How to Migrate from Magento to WooCommerce
Move your Magento data to WooCommerce in three steps, using either a direct store connection or exported Magento files. Run the migration yourself with LitExtension, or choose All-in-One Migration for expert-managed setup, mapping, and testing.
#1: Set Up Your Magento Source and WooCommerce Target
Select Magento as your source and follow the store connection instructions. If you are migrating from Magento exports, select Files and upload your data instead. Connect WooCommerce as the target store in either case.
#2: Select Your Data and Review the Mapping
Choose the supported products, customers, orders, and other records you need, then configure the available migration options and mappings. For Magento exports, review the file-column mapping and resolve Data Check errors before continuing.
#3: Test Your Data, Then Run Full Migration
Run a Free Demo and check representative Magento products, variations, images, and any selected customer or order records in WooCommerce. Once the results meet your requirements, start Full Migration. The transfer continues even after you close your browser.
Choose the Right Approach for Your Magento Store
Your migration method depends on whether you can connect Magento, what your exports contain, and how much of the process you want to manage yourself. Compare the options below before preparing your WooCommerce store.
| Method | Best For | What to Know |
|---|---|---|
| LitExtension Direct Store Migration | You can access Magento and deploy the required Connector. | Connect Magento and WooCommerce, then select your supported records and migration options. Test important product types and data relationships in a Free Demo before Full Migration. |
| LitExtension Files Migration | You already have Magento exports or prefer to supply your source data as files. | Upload your exports, review field mapping, and run Data Check. Coverage depends on the values and relationships in your files; WooCommerce still needs to be connected. |
| LitExtension All-in-One Service | You need help with file preparation, complex Magento products, custom mapping, or results testing. | Experts assess your connected store or supplied files and agree on the migration scope, required plugins, testing, and quotation. Storefront development and replacement integrations should be scoped separately. |
| WooCommerce Built-In Product CSV Importer | You only need a product catalog and can prepare Magento data in WooCommerce’s product CSV format. | Convert the export to the required structure and check variations, attributes, and images. Customer accounts, historical orders, and other records require separate tools or services. |
Migrate Directly from Magento to WooCommerce with LitExtension
This approach connects your Magento source store and WooCommerce target store through the LitExtension Connector. The steps below apply to supported Magento 1 and Magento 2 migrations; custom modules and restricted hosting environments may need additional preparation.
Pre-Migration: Sign Up and Get Started
Create a LitExtension account or sign in to your existing account. You can also continue with Google.
Step 1. Connect Your Magento and WooCommerce Stores
Go to Migration and select Create New Migration. Choose Magento as the Source Cart and enter your Magento store URL.
Download the LitExtension Connector from the setup screen, extract the package, and upload the le_connector folder to your Magento root directory. Wait for the connection confirmation before continuing. Magento Cloud and other restricted environments may require a different deployment method; contact LitExtension if direct upload is unavailable.
Next, select WooCommerce as the Target Cart and enter its store URL. Upload the le_connector folder to the WordPress root directory, where wp-admin, wp-content, and wp-includes are located. Confirm that both stores are connected before proceeding.
Step 2. Select the Data to Migrate
Choose the supported Magento records you want to transfer, such as products, categories, customers, orders, reviews, coupons, and CMS pages. Use Select All or select individual data types to match your requirements.
To migrate products from Magento to WooCommerce without customers or orders, select Products and the related entities you need. Include the categories, images, attributes, variations, and supported product relationships required to keep your catalog usable.
Review the available mappings and Additional Options. If WooCommerce already contains records you need to keep, leave Clear Existing Data unselected and ask LitExtension to assess potential conflicts. Confirm the mapping and quotation for custom attributes, extension-generated data, and non-standard product structures before proceeding.
Step 3. Run a Free Demo, Then Full Migration
Start a Free Demo to transfer a limited sample of supported Magento data. Review the imported records in WooCommerce, paying particular attention to configurable products, variation SKUs, prices, stock, images, and any selected customer or order data. Resolve mapping issues before moving the full dataset.
Once the results meet your requirements, return to your LitExtension account and start Full Migration. The transfer runs in the background, so you can close your browser. LitExtension will notify you by email when it finishes.
Migrate Magento Exports to WooCommerce
If you already have Magento exports, select Files as the source and connect WooCommerce as the target. First, check that the files contain the records you intend to move. A product export alone does not include customer accounts, historical orders, or every record created by Magento extensions.
Prepare the Magento Data Relationships
Magento exports may need preparation before they can represent the same catalog and business records in WooCommerce. Review the following information before configuring your file mappings:
- Products and variations: Retain SKUs, configurable-to-child product references, and the attributes that distinguish each variation. Check that prices, stock, and images belong to the correct parent or child records.
