Why brands move from Squarespace

  1. 01

    Built for selling

    Shopify is an ecommerce platform first, with the checkout, stock and order tools to match.

  2. 02

    Selling everywhere

    Social, Google, marketplaces and in person, all from one catalogue.

  3. 03

    International

    Local currencies, duties and translated storefronts.

  4. 04

    Room to grow

    A bigger choice of apps for reviews, subscriptions, bundles, loyalty and email.

What to watch

The Squarespace details that matter.

Your URLs will change

Squarespace products usually sit under your shop page, for example /shop/p/name, and blog posts under /blog/name. On Shopify they become /products/name and /blogs/journal/name. Every old URL gets a 301 redirect so rankings carry across.

Design and content

Squarespace pages are built visually, so they're rebuilt properly on Shopify rather than copied. Blog posts, images and SEO titles move across.

Your domain

If your domain is registered with Squarespace, it can be pointed at Shopify or transferred. We check your email settings before launch so nothing stops working.

Customer accounts

Customer records and marketing consent move across. Passwords can't be transferred, so customers are invited to activate a new account.

Squarespace migration questions

Will my new store look as good?

Better, ideally. Every TigerCommerce store is designed around your brand, and Shopify's modern themes give plenty of room for great photography and storytelling.

Will my store go offline?

No. The new Shopify store is built alongside your current site, and the switch happens at launch by pointing your domain at Shopify.

Will I lose my Google rankings?

Not if the redirects are done properly. Every old URL is mapped to its new page, SEO content is carried across and Search Console is monitored after launch. It's the most important part of any migration, and it's included in every one we do.
