Altera now has a built-in WooCommerce connector. Paste your WooCommerce site URL and a read-only REST API key, pick the data types you want, and Altera pulls the data into a single Excel file you can import into Shopify with the normal Altera import flow. No more reformatting WooCommerce exports by hand.
What’s New#
- WooCommerce connector - new Migrations section in Altera connects to any public WooCommerce site via its REST API and produces a Shopify-ready xlsx in one run.
- Products - migrate products with variants, images, prices, and body HTML (with inline images carried across).
- Categories as Manual Collections - each WooCommerce category becomes a Manual Collection on the destination store, with products assigned automatically.
- Customers - pull customer records with billing and shipping addresses.
- Orders - historical orders with line items, refunds, and notes.
- Coupons - WooCommerce coupons mapped to Shopify discount codes.
- Redirects - WooCommerce product, category, and page URLs converted to Shopify URL redirects so existing links keep working.
- Reviews - product reviews exported in Altera, Judge.me, or Loox CSV format so you can drop them into your chosen Shopify review app.
- Per-data-type filters - narrow each run by status (e.g. only
publishproducts, onlycompletedorders) and by created/updated date range. Filters apply at the WooCommerce API for genuinely smaller runs. - Connection test built in - the create flow tests your credentials immediately and shows a specific error code (bad auth, blocked by Cloudflare, plain permalinks, etc.) so you can fix the source instead of guessing.
- Past runs preserved - each migration keeps a history of every run with row counts and the resulting file, so you can iterate without losing earlier output.
