WooCommerce to Commerce7, without leaving WordPress
If your winery sells through WooCommerce, you’re already on a platform we know inside out. We build, maintain and market WooCommerce sites, and when a winery needs its online shop, wine club, cellar door and bookings in one place, we move it to Commerce7. We wrote the Commerce7 for WordPress plugin, which connects more than 1,000 wineries worldwide, so your site stays on WordPress while Commerce7 does the selling. 5forests is the only Commerce7 Platinum Partner with offices in the UK and Europe.

Why move a winery from WooCommerce to Commerce7?
WooCommerce is a good way to sell wine online. Commerce7 is built to run a winery, and the difference shows once the club and the cellar door matter as much as the shop.
One customer record
Commerce7 runs your online shop, wine club, cellar door till and tour bookings from one customer record, so the person who joins the club online is the same person your team greets at the tasting room.
A wine club built in
Club members, shipments and billing live in Commerce7 itself, instead of in subscription add-ons attached to a shop.
You keep WordPress
Because we wrote the Commerce7 for WordPress plugin, your pages and content stay on WordPress while Commerce7 runs the store.
Is it time to move your winery off WooCommerce?
Wineries usually come to us for this for one of four reasons.
The shop, the club and the bookings live in different systems
A WooCommerce shop, a spreadsheet of club members, a separate booking tool and a till that talks to none of them. Each holds its own version of the same customer.
Your club has outgrown its plugins
A club run through subscription add-ons works while it’s small. Once you’re changing shipments, pausing members and charging the whole club on the same day, it becomes somebody’s whole week.
The cellar door can’t see your online customers
When the till and the website keep separate records, your team can’t see that the couple at the bar bought a case online last month, and the couple can’t see their cellar door purchases in their account.
Every update is a job for a developer
Between WordPress, WooCommerce and the extensions that run your club, shipping and tax, any update can break checkout, so somebody has to test the whole site every time.
Staying on WooCommerce?
That’s fine too. We build, maintain and market WooCommerce sites for wineries, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a move is worth it for you.
Questions about moving from WooCommerce to Commerce7
What data moves from WooCommerce to Commerce7?
Products, customers and their addresses, order history, club memberships and saved payment cards. Commerce7 recommends migrating 1 to 3 years of order history, depending on your business.
Can we keep our WordPress website?
Yes. The Commerce7 for WordPress plugin, which we wrote, connects Commerce7 to WordPress, so your pages and content stay on WordPress and Commerce7 runs the store.
Does Commerce7 have a WooCommerce importer?
No. Commerce7 has no built-in import tools, so data moves through its API, with a developer or Commerce7’s own migration team.
Do you still work on WooCommerce sites?
Yes. We build, maintain and market WooCommerce sites for wineries.
