Migrating to Wordpress from Zen Cart - woocommerce

Im currently managing https://www.clippertea.com.sg/
The site is currently managed by a developer on Zen Cart and hosted on Rackspace.
Due to slow response and generally incompetency and high cost, we decided to manage both the website and the webshop on our own.
There are 2 things we need to do:
1) Migrating https://www.clippertea.com.sg/ to another host and preserving the original design (as an information site)
2) After migration when visitor click on "Shop", it will direct it to the NEW wordpress woocommerce storefront. (as an online shop using woocommerce)
In short, under new host of goDaddy (previously Rackspace), we will have www.clippertea.com.sg with its current existing look and clicking on "Shop" will lead to the woocommerce plugin as our online shop.
Is it possible to do so? (Under WP, one main website for information and clicking on "Shop" category leads to our webshop using Woocommerce)
Do I need another developer to migrate all the content from old site to new site? Or can I do so myself easily.

you can create a "shop" folder where you can upload WordPress and install WooCommerce there.

How to duplicate ACP Pro settings in a different hosted WP?

I am using Advanced Custom Fields Pro on a WordPress site. In order to make the site a sandbox playground environment for our client, I am duplicating the site in a different instance so their changes won't break our site. However, when I duplicated the site, the ACF Pro settings and the custom fields did not transfer over to the new site.
1) Where are the settings saved for the ACF Pro fields we created?
2) How can I duplicate the settings from the old site to the new site without having to manually recreate the same settings by hand?

Video Tutorials Website with different Packages in Wordpress Plugin

I am new to wordpress and i have a project of video tutorials website in wordpress where under different packages, different number of videos will be allocated and after purchasing, the user will be able to view them. I have built normal e-commerce websites but don't know how to make this website. Please guide me if any plugin is available and i can use it. Thank you so much..
With WooCommerce you are good to go. I believe It's the perfect ecommerce plugin for WordPress.
WooCommerce comes with a feature for digital or downloadable product (tutorial video in your case), where the user can be forced to sign in, complete the order and pay before downloading the content. After completing the order, content will be always available for download in that user account.
Note that product bundles are also available for WooCommerce as YITH WooCommerce Product Bundles plugin.
You can simply create a product for each video and a bundle of products for each tutorial (as seen on screenshot). You can set which product bundles will be shown on website.

How to integrate Magento Store and display products into wordpress theme/ website?

I am a newbie to eCommerce, and in process of developing a website for my upcoming eCommerce store from scratch.
I have been working with WordPress "Albar " theme. After researching I found Magento to go ahead with my store.
I have installed Magento through Hostgator ( Hosting service), I am somewhat familiar with adding products , but not able to get a solution to display the products to my website , ie; on WordPress theme.
How to link the store to website ? I have come across WordPress Integration plugins , but still couldn't find a solution.
By default there are some pages appearing in the Magento > CMS > Pages and in preview it opens with the link after my domain name.
Kindly help me out with this problem.

You have to write extension for Magento that adds new controller which return json with products. In Wordpress create ajax request that reads this json and displays products.

Wordpress: Using it as a news CMS only?

I tried to search everywhere for an answer to my question but I still doesn't understand how Wordpress fully work.
I would like to use Wordpress as my news system CMS only. This means, I do not wish to set up my page layout via the Wordpress theme interface. If you guys know another news CMS called CuteNews, I want my Wordpress to operate pretty much like CuteNews.
How can I put Wordpress post entries into my website that uses my own layout (and not using the theme interface in Wordpress).
Thanks!

I have used this as a starting point for my detached wordpress site and it's working perfect.
You can actually! Without converting it to a theme. It works for me as I don't do wordpress themes but I use WP to power the back-end of my websites. I utilize WP's CMS feature.
here's a checklist of what you can possibly do to your website.
Your website design (html/css)
Install Wordpress on your server, or locally.
Download Blank WP Template, set this as your default template for your wordpress site.
Edit the Theme's CSS/Header/Footer according to your website design while keeping essential WP codes provided in the template.
Set your News Page as the Blog Entry in WP Dashboard.
If you want some news preview, such as titles to appear somewhere on your site like homepage, you can either call it thru PHP code available on the net or install a plugin in WP.
Items listed above maybe broad, but that's a starting point, as you can research on the net for detailed information on how to go about your website with wordpress CMS.
Best of Luck!