- Customers and orders: Include the identifiers and references needed to associate orders with customers and products. Review guest orders and historical order items whose original products no longer exist.
- Store views and custom attributes: Identify language-specific values and explain custom attribute codes. Confirm their WooCommerce destinations and any required plugins; exporting the values does not automatically recreate Magento’s store structure or business rules.
- Images and URLs: Keep image links accessible and include source URLs for any agreed redirect mapping. Provide the old store address when relative image paths need to be resolved.
Review Mapping and Test the Result
Upload your exports, review how the file columns map to the supported WooCommerce fields, and run Data Check. Correct errors and review warnings before running the Demo.
In WooCommerce, check configurable products as complete parent-and-variation groups, then inspect selected customer and order relationships. Confirm that images, prices, stock, order statuses, and totals match the intended source values before Full Migration.
Keep the supplied files unchanged while the transfer runs. If Magento continues receiving orders or product updates, prepare revised exports and agree on how new and changed records will be handled before launch. Files do not provide continuous synchronization with your Magento store.
For upload options and the detailed file-preparation workflow, see our CSV Files to WooCommerce migration guide. Contact LitExtension for an assessment of exports containing custom product structures or extension-generated data.
Post-Migration Services and Support
Automated Migration includes 60 days of technical support after Full Migration is completed. If Magento continues receiving orders or product changes, choose the appropriate post-migration service to prepare your WooCommerce data for launch:
- Recent Data Migration: Transfer supported products, customers, and orders added since the initial migration. Free use is subject to the applicable service period and a new-data allowance of up to 5% of your initial migration package.
- Smart Update: Update supported fields of products already migrated to WooCommerce. Confirm which product changes your migration can update before running the service.
- Re-migration: Repeat the migration for the same project when a fresh transfer is needed. Automated Migration includes free, unlimited re-migrations within the applicable service period.
For migrations from Magento exports, confirm which service can process your updated files and which identifiers are required to match existing records. Agree on this update process before changing migrated data manually or switching your live storefront.

Magento to WooCommerce Post-Migration Checklist
Before launching WooCommerce, check the migrated data against your agreed scope and test the functions your customers will use.
- Reconcile your data: Compare record counts and investigate unexpected differences. For Files Migration, use the records eligible after Data Check as your baseline and account for intentionally excluded or skipped records. Check relationships as well as totals.
- Review your catalog: Test representative configurable, grouped, downloadable, and other supported product types. Check attributes, variations, prices, stock, images, category assignments, and agreed custom mappings in both the admin and storefront.
- Check customer accounts and orders: Test login using the agreed password-migration or reset method. Review addresses, order history, customer associations, statuses, line items, discounts, taxes, and totals.
- Validate SEO continuity: Test important Magento URLs against their WooCommerce destinations. Check redirects, metadata, canonical tags, internal links, and the sitemap, including custom URLs requiring separate handling.
- Test store functionality: Place test orders and check payment, shipping, tax, coupon, and email behavior. Your website team should validate replacement plugins and integrations separately from the data transfer.
- Complete the final data update: Transfer eligible new records and supported changes using the agreed process. Recheck affected orders, products, and inventory after the update.
- Confirm launch readiness: Approve the migrated data before your website team completes the domain switch. Retain Magento access and backups until the new store has been reviewed.
Contact LitExtension about missing, duplicated, or incorrectly mapped records before making extensive manual changes to the migrated data.

(*) Supported fields depend on your Magento setup, source method, and WooCommerce configuration. File-based migrations also depend on the data available in your exports. Review mapping requirements →
Magento to WooCommerce Mapping Requirements
Some Magento data needs a different structure or additional plugins on WooCommerce. Review the following mapping requirements when preparing your target store.
