Why Australia businesses leave Shopify

Shopify's monthly fees, transaction cuts, and app dependencies eat into margins. You don't truly own your customer data or checkout experience. For organisations in Australia, this often collides with Australian Privacy Act and OAIC principles and the need for English (AU) content that internal teams can update without developers.

We migrate products, categories, customers, orders, shipping rules, and payment gateways to WooCommerce with zero downtime strategy. We plan redirects before launch, preserve rankings, and align with Australian SMEs leaving Wix or Shopify expect .com.au SEO preservation, AUD pricing, and APAC-friendly hosting options.

Local compliance & payments

Every Australia project includes cookie/consent review, privacy page alignment with Australian Privacy Act and OAIC principles, and checkout/payment planning: Stripe, PayPal, and Afterpay integrations on WooCommerce.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before starting your migration.

Do you work with clients in Australia remotely?

Yes. We are a European remote-first agency. Kick-off, audits, and training are delivered in English with documentation tailored to your Australia legal and language requirements.

Will my Australia SEO rankings be protected?

We map every indexable URL, implement 301 redirects, migrate metadata, and validate in Google Search Console. Rankings are never guaranteed, but our process is built to minimise migration risk.

Can you handle English (AU) content during the Shopify migration?

We migrate existing language versions and configure WordPress for your locale structure. Additional translation copywriting can be quoted separately if needed.

What hosting do you recommend for Australia visitors?

We typically deploy on EU-based managed WordPress hosting (Infomaniak, Kinsta, or Cloudways EU) for low latency across Australia and neighbouring markets.
