I have a client that is splitting their current site into two. The custom side of the business is getting a new website with the current domain built on a different builder. The retail side is currently run through WooCommerce on their current site. They want to keep the WordPress site for retail-only and change the domain. I know just enough about WordPress to be dangerous, so I wanted to make sure my plan would work.
**The Plan**
1. Change the domain on the WordPress Site to the retail domain
2. Launch the other site with the original domain
3. Make the current /shop page the home page of the retail site
4. remove all non-commerce pages from the WordPress site
This makes sense in my head, but I wanted to run it past this community to be sure it would work as I think it should. Am I off in my thinking? Any speedbumps I should know about? Thanks in advance!

Here’s how I’d do it (because I didnt understand your plan)
1. Delete all non-WC pages from the WC site
2. Move the WC site into a subfolder (e.g. /shop) or a sub-domain (e.g. [shop.example.com](https://shop.example.com))
3. Build the new site in the root, as normal.
