How to migrate from WooCommerce to Mrfqy
Leave plugin maintenance behind: export WordPress products, import to Mrfqy, and launch on managed Arab-market infrastructure.
WooCommerce gave you control — and hosting bills, security updates, and plugin conflicts. Mrfqy trades DIY overhead for managed Arab e-commerce: bilingual RTL, regional payments, free Starter, and Pro ops tools at ~999 EGP/month. This guide covers exporting from WordPress, importing to Mrfqy, decommissioning your server, and avoiding SEO downtime.
Who should migrate
Migrate if you're a merchant, not a WordPress maintainer — tired of PHP updates breaking Paymob plugins, or paying a developer monthly for Arabic RTL fixes.
Stay on WooCommerce if you need heavy content+commerce blogging, membership plugins, or custom PHP that Mrfqy doesn't replicate.
Subscription and membership plugins on WooCommerce need a parallel plan — Mrfqy handles standard products and digital downloads; recurring memberships may stay on WordPress read-only until you rebuild billing logic.
From RTL plugins to native bilingual
Export product data via WooCommerce → Products → Export or WP All Export. Copy Arabic titles/descriptions from Polylang/WPML fields into Mrfqy bilingual product fields.
Deactivate RTL theme plugins — Mrfqy storefronts handle layout natively. Preview on mobile in both EN and AR before DNS cutover.
URL structure changes hurt SEO if mishandled — export WooCommerce permalink patterns and plan 301 redirects from `/product/` slugs to Mrfqy routes before you shut Apache; keep Search Console open for crawl errors the first month.
