Wix
to Shopify.

Wix is a great place to start. When you're ready to grow — more products, more channels, more countries — Shopify is built for it. We'll move you across without losing what you've built.

Signs you've outgrown Wix

  1. 01

    Selling in more places

    You want Instagram, Google Shopping, marketplaces or a shop counter running from one catalogue.

    Selling overseas

    Local currencies, duties and translated storefronts for international customers.

  3. 03

    Wholesale customers

    Trade accounts and pricing alongside your retail store.

  4. 04

    More control

    A bigger choice of ecommerce apps and a checkout built for conversion, with Shop Pay.

What to watch

The Wix details that matter.

Your URLs will change

Wix product pages usually live at /product-page/name and blog posts at /post/name. On Shopify they become /products/name and /blogs/journal/name. Every old URL is mapped to its new home with a 301 redirect, so the rankings you've earned carry across.

Content and design

Wix pages are built visually, so they don't export neatly. We rebuild your key pages properly on Shopify — usually an improvement — and carry your blog posts, images and SEO titles across.

Your domain

If you bought your domain through Wix, it can either be transferred or simply pointed at Shopify. Either way, your email keeps working if it's set up correctly — we check that before launch.

Customer accounts

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

Wix migration questions

Is it worth moving if my store is small?

Sometimes not yet — and we'll tell you that honestly. If your current platform is doing the job, an audit can show what to fix where you are. Moving makes sense when you're hitting its limits.

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.
