Migrating from WooCommerce to Shopify
In the competitive world of e-commerce, choosing the right platform can make all the difference in unlocking success and maximising profitability as your business grows. With so many options available, Shopify has emerged as the standout choice for Australian online D2C and B2B retailers, offering a comprehensive suite of features and benefits that outshine its competitors.
As an agency specialising in e-commerce for over 13 years we have chosen to exclusively use Shopify for our clients online stores, why? Let's delve into a few of the main benefits.
This is why
1
Stronger Long-Term ROI: With lower maintenance costs, fewer technical issues, and a platform built to scale, Shopify delivers better long-term ROI than WooCommerce - especially when factoring in developer reliance and plugin management overhead.
2
Enterprise-Grade Security & Stability: Shopify’s fully hosted platform offers industry-leading security, speed, and uptime - removing the risks of WooCommerce’s plugin vulnerabilities and inconsistent hosting environments.
3
Faster Product Innovation: Shopify’s tightly integrated ecosystem and powerful app marketplace give brands the ability to test, launch, and scale new features quickly - without custom builds or long dev cycles. From bundling to subscriptions to AI-driven personalisation, innovation is easier, faster, and more accessible.
4
Increased Efficiency and Ease of Use: Shopify's intuitive admin, streamlined backend, and native feature set make it far easier to manage day-to-day ecommerce operations - especially for non-technical teams. Compared to WooCommerce, which often requires custom development or plugin management for even simple tasks, Shopify enables faster site updates, campaign execution, and product launches without developer bottlenecks.
Migrating Wholistic House
In the ever-evolving landscape of e-commerce, selecting the right platform is paramount to success. While WooCommerce may suit businesses with more resources and time to spend on modifying this platform, we feel Shopify's robust features, scalability, integrated ecosystem, and superior user experience position it as the preferred choice, especially when you want to focus on growing your business and not spending all your resources on your website.
With the potential for higher long-term ROI and streamlined management, migrating to Shopify is a strategic move for businesses looking to thrive in the digital marketplace.

Migrating Inbed
The purpose of this project was to refresh the current website by designing new sections and page templates to make the most of the Shopify 2.0 upgrades. The objective of the design updates and the migration were to give IN BED more flexibility with content, marketing management and to improve the experience for users on the website whilst reflecting the brand refresh for a more editorial look.
