Wix to Shopify migration

Wix to Shopify Migration, Planned Properly

Move your Wix store to Shopify and keep the visibility you've built.

Outgrown Wix ecommerce? Moving from Wix to Shopify gives you a platform built around selling, but the two organise a store very differently. Product pages and blog posts change address, some content can't be exported from Wix at all, and product options often need rethinking. We plan every Wix to Shopify migration around those details, so your products, customers, content and search rankings arrive safely and nothing important is left behind.

What moves across

What moves from Wix to Shopify, and what doesn't?

Your product list can be exported from Wix Stores as a CSV file (Wix allows up to 5,000 rows per file and doesn't currently export digital products). Contacts and orders can be exported too. Shopify's free Store Migration app supports Wix, which helps with products and customers, though some data still needs tidying once it lands.

The trickier parts are content and addresses. Wix says it isn't currently possible to export blog posts to other platforms, so posts have to be moved across carefully, along with their images and formatting. Your pages need rebuilding in a Shopify theme, and every old Wix URL needs a new home. That's where a careful plan saves your rankings.

What we take care of

Products & options

Products, prices, stock, images and options moved across. Shopify allows up to three options per product, so we restructure anything that doesn't fit.

Customers & orders

Customer records and marketing consent imported, with order history brought across where you need it for reference or repeat sales.

Blog posts & pages

Your Wix blog posts and key pages recreated in Shopify, with headings, images, alt text and internal links kept intact.

URL mapping & redirects

Wix addresses such as /product-page/ and /post/ mapped to Shopify's /products/ and /blogs/ URLs, with 301 redirects set up before launch.

Replacing Wix features

Forms, bookings, reviews and other Wix tools matched with Shopify features or a small number of well-chosen apps.

SEO carried across

Page titles, meta descriptions and structured data checked against your Wix site, then Search Console watched after the switch. A Shopify SEO audit can follow.

Why choose us

A Wix to Shopify move treated as an SEO project

Most problems after leaving Wix come from missing redirects and lost content, not from the products themselves. We plan the move around your search visibility first, and the rest of the build follows. For a wider look at how we handle moves from any platform, see our Shopify migration page.

We're an independent agency rather than a Shopify Partner, but we work on Shopify every day and our own site runs on it. We focus on small businesses and we're honest about fit: if Wix still suits the way you sell, we'll tell you rather than sell you a migration.

QUESTIONS

Wix to Shopify migration FAQs

Straight answers for Wix store owners thinking about the switch.

Will I lose my Google rankings if I move from Wix to Shopify?

Not if it's planned properly. Your Wix product pages usually sit under /product-page/ and blog posts under /post/, while Shopify uses /products/ and /blogs/. Without redirects, those old addresses simply break. We map every page that has traffic or links, set up 301 redirects in Shopify before launch and watch Search Console closely afterwards.

Can you move my Wix blog posts?

Yes. Wix says it isn't currently possible to export blog posts to other platforms, so there's no simple one-click route. We move posts across carefully, keeping headings, images, alt text and links, and give each one a redirect from its old Wix address. If you have a large blog, we'll talk through the most efficient approach in your quote.

Will my customers need to create new accounts?

Customer details can be imported, but Shopify can't migrate passwords from another platform. That's less of a hurdle than it sounds: with Shopify's newer customer accounts, shoppers sign in with a one-time code sent to their email rather than a password. We'll help you plan a short message to let regular customers know what's changed.

What happens to my Wix apps and features?

We list everything your Wix site does, from forms and bookings to reviews and pop-ups, then find the best replacement on Shopify. Some features are built in, others need an app. We keep the app list short, because every extra app adds cost and can slow your store down.

How long does a Wix to Shopify migration take?

For a small store with a straightforward range, usually a few weeks from planning to launch. The main variables are the number of products and options, how much blog content needs moving and how much design work you'd like. Your Wix store keeps trading throughout, and we plan the switchover for a quiet time.

How much does it cost to move from Wix to Shopify?

It depends on the size of your store and how much content and design work is involved. You'll find guide prices on our packages and pricing page and in our ecommerce website packages. We always give you an itemised quote, so you can see exactly what's included before anything starts.

Can I keep my domain name?

Yes. Your domain is part of the visibility you've built, so keeping it is usually the right choice. We check where it's registered, whether that's with Wix or elsewhere, and plan the change of settings so it points to Shopify at the right moment, with your email left working throughout.
