting, newsletters, shipping providers, or marketplaces get reviewed and rebuilt.

Frequently asked
What does an xt:Commerce to WooCommerce migration cost?
The cost depends on the amount of data and technical complexity. Relevant factors include the number of products and variants, order history, custom data fields, extensions, integrations, and design requirements. After analysing your existing shop, you get a tailored quote.
How long does the migration take?
A small standard shop can be migrated faster than a shop with several thousand variants, custom pricing rules, and external integrations. After the assessment, we can estimate the effort and a realistic timeframe.
Does my xt:Commerce shop stay online during the migration?
Yes, the new WooCommerce shop first gets built in a separate test environment. Your existing shop stays reachable during most of the work. A short maintenance window can make sense for the final data reconciliation and switchover.
Do all products and variants get carried over?
Before the project starts, we define which products, variants, attributes, and extra fields get transferred. Standard data can usually be mapped well. Custom extensions or inconsistent legacy data may require a tailored transfer.
Can customers and orders be migrated?
Yes. Customer data, billing and shipping addresses, and historical orders can be transferred, provided the source data is fully available. After the migration, we check that customers, order line items, amounts, and status information are correctly mapped.
Can customers keep their existing passwords?
That depends on the password format used. If a secure, compatible transfer isn't possible, customers get a way to set a new password.
Can the existing design be kept?
A visually similar implementation is possible. The existing xt:Commerce template, however, can't be used directly in WooCommerce. We rebuild the design using a current WooCommerce theme or a custom solution.
What happens to payment and shipping modules?
xt:Commerce modules aren't directly compatible with WooCommerce. We select suitable WooCommerce extensions, set up payment methods and shipping rules from scratch, and test the core flows before go-live.
Do existing URLs get redirected?
Yes. Important product, category, and content pages get recorded and redirected to the matching new URLs with permanent 301 redirects.
Will my shop lose its Google rankings?
A shop migration can cause temporary fluctuations. Correct redirects, carried-over metadata, and technical checks reduce avoidable ranking losses. Unchanged rankings can't be guaranteed.
Do you also migrate inventory management integrations?
Yes. We review existing integrations and clarify whether a suitable WooCommerce connection is available or a custom solution is needed.
What happens to the old shop after go-live?
The existing installation should initially be kept as a secured, non-publicly-indexable copy. After a successful follow-up review, it can be decommissioned according to the agreed archiving and data protection plan.
