Shopify's rising subscription fees and per-transaction charges are pushing more store owners to evaluate a move to WordPress + WooCommerce. But migration cost quotes vary wildly — sometimes $3,000 to $80,000 for stores that look nearly identical on paper — and most guides don't explain why.
This breakdown covers real 2026 pricing by store tier: DIY migration tools run $70–$500 but only move raw data, leaving theme setup, app replacement, and SEO redirects entirely on you. A small store (under 100 products, standard theme) realistically costs $1,000–$5,000 professionally done. A mid-size store with custom design, subscriptions, or multiple app replacements runs $5,000–$15,000. Large stores with thousands of SKUs, ERP integrations, or complex customization land in the $15,000–$30,000+ range.
The article also covers what actually drives the price (catalog complexity, Shopify app replacements, payment gateway reconfiguration, SEO redirect mapping), a DIY vs. tool vs. developer comparison, hidden costs most quotes skip (password resets, manually rebuilt pages, ongoing hosting), three real-world cost examples with scope and timeline, and a checklist of questions to ask before accepting any migration quote.
