Migrate from WooCommerce to Vendor.
When WooCommerce stops scaling — plugin sprawl, slow admin, fragile uptime — Vendor is the move that doesn't require rewriting your storefront.

[Placeholder] WooCommerce is great at the start — free, flexible, familiar to anyone with WordPress experience. But past a few million GMV the trade-offs compound: 30+ paid plugins each with their own update cadence, an admin that gets slow on large catalogs, hosting providers who push you to their managed tier, and a checkout architecture that resists deep customization. The migration is rarely about WordPress hate — it's about wanting a backbone built for the operation you've grown into.
- 30+ paid plugins with overlapping responsibilities
- Admin slowdown on catalogs above 20K SKUs
- Checkout customization blocked by WC's checkout block API
- Inventory drift between WooCommerce and WMS
- PCI compliance burden when accepting cards directly
- Outages from plugin conflicts after WordPress core updates
What changes after the migration.
The concrete improvements customers report in the first 90 days.
Native checkout you own
Customize the checkout pipeline — express options, custom steps, post-purchase — without forking the codebase or paying for a checkout-extension app.
Admin that scales
Catalog operations on 100K+ SKUs feel as fast as 1K SKUs. Bulk edits don't time out.
One inventory truth
Inventory lives in one ledger that storefront, POS, marketplaces, and WMS all read. No more reconciliation jobs.
Fewer paid integrations
Native subscriptions, returns, post-purchase, search, and analytics. The average WooCommerce-to-Vendor migration retires 12+ paid plugins.
Real uptime
99.99% platform SLA. No more late-night incidents from a plugin update gone sideways.
Migrate without rewriting storefront
If you have a custom theme you like, our adapter lets you point it at our API. Most customers keep their existing storefront for the first 6 months.

WooCommerce migration questions.
Will I lose my SEO during migration?
[Placeholder] No. We map every old URL to its new home, set 301 redirects, preserve canonical structures, and resubmit sitemaps. Median organic traffic recovery: 2 weeks. We commit to zero traffic loss in the cutover SLA.
Can we migrate without a new storefront build?
[Placeholder] Yes. If you have a custom WordPress theme you want to keep, our adapter swaps WooCommerce for Vendor's API. Most customers keep their theme for 6 months, then redesign on Vendor's storefront.
What about my customer logins and passwords?
[Placeholder] Customers' encrypted credentials migrate over. They log in with the same password — no reset email required. Their order history, addresses, and saved carts move with them.
What does a typical migration timeline look like?
[Placeholder] 6–10 weeks for a mid-market store. Weeks 1–2: schema mapping. Weeks 3–4: storefront / theme. Weeks 5–6: checkout + payments. Weeks 7–8: dry runs. Weeks 9–10: cutover.
What's the pricing difference?
[Placeholder] Vendor's monthly platform fee is higher than your WooCommerce hosting bill. But the average migration retires €1,500–€3,000/month of paid plugin subscriptions. Net is usually flat-to-better.
