What's WooCommerce really costing you?
Three numbers. Thirty seconds. See what you'd stop paying, plus the checkout conversion upside, over a year on Shopify.
That's a +15% lift
Estimated annual upside of moving
+$162,900
- Your conversion rate2.0% to 2.3% on Shopify (+15%)
- WooCommerce costs you'd stop paying+$27,300
- Shopify Plus platform fee (3-year term)-$44,400
- Net running-cost change-$17,100
- Extra revenue from that lift, on the same traffic+$180,000
And these numbers are based on Shopify Plus, the most expensive plan Shopify offers. Most stores don't need Plus, and on a cheaper plan the numbers stack up even better.
Same visitors, converting a little better. Not extra traffic, not inflated numbers.

A rough estimate based on our migrations, where conversion lift ranges from 10% to 24%, not a guarantee.
Why merchants are moving to Shopify
001
Checkout conversion
Shopify has the highest-converting checkout in ecommerce, built and hosted by Shopify.
An independent study found it converts up to 36% higher than other platforms, and 15% higher on average.
Shop Pay lifts conversion up to 50% more than guest checkout.
Independent study by a Big Three global consulting firm, commissioned by Shopify, 2023.
Potential uplift:+15% conversion lift, typical
002
Site speed
Shopify includes a globally distributed CDN and enterprise infrastructure in your plan, managed for you.
You could match those speeds on WooCommerce, but only with expensive hosting and infrastructure to run yourself.
Shopify stores load 2.4x faster than WooCommerce on average. (Shopify)
Potential uplift:Enterprise infrastructure, included
003
Total cost of ownership
WooCommerce looks free. Hosting, premium plugins, security and dev retainers say otherwise.
Shopify rolls hosting, security, checkout and support into one predictable bill.
Potential uplift:Maintenance dev spend drops to zero
004
Reliability at peak
On WooCommerce, staying up under load runs from about $1,000 a month in hosting and infrastructure, and it can still crash.
On Shopify, uptime is Shopify's responsibility.
No more crashing on collection launches or campaign spikes.
Potential uplift:Near-zero downtime at peak
005
Agentic commerce
AI-driven traffic to Shopify stores has grown 8x since January 2025. Orders from AI search are up 15x.
Agentic Storefronts syndicates your catalogue across AI platforms automatically, in real time.
WooCommerce has no equivalent. The gap widens every quarter.
Potential uplift:A new sales channel with zero setup

What the move actually looks like
Muscle Nation
Muscle Nation's WooCommerce store was crashing on every collection launch. Customer data and product info were split across two separate sites.
Arkhi migrated them from WooCommerce to Shopify Plus in 4 weeks. The next collection launch: zero crashes.

“Partnering with Arkhi was one of the best decisions we have made. Not only did they launch our Shopify site within weeks, but they also made it aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly.”Read the case studyNathaniel Anthony, Co-founder
ATP Science
ATP Science was on WordPress. Slow load times, a clunky UX, and a backend the internal team struggled to manage. Sales were being left on the table.
Arkhi moved them to Shopify Plus and rebuilt the full stack, including ERP, Klaviyo, Gorgias, and subscriptions via ReCharge.

We build a full 301 redirect map before launch, so every URL that ranks points at its new home. Expect some short-term movement while Google recrawls, then recovery within weeks. We've run this play for every store we've migrated.