| Magento Data | WooCommerce Destination | Mapping Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Configurable products and associated simple products | Variable products and their variations | Check parent-child relationships and variation-level SKUs, attributes, prices, stock, and images. Magento exports must identify which child records belong to each parent. |
| Product attributes and attribute sets | Product attributes and variation attributes, where applicable | Separate descriptive attributes from attributes used to select variations. Attribute sets do not automatically recreate Magento’s editing structure, filters, or storefront presentation. |
| Custom product options | Supported variations or product add-ons, depending on the agreed mapping | Confirm whether each choice needs its own SKU, stock, or image. Retaining selectable add-ons may require the paid WooCommerce Product Add-Ons extension; add-ons do not provide separate variation-level inventory. |
| Grouped products and associated products | Grouped products with linked products | Review associated product references and test the resulting group. File exports must include the references needed to link the products. |
| Downloadable products and download information | Products with downloadable settings and files | Check file access, download limits, and expiry settings where supported. Keep the required download files accessible during migration. |
| Price and special price | Regular price and sale price | Check parent and variation prices separately. Customer-group pricing, tier prices, and catalog price rules require additional assessment. |
| Customer groups and group-based rules | WordPress user roles or another agreed segmentation setup | Standard migration does not automatically recreate or assign Magento customer groups. Group pricing, discounts, and purchasing permissions need separate configuration or custom handling. |
| Customer passwords | Compatible customer login on WooCommerce | Existing passwords can be retained for supported Magento password formats and configurations. The free LitExtension Customer Password Migration plugin may be required. File-based migration also requires the necessary password data; otherwise, prepare a password-reset process. |
| Order identifiers and order statuses | WooCommerce order references and mapped statuses | Distinguish Magento database IDs from customer-facing order numbers. Preserving original order numbers requires a supported setup; check conflicts with existing WooCommerce orders and review status mapping. |
| Product and category meta titles and descriptions | Fields provided by a compatible WooCommerce SEO plugin | Install the required plugin before migration and confirm compatibility. Metadata stored in custom Magento fields may need additional mapping. |
| Store views and translated content | Language-specific content in a supported multilingual setup | For WPML-based migration, prepare the required modules and destination languages first. Store-view differences involving prices, currencies, or separate storefronts require additional review. |
These mappings explain the destination structures to review; they do not mean every Magento setting or business rule transfers automatically. Confirm the supported fields, required plugins, and any custom handling in your Demo or agreed project scope.
Using Magento exports? Include the identifiers and references needed to connect related records. Missing values or relationships cannot be recovered from the files alone. See our CSV Files to WooCommerce migration guide for file preparation details.
Additional Options
Choose the Additional Options you need during migration setup. Included options vary by plan; custom requirements may need a separate quote.
Direct supported Magento URLs to their corresponding WooCommerce pages to reduce broken links and preserve SEO signals. Review custom URLs with LitExtension before migration and test important redirects before launch.
Keep your original Magento order numbers on migrated WooCommerce orders using a supported order-number plugin. Install the plugin before migration and review existing order numbers on the target store to identify potential conflicts.
Remove unwanted HTML tags from product and category names during the data transfer.
Remove existing WooCommerce data associated with the selected entities before importing data from Magento. Use this option only when the target data is no longer needed.
Transfer supported images embedded in product, category, and blog descriptions instead of leaving them connected to the Magento store.

What to Prepare Before Migrating from Magento to WooCommerce
Before starting your Magento to WooCommerce migration, prepare both stores and identify the data and functionality your business needs to retain. This helps separate the standard data transfer from requirements that need additional configuration, replacement plugins, or custom migration work.
1. Prepare Your Magento Source Store
- Back up your store. Create a current backup of the Magento database and store files, including product media. Keep the backup available throughout migration and launch preparation.
- Confirm access. Make sure you can access the Magento admin and the hosting environment needed to deploy the LitExtension Connector. If your store runs on Magento Cloud or another restricted environment, confirm the appropriate deployment method before starting.
- Document your setup. Record whether your store uses Magento 1, Magento 2, Magento Open Source, or Adobe Commerce. Include store views, languages, product types, custom attributes, active extensions, and connected systems such as ERP, CRM, or inventory management.
- Define what to keep. Identify the products, customers, orders, and other records you want to transfer. Review test records, duplicate entries, and outdated content before deciding what to exclude; avoid deleting source data simply to prepare for migration.
2. Prepare Your WooCommerce Target Store
- Set up the destination. Install WordPress and WooCommerce on an accessible staging or target website. Confirm that the required store connection can be established before scheduling the migration.
- Prepare mapping requirements. Configure destination languages and install the compatible plugins required for your agreed migration scope. Depending on your setup, these may support multilingual content, SEO metadata, product add-ons, customer passwords, or preserved order numbers.
- Plan replacement functionality. Magento themes, extensions, checkout customizations, and integrations are not copied as part of a standard data migration. List the functions your store relies on and assign the WooCommerce configuration or development work needed to reproduce them.
- Protect existing data. Back up any WooCommerce records you need to retain and tell LitExtension that the target already contains data. Review potential conflicts involving SKUs, customer accounts, and order numbers before using the Clear Existing Data option.
3. Define the Migration and Launch Plan
- Confirm the scope. Agree on the entities, fields, relationships, and Additional Options required for your migration. Request a separate assessment for bundle products, complex pricing rules, custom fields, or extension-generated records instead of assuming they follow the standard transfer.
