How to Migrate Your Store from Shopp toWooCommerce

WordPress is a leading content management system (CMS), which has

several ecommerce plugins. Both Shopp and WooCommerce are such

plugins – fully functional shopping carts designed for work within

WordPress framework. Which of them is better? It’s not easy to say for

sure. WooCommerce is free, Shopp is paid. Of course, it’s not the only

difference between them. To find a suitable ecommerce solution you may

have to experiment. You can start using a shopping cart and if it’s not good

enough, you can replace it with another one. It’s easier said than done as

you will need to transfer all your data. But there’s no need to worry – if you

are not satisfied with your Shopp platform, you can move your information

to WooCommerce quickly, securely and effortlessly with Cart2Cart, an

automated shopping cart migration service.

Apart from its content management possibilities, the major features of

WooCommerce are its high functionality, user-friendliness, extensibility,

flexible design, promotional and marketing tools, customizability. If you

think WooCommerce is a better choice than Shopp, you can start your

migration right now.
