Moving a WooCommerce shop from WordPress to Shopify without losing SEO

About 300 products plus a blog with years of posts behind it. The product import looks easy enough, but I'm nervous about every URL changing and where the blog ends up. How did you handle redirects and blog content when you moved, and did traffic dip?

Every URL will change, there's no avoiding it. Shopify forces /products/ in front of products, /collections/ for categories and /blogs// for posts. So the whole job is the redirect map. Crawl the old site before you touch anything and export every URL, then match each one to its new home in a spreadsheet: products to products, categories to collections, posts to posts. Shopify's URL redirects section takes a CSV import, so 300 products plus the blog is very doable. Import the blog posts properly rather than leaving them on WordPress, and keep titles and meta descriptions the same. After launch, watch Search Console for 404s for a few weeks and add redirects as they show up. A small dip for a few weeks is normal. A big lasting drop nearly always means redirects were missed.
