Migrating a motorcycle accessories store from WooCommerce to Shopify (2026)
How to migrate a motorcycle accessories, biker gear, or motorbike parts WooCommerce store to Shopify — helmet safety standards, CE-rated protective clothing, type approval for parts, fitment compatibility, and motorcycle retail Shopify setup.
Motorcycle accessories retail spans safety-critical products (helmets, protective clothing, gloves, boots) through to styling accessories, luggage, and electronics. Safety certification is a primary purchase criterion — UK law requires helmets to meet specific standards, and informed riders prioritise CE-rated protective clothing. Fitment compatibility (make, model, year) is essential for parts. Migrating to Shopify suits motorcycle retail, but the product data structure must reflect safety certifications and fitment data accurately.
Product categories
- Helmets: Full face, open face (3/4), half face, modular. Safety-rated.
- Jackets: Leather and textile motorcycle jackets. CE-rated armour.
- Trousers: Leather and textile motorcycle trousers. CE-rated hip and knee armour.
- Gloves: Summer, winter, sport, touring gloves. CE-rated.
- Boots: Motorcycle boots and shoes. CE EN 13634 certified.
- Back protectors: Standalone back protection inserts. CE level 1/2.
- Luggage: Tankbags, panniers, tail packs. Capacity in litres.
- Parts and accessories: Handlebar grips, mirrors, exhausts, indicators. Fitment-specific.
Helmet safety standards
UK law requires motorcycle helmets to meet specific safety standards:
- Legal minimum: helmets sold and used in the UK must meet at least ECE 22.05 (being superseded by ECE 22.06) or BSI 6658:1985 — note which standard is met
- ECE 22.06: the current UN ECE standard, updated from 22.05 with improved impact and retention tests — note if helmet is to the newer 22.06 standard
- SHARP rating: UK government-funded independent helmet safety rating (1–5 stars based on crash testing) — highly trusted by UK riders; note SHARP rating if available
- FIM Homologation: required for FIM-sanctioned racing — note for race-focused helmets
- Size system: helmet sizing in cm head circumference (52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62) — provide head circumference measurement guide
product.metafields.moto.helmet_standard = "ECE 22.06 / ECE 22.05 / BSI 6658"
product.metafields.moto.sharp_rating = "5"
product.metafields.moto.helmet_type = "Full face / Open face / Modular / Half"
product.metafields.moto.head_circ_cm = "57-58" // size range
product.metafields.moto.shell_material = "Fibreglass / Carbon fibre / Polycarbonate"
product.metafields.moto.visor_included = "true"
product.metafields.moto.visor_pinlock_ready = "true"CE-rated protective clothing (EN 17092)
Protective motorcycle clothing is rated under EN 17092:2020 — the current European standard:
- EN 17092 replaces the older EN 13595 standard — note which standard the garment meets; 17092 is current
- Garment classes: Class AA (highest protection), Class A, Class B, Class C — note class on all jackets and trousers
- CE Level 1/2 armour: impact protectors in shoulders, elbows, knees, hips — Level 2 offers better impact protection; note level on all armour inserts
- Back protector: note if back protector is included, its CE level, and whether it is integrated or removable
- Abrasion resistance: noted in seconds of abrasion resistance by zone — relevant for informed buyers
product.metafields.moto.garment_class = "AA / A / B / C"
product.metafields.moto.ce_standard = "EN 17092:2020"
product.metafields.moto.shoulder_armour_level = "2"
product.metafields.moto.elbow_armour_level = "2"
product.metafields.moto.back_protector_level = "1"
product.metafields.moto.back_protector_included = "false" // separate purchase required
product.metafields.moto.material = "Leather / Textile / Cordura / Mesh"Boots: EN 13634 certification
Motorcycle boots are certified under EN 13634:2017:
- Performance levels: 1 or 2 for height (shaft height), abrasion resistance, impact cut resistance, and transverse rigidity
- Label format: e.g. "2 2 2 2" — higher numbers indicate better protection in each category
- Note CE certification level on all motorcycle boots — distinguishes proper motorcycle footwear from fashion boots
Parts fitment compatibility
Motorcycle parts must specify compatible makes, models, and years:
- Year/Make/Model (YMM) fitment: required for all parts — e.g. "Fits Honda CB500F 2019–2023"
- Universal vs model-specific: clearly note if part is universal fit or model-specific
- Part number: OEM part number cross-reference helps buyers confirm compatibility
- Type approval: modifications to certain components (lights, exhausts) may affect vehicle type approval — note regulatory implications on relevant products
product.metafields.moto.fitment_make = "Honda / Kawasaki / Yamaha / BMW"
product.metafields.moto.fitment_model = "CB500F"
product.metafields.moto.fitment_year_from = "2019"
product.metafields.moto.fitment_year_to = "2023"
product.metafields.moto.universal_fit = "false"Post-migration checklist for motorcycle accessories stores
