From 3dcart to Shift4Shop, and away
-
01
3dcart is now Shift4Shop
After Shift4 bought 3dcart, the platform was renamed Shift4Shop. Plans, terms and priorities changed with the new owner.
-
02
Tied to one processor
The free Shift4Shop plan requires Shift4 as your payment processor. To choose your own, you pay for a plan.
-
03
Dated core templates
Many stores still run old 3dcart themes. Modern, mobile-first design means heavy template editing.
-
04
A small app ecosystem
Fewer apps and integrations than larger platforms, so new needs often mean workarounds.
-
05
Fixed URL patterns
Product and category URLs follow patterns like _p_ and _c_ with .html endings. You cannot shape them for SEO.
-
06
Hosted only
You cannot choose the host or server setup, and you do not get full access to the code behind your store.
What we migrate from 3dcart
-
Products and advanced options
Products, option sets and advanced options become WooCommerce variations or add-on fields, with SKUs, prices and stock.
-
Categories and manufacturers
Categories, subcategories and manufacturers move with descriptions, images and product assignments.
-
Customers and orders
Profiles, addresses, customer groups and order history. Passwords cannot be exported, so customers get a reset email at launch.
-
Every URL redirected
All _p_ product and _c_ category URLs get 301 redirects to clean WooCommerce URLs, so search traffic follows.
-
Payment freedom
We connect the payment gateway you choose and test real payments on staging.

How the migration works
-
Audit
We review your 3dcart data, apps and URLs, including your payment setup, and agree a fixed scope and price. Takes 2-5 days. -
Test import
We run a full test migration to a staging site so you can check products, customers and orders. Usually done in the first week. -
Build
We rebuild the design and features in WooCommerce with custom Gutenberg blocks, with weekly demos. Takes 1-8 weeks depending on size. -
Launch
We sync new orders and customers, switch on 301 redirects and move the domain. Your 3dcart store stays live until the switch, so no orders are lost. -
Support
We watch orders, speed and Search Console in the weeks after launch. Then you can move to a monthly support plan.
What our clients say
3dcart migration FAQ
Answers for 3dcart and Shift4Shop store owners.
How long does a 3dcart to WooCommerce migration take?
A small store with up to 1,000 products takes 2-4 weeks. Larger catalogues take 4-10 weeks. You get a fixed timeline after the audit.
Is 3dcart the same as Shift4Shop?
Yes. 3dcart was renamed Shift4Shop after Shift4 bought it. We migrate stores from both names the same way.
Can I use my own payment processor on WooCommerce?
Yes. WooCommerce works with all major gateways, and there is no platform fee tied to your processor.
Will customers keep their passwords?
No. Shift4Shop does not export passwords. Customers set a new one through a reset email we send at launch.
What happens to my _p_ and _c_ URLs?
Each one gets a 301 redirect to its new WooCommerce URL, so rankings and backlinks carry over.
Do I lose sales during the switch?
No. Your store keeps selling while we build on staging, and we sync the latest orders at launch.
