I have an existing ecommerce site (not in WordPress) and I want to swap over to WordPress and WooCommerce. My problem is twofold. First I have organic links that are coming up in Google and I want to keep those. The other is I have a private page, so to speak, where only customers that I have given this specific link to can access it.
So I would like to bee able to use the URL’s from my existing site in WordPress. Can I?

I guess that would depend on how the products are organized. WordPress Pages have the ability to use user defined Permalinks, however Posts (and custom-Post types that most (all?) eCommerce plugins use will have a consistent schema designated under Settings → Permalinks. For more information on Permalinks, please review: Using_Permalinks#Choosing_your_permalink_structure

Generally speaking, instead of trying to match URLs, you would setup 301 Redirects (Permanent) from the old URLs to the new URLs. For more information, please review: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93633?hl=en
