WooCommerce → MedusaJS migration
Stop babysitting plugins.
Own it on MedusaJS.
We migrate WooCommerce stores to MedusaJS + Next.js — products, customers, orders, and SEO carried over automatically, into a fast, secure, fully custom store you own outright. Fixed price, from $12,500.
Fixed price · full code ownership · 6–8 week builds
WordPress & WooCommerce
You didn't sign up to be a full-time sysadmin.
WooCommerce is a brilliant way to start — until keeping the store fast, safe, and online becomes a second job. Here's what that looks like in the numbers.
Vulnerability figure: Patchstack, State of WordPress Security in 2024.
Plugin fatigue
Thirty-plus plugins to do what a real store needs, each an update that might break checkout. "Don't touch it, it's working" becomes the strategy.
Performance that costs sales
PHP rebuilds every page, uncached carts, render-blocking themes. In a Google/Deloitte study of 37 retail, travel and luxury brands, a 0.1s load-time improvement lifted retail conversion 8.4%.
Security you have to babysit
The plugin surface is the attack surface — including supply-chain backdoors planted in popular plugins with hundreds of thousands of installs.
A maintenance treadmill
Hosting tuning, caching, database bloat from revisions and transients, updates that break the theme — firefighting instead of selling.
Cost creep
Premium plugin renewals, managed hosting, and a developer on call add up to a bill that grows while the experience doesn't.
Scaling walls
Traffic spikes — a feature, a sale, a viral moment — are exactly when shared hosting buckles and you lose the orders that mattered most.

The Medusa Experts way
One owned stack. Built for you, handed to you.
We pair modern headless commerce with a premium custom frontend, then hand you the keys. No lock-in, no per-sale tax, no rebuild waiting to happen.
Decoupled by design · both layers live in your repository · you own all of it
Headless by design
MedusaJS runs your commerce logic; a separate Next.js frontend renders it. Swap or evolve either side without touching the other.
You own everything
The code, the data, the deployment — all in your repository and your accounts. Every customization lives with you, not in a vendor's settings panel.
Automated migration
Our process lifts products, variants, customers, orders, and SEO across for you — the tedious part is scripted, so it's faster and cleaner.
A storefront worth the brand
A fast, fully custom Next.js storefront designed around your identity — not a theme everyone else is also using.
Cheaper to run over time
No monthly platform tax that scales with revenue, no stacked app subscriptions. You pay for hosting and what you choose to build.
Flexible without limits
Membership flows, curated "Look" sets, subscriptions, custom checkout — build the features your store needs, not the ones a platform allows.
Proof · Horizn Golf
We built this one end to end.
Horizn Golf is a premium coastal golf-apparel brand we designed and built on MedusaJS + Next.js — storefront, a custom outfit "Look System", membership flows, and Stripe checkout. A real store, and real proof of what the automated process ships.
We built Horizn Golf end to end — premium branding, a custom outfit-curation "Look System", membership flows, and full Stripe checkout — delivered efficiently because the repeatable parts are automated.
Visit horizngolf.com →What you get
A complete store — and the keys to it.
Fully configured Medusa backend
Products, regions, tax, shipping, and admin set up and production-ready.
Custom Next.js storefront
A premium, fast, mobile-first frontend designed around your brand.
Automated data migration
Products, variants, customers, orders, and SEO carried over from WooCommerce or Shopify.
The features you actually need
Look-style curated collections, membership flows, subscriptions, Stripe — built in.
Launch + 30 days of support
We go live with you and stay close for the first month to iron out the details.
Full code ownership
The entire codebase in your repository — yours to keep, extend, or hand to any developer.
Reconciliation & rollback
Nothing switches over until you've checked it and signed off.
Your current site stays live and untouched for the entire build. We migrate into a fresh Medusa store, reconcile it line by line against your original data, and only cut over once you've approved what you see.
Build in parallel
We build and migrate into a separate Medusa store while your current site keeps taking orders, completely untouched.
Reconcile the data
Product, customer, and order counts on the new store are checked against your original platform's counts, plus a full pass on redirects, before we call it done.
Your sign-off
You get a staging link and a written reconciliation summary comparing old vs. new. Nothing goes live until you say go.
Cutover, with a rollback path
We switch traffic over and watch it closely. If something's wrong, we can point back to the old store while we fix it — it isn't torn down on day one.
What we specifically check
Passwords
Never migrated in the clear. Customers get a one-time secure reset link on first login — standard practice, not a gap we introduce.
Subscriptions
Active subscriptions are mapped to Medusa's subscription flow and tested before cutover, so billing continues without a gap or a duplicate charge.
Tax logic
Your tax rules and nexus setup are rebuilt and tested against real order scenarios before go-live, not just copied over as static rates.
Payment methods
Stripe and other supported processors reconnect to your existing account, so payout history and dispute records carry over intact.
Plugin functionality
Every plugin is mapped to a native Medusa feature, a lightweight service, or flagged for rebuild — see the full migration matrix.
Redirects
Every URL on your old site gets a mapped redirect or is preserved as-is, checked against your sitemap before cutover.
Order history
Historical orders migrate into Medusa so support and reporting keep working on day one — no gap in your records.
Pricing
Fixed-price tiers that scale with your store.
Pick the scope that fits. Every tier is a fixed number agreed up front, with full code ownership at handover — no hourly meter, no surprises.

