How columns are converted

The converter follows WooCommerce's official product CSV schema. Column names below are exactly as they appear in each platform's file.

  • Name → Title, URL handle

    The URL handle is created from the product name, for example “Classic Hoodie” becomes classic-hoodie.

  • Description → Description

    Copied as is, including HTML.

  • Categories → Type

    The last level of the first category, for example “Clothing > Hoodies” becomes Hoodies.

  • Tags → Tags

    Copied as is.

  • Published → Status, Published on online store

    1 becomes active and published; 0 (private) and -1 (draft) become draft and unpublished.

  • SKU → SKU

    Variation SKUs become variant SKUs. The parent product's own SKU isn't used.

  • GTIN, UPC, EAN, or ISBN → Variant Barcodes

    Copied to the variant barcode.

  • Sale price, Regular price → Price, Compare-at price

    With a sale price, Price is the sale price and Compare-at price is the regular price. Without one, Price is the regular price.

  • Stock → Inventory quantity, Inventory tracker

    When stock is managed, Shopify tracks inventory with the same quantity.

  • Backorders allowed? → Continue selling when out of stock

    1 or notify allows selling when out of stock; 0 stops selling.

  • Tax status → Charge tax

    taxable becomes TRUE; shipping and none become FALSE.

  • Weight (unit) → Weight value (grams)

    Converted to grams using the unit in the column name, such as kg or lbs.

  • Attribute 1–3 name / value(s) → Option1–3 name / value

    Variation attributes become Shopify options. Attributes on simple products aren't used as options.

  • Images → Product image URL, Image position, Variant image URL

    Images are listed in order without duplicates. A variation's own image becomes its variant image.

  • Type, Parent → —

    Used to group variations under their parent product. Not copied to Shopify.

What isn’t converted

  • Grouped and external products are converted as single products. Shopify has no equivalent product types.
  • Short descriptions, purchase notes, upsells, cross-sells, downloads, reviews and custom meta columns aren't converted.
  • Categories become the product type. Set Shopify's standard product category and collections in Shopify after importing.
  • Shopify's CSV has no sale schedule. If a sale is scheduled to start later, remove the sale price before converting or update prices after importing.
  • Variations set to “Any” value for an attribute can't be imported. Shopify needs a value for every option, and the check results list these rows.
  • Image URLs must be publicly reachable, because Shopify downloads each image during the import.
  • Shopify applies Inventory quantity only to stores with a single location. With several locations, set stock in Shopify after importing.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a plugin to export from WooCommerce?
No. The product exporter is built into WooCommerce. Go to Products > All Products and select Export.
Will my product URLs stay the same?
No. Shopify product URLs use the format /products/handle, so old WooCommerce links change. Create URL redirects in Shopify for pages that get traffic.
Can I move customers and orders too?
This tool converts products only. Customers and orders use different files and tools.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is read and converted in your browser and is never sent to our servers.
