Want to move from Shopify to Woocommerce

[jackbauer]

Hello,

I have some questions

1. Does Woocommerce send emails to customers for new orders?

2. And does the plugin also update tracking info for all customers?

3. Can you import orders in Woocommerce?

Thank you

Hello Jack,

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. What do you exactly mean?

But my personal advise: don't do it! Well, unless you are convinced by this plugin and broke from Shopify fees.

Agree with Jubran here. I never couldn't make my woo site look good like is on Shopify. I'm not totally beginer but for woo you will need a lot of customization and plugins to work properly. This is just my opinion.

 

[jackbauer]

Orders I make with clickfunnels for example.

What is it that I shouldn't do?

I agree. If someone has to ask those questions, they would find using Woo a struggle until they were more experienced. Best to stick with Shopify or get the Alidropship plugin/Original.

I think these are the minimal plugins needed to set up a good looking and functional Woo/Alidropship setup ...

Wow, that's a lot of plugins...

I will need to study all this more thoroughly.

Thanks!

There's a few there you could do without like the newsletter stuff, maintenance, Youtube Embed, Tawk.to Chat, Library folders, Post Grid, SEO pack, Facebook and Instagram feeds etc ... but then you start having a pretty boring site ...

Newsletter and facebook feed are my bread and butter

The "Facebook for WooCommerce" is even better. Automatically posts and updates your products into a "Shop" tab on your Facebook page ... plus it's free! (Get it from WooCommerce site)

 

[jackbauer]

I just need a feed with my products.

The Facebook feed just displays your Facebook posts on your site. What's the point of having a Facebook feed of your products/posts on your site ... when people are already on your site and can see the products already?

Much better to have the products in a Shop tab on your Facebook page, in my opinion + have them as posts in the timeline section as well of course.

 

[jackbauer]

The feed is essential for Facebook DPA ads which are the most profitable ads you can ever have.

Are you talking about feeds on your site or feeds on your Facebook page? I was talking about the first one.

 

[jackbauer]

I was simply talking about a Facebook feed to create a product catalog inside of Facebook.

That's what the "Facebook for Woocommerce" is. And the "Facebook Feed" simply displays your Facebook posts on your website. Seem like we're having a communication problem. No worries.

Perfect now.

Do you know what plugins are used here in this store, this is all I need:

Those are standard Woo plugins already built in. You just need to insert the shortcodes on your homepage. (or anywhere) You can see some here ... https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/ ... or Google "Woocommerce shortcodes" for more.

e.g [recent_products]
or ... [recent_products limit="4" columns="4"]

etc


EDIT: Setup a "Static Homepage" in "Appearance/Customization" or Settings/ Reading

 

[jackbauer]

OK thanks

Instead of sticking in technicalities, there's the best solution is you can easily migrate using WordPress migration plugin by Cloudways, It's quite easier and convenient.