Who this isn't for
Sometimes the right answer is: stay where you are.
A custom owned stack is a real project with a real fixed price. If your store is small and simple and your platform bill is already low, the honest move is to keep selling on Shopify or WooCommerce — not pay us to rebuild something that isn't broken.
- A small, straightforward catalog with simple checkout — no heavy customization on the roadmap
- Platform + app costs are already a small, flat slice of revenue, not a growing one
- You're pre-product-market-fit and still validating — iteration speed matters more than ownership right now
- No one in-house (or on call) who can own a codebase over time
- Platform fees, transaction cuts, and app spend are a real and growing percentage of revenue
- You're hitting real ceilings — variant limits, plugin conflicts, checkout you can't customize
- You want design or feature freedom the platform's theme/app model won't allow
- You're ready to own a codebase, even if someone else built the first version
We'll tell you straight during the discovery call if we think you should stay put — a smaller invoice today beats an unhappy customer six months in.

The migration matrix
What actually happens to every part of your store.
Not everything moves the same way. Here's exactly what to expect, category by category — the same breakdown we walk through on your discovery call.
Swipe to see status & details →
| What | What happens | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Products, variants & images | Migrated automatically | Copied across with variants, pricing, and media intact. |
| Customer accounts | Migrated automatically | Profiles and addresses carry over as-is. |
| Passwords | Reconfigured | Password hashes generally aren't portable across platforms. Customers get a secure one-time reset link on first login — no exposure, no separate signup. |
| Order history | Migrated automatically | Full historical orders come across, so support and reporting keep working day one. |
| URLs & redirects | Migrated automatically | Old URLs are preserved or 301-redirected and checked against your sitemap before cutover. |
| Discounts & coupons | Reconfigured | Active codes and rules are rebuilt in Medusa's promotions engine. |
| Shipping rates & zones | Reconfigured | Your rate tables and zones are rebuilt and tested against real orders. |
| Tax logic | Reconfigured | Nexus and tax rules are rebuilt and tested against real scenarios, not just copied as static rates. |
| Payment methods | Reconfigured | Stripe and other supported processors reconnect to your existing account — same payout history, same dispute record. |
| Subscriptions | Rebuilt | Recurring billing is mapped to Medusa's subscription flow and tested before cutover so there's no gap or duplicate charge. |
| Content pages (blog, About, landing) | Rebuilt | Rebuilt as Next.js pages — copy carries over, layout gets a refresh. |
| Reviews & ratings | Requires discovery | Depends which app you're on — some export cleanly, others need a small custom migration. |
| Custom plugin / app functionality | Requires discovery | We map each one to a native Medusa feature, a lightweight service, or flag it for rebuild — see the free scan below. |
| Legacy workarounds & unused plugins | Retired | Plugins that patched a platform limitation Medusa doesn't have — usually safe to leave behind. |

Questions, answered
The things people ask before they start.
How long does a project take?
A standard build or migration runs 6–8 weeks from kickoff. With the acceleration fee we start within 2 weeks and compress the timeline — most accelerated projects launch noticeably sooner.
Will my data be safe during migration?
Yes. We migrate into a fresh Medusa store and keep your existing site live until you've signed off. Products, variants, customers, orders, and redirects are all carried across and checked before anything switches over.
What about my heavy custom plugins?
We map each one to a native Medusa feature, a lightweight service, or a small custom module — and we tell you up front which need rebuilding versus which you can happily retire. Owning the code means there's no plugin you're stuck waiting on.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. We handle the build and hand over a store you run from a friendly admin panel. When you want to extend it later, any Next.js or Node developer can pick up the code — you're never locked to us.
Can I keep my current design?
If you love it, we'll rebuild it faithfully on the new stack. Most brands use the move as a chance to level the design up — either way, it's entirely your call.
Isn't headless overkill or too expensive for my stage?
Done the traditional way, often yes — bespoke headless builds are famous for blowing budgets, and going headless too early is a real regret for smaller brands.
Our automated process is the whole difference: a fixed price and a matter of weeks, not an open-ended enterprise project. You get ownership and performance without the enterprise cost or timeline.
Will I lose my SEO or rankings?
No — protecting rankings is part of the job. We preserve URLs (or map clean redirects), carry over metadata and structured data, and ship a faster, more crawlable site. Search engines still need to re-crawl and re-index the migrated pages, so expect a period of ranking fluctuation before things settle — how long varies by site and search volume, and it's something we watch with you post-launch rather than promise a fixed number for. See Reconciliation & rollback for exactly how we check this before and after the switch.
How does pricing work, and what's the acceleration fee?
Pricing is tiered — Launch, Signature, and Scale — each a fixed price for a clear scope, with full code ownership at handover. We recommend a tier on your discovery call based on your catalog, features, and revenue.
The $1,500 Acceleration is an optional add-on to any tier: it moves you to the front of the queue so you start within 2 weeks instead of the usual 6–8. We only take on a limited number of accelerated builds at once — real availability, not a countdown gimmick — so we'll tell you exactly where things stand when you ask.
