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