- Prepare test examples. Identify representative products and records for the Demo review. Include different product types, variations, images, customer accounts, and historical orders so the test reflects your actual store requirements.
- Collect important URLs. Prepare Magento product, category, CMS, and other valuable content URLs. Identify custom or extension-generated URLs and agree on their WooCommerce destinations and redirect handling.
- Plan the final update. If Magento continues receiving orders or product changes, agree on how eligible new data and supported updates will reach WooCommerce before launch. Coordinate this with the team preparing the new storefront.
- Assign responsibilities. Confirm who will approve migrated data, test checkout and integrations, handle redirects, and complete the domain switch. Keep the data-migration work and website-launch tasks coordinated within the agreed project scope.
Share your store details and special requirements with LitExtension before the Full Migration. An early assessment helps confirm the mapping, required plugins, customization costs, and responsibilities before the transfer begins.

Magento to WooCommerce Migration FAQs
Have a question about your Magento setup? Contact our migration experts for help with your scope and mapping requirements.
Yes. LitExtension supports Magento 1 to WooCommerce migration and Magento 2 to WooCommerce migration, including many earlier releases. Share your Magento version, edition, and custom modules so we can confirm compatibility and any additional requirements before the transfer.
Supported data includes products, categories, customers, orders, reviews, coupons, CMS pages, blog content, images, and related fields. Availability depends on your Magento setup, source method, and WooCommerce configuration. Review the supported-data table and confirm custom or extension-generated records separately. File-based migration also depends on what your exports contain.
Yes. You can select products without transferring customers or orders. Include the related categories, images, attributes, variations, and supported product relationships needed for your catalog. Run a Free Demo to check the resulting structure before the full product migration.
Yes. Select Files as the source, upload your Magento exports, and connect WooCommerce as the target. Review field mapping and Data Check before running a Demo. Configurable products need parent-child references, while customer and order files need the identifiers required to link related records. See our CSV Files to WooCommerce migration guide for the detailed file workflow.
Supported configurable products map to WooCommerce variable products, with associated child products represented as variations. Check variation attributes, SKUs, prices, stock, and images during the Demo. Bundle products, custom options, and extension-generated product types need a separate mapping review; they should not be assumed to follow the same conversion.
Customers can retain existing passwords when the Magento password format and authentication setup are supported. The free LitExtension Customer Password Migration plugin may be required on WooCommerce. For file-based migration, the necessary password data must also be available; names and email addresses alone are insufficient. Test login compatibility and prepare a password-reset process if direct migration is unavailable.
Yes, but back up the target store and confirm which records must remain before migration. Review potential SKU, customer-account, and order-number conflicts. Leave Clear Existing Data unselected if you need to keep existing records, and agree on any merging or custom matching requirements before the transfer.
Magento themes and extensions cannot run directly on WooCommerce. Recreate the storefront using a WooCommerce-compatible theme and replace Magento functionality with suitable plugins, integrations, or development work. Transferring supported extension data does not recreate the extension itself. Confirm whether any setup or development work is included in your project scope.
A platform migration can affect organic visibility when URLs, content, internal links, or templates change. Transferring supported metadata and creating accurate 301 redirects helps preserve SEO signals, but unchanged rankings cannot be guaranteed. Test important old URLs and review canonical tags, indexability, internal links, and the sitemap before and after launch.
Automated Migration is free for up to 300 total entities. This is separate from the Free Demo, which transfers a limited sample for testing. For larger datasets, use the Pricing Estimator to check the applicable cost. All-in-One Migration, file preparation, and custom requirements are quoted according to your project scope.
Transfer time depends on record counts, image volume, server performance, and data complexity. File preparation, custom mapping, and validation may add time. The full project also includes storefront preparation, integrations, testing, and launch. Request an estimate based on your Magento setup rather than assuming one fixed completion time.
Yes. Your Magento store remains operational during the data transfer, so customers can continue browsing and placing orders. With Files Migration, the transfer uses the supplied exports rather than reading subsequent changes from Magento. Plan the final data update before directing customers to WooCommerce; domain switching and other launch tasks should be coordinated separately.
Supported multilingual content can be transferred when the compatible WooCommerce language setup and destination languages are prepared. For WPML-based migration, configure the required modules before transferring data. Magento websites, stores, and store views do not map directly to languages alone; assess differences in catalogs, currencies, and store-specific settings separately.
Use Recent Data Migration for supported new records and Smart Update for supported changes to products already migrated. Confirm the applicable service period and allowances with LitExtension. For file-based projects, supply revised Magento exports and agree on the identifiers and update process before running another transfer. These services do not create continuous synchronization.
