127 Stores Out. Here's What They Say.

“Got the Shopify notice on a Wednesday, was live on WooCommerce by Saturday morning. Every order, every customer, every redirect. Our organic rankings didn't move an inch.”

“I assumed a migration meant weeks of downtime and lost SEO. They ran both stores in parallel, flipped DNS at 3 AM, and Monday revenue was actually up 6%.”

“Nine years on Shopify. Nine years of customers and subscription data. All of it landed in Woo intact, with the loyalty points still attached.”

“Our biggest fear was the redirect map — 2,100 URLs. They shipped a full 301 matrix, fixed Shopify's weird /collections paths, and Search Console stayed green.”

“Amanita products get banned everywhere. They rebuilt our age verification and lab-results pages on Woo better than we had them, and hooked up a processor that actually understands the category.”

“Wholesale pricing tiers were the hard part — took an extra half-day past the 48 hours, which they flagged upfront on the call. Everything else was flawless.”

“Honestly the forced move made us better. New Woo checkout converts 11% higher than our old Shopify theme ever did. Should have left before the ban.”

“We waited too long — booked a call with 5 days left. They triaged us into the emergency queue and we made it with 30 hours to spare. Take the timer seriously.”

“Bonta's office started this whole thing in our state, so we were first in line to leave. Two weeks post-cutover, Search Console shows every money keyword exactly where it was.”

“My biggest fear was 1,900 active subscriptions re-billing on the wrong day and triggering a chargeback wave. Every single billing anchor survived. Not one angry email.”

“They built the catalog with the November THC-cap fields already in place. When we reformulate this fall it's a data update, not another migration. That's thinking two moves ahead.”

“Eleven years of everything on Shopify. The cutover happened while we slept and the morning orders just... arrived on the new store. Felt anticlimactic in the best way.”

“Four payment providers had ghosted us. Their guy got us underwritten for amanita specifically, in writing, with a backup gateway. The migration was almost the easy part.”

“612 lab-result PDFs linked to batches. All of it moved with the URLs preserved — our wholesale buyers bookmark those pages and not one bookmark broke.”

“Net-terms customers and five pricing tiers made us the hard case. Took 54 hours instead of 48 — they said exactly that on the intro call, so no surprises. Would rather honest than fast-on-paper.”

“I booked a Calendly slot at 11 PM in a mild panic. Call next morning, quote on the call, store live on WooCommerce before the weekend. The speed is real.”

“We treated it as a forced move and got an upgrade. Lighter theme, faster checkout, conversion up 9 points. Shopify doing us a favor was not on my 2026 bingo card.”

“Flavored-product rules differ in five of our states. The per-state shipping logic they set up on Woo does automatically what my VA used to do by hand every morning.”
