Wix to Shopify Migration

Outgrown Wix? Move to Shopify.

Wix is a website builder that bolted on ecommerce. Shopify was built to sell from day one. I migrate your entire store — products, customers, digital downloads, content — with zero downtime and your Google rankings intact.

  • Every product, variant, image and digital download migrated
  • Customer data and order history preserved
  • 301 redirects on every URL — Google rankings stay
  • 2 week delivery — your Wix store stays live throughout

Why Businesses Are Moving from Wix to Shopify

Wix works for simple websites. But when you're serious about selling online, the limitations start costing you money.

Checkout That Actually Converts

Shopify's checkout is used by millions of stores and is constantly optimised for conversion. Shop Pay alone increases checkout speed by 4x. Wix's checkout is functional but basic — and basic costs you sales.

8,000+ Apps vs Wix's Walled Garden

Need email marketing, subscription boxes, wholesale pricing, or print-on-demand? Shopify's app store has it. Wix locks you into their own tools or a handful of third-party options.

Sell Everywhere, Not Just Your Website

Shopify connects directly to Amazon, eBay, Instagram Shopping, TikTok Shop, and Google Shopping from one dashboard. Manage inventory across every channel. Wix can't do this.

Physical, Digital and Free Products Together

Selling board games and downloadable rules PDFs? Physical products and digital files? Shopify handles mixed catalogues properly. One checkout, one inventory system, one set of analytics.

The Bottom Line

Wix is a website builder that added a shop. Shopify is a shop that happens to build beautiful websites. If selling is the point, Shopify is the platform.

How I Migrate Your Wix Store to Shopify

Your Wix store stays live and taking orders throughout. The new Shopify store is built alongside it, tested thoroughly, then switched over.

1

Store Audit

I go through your entire Wix store — products, pages, digital downloads, integrations, custom forms — and document everything that needs to move.

2

Shopify Build

Your new Shopify store gets built on a development URL. Theme design, payment gateway, shipping rules, tax configuration — all set up and tested before anything goes live.

3

Data Migration

Products, images, variants, digital files, customers, and content are exported from Wix and imported into Shopify. Every item verified.

4

SEO Redirect Mapping

Every Wix URL gets a 301 redirect to its Shopify equivalent. Meta titles, descriptions, and alt tags transfer. Your Google rankings are protected.

5

Testing

Full checkout testing, payment processing, digital download delivery, shipping calculations, mobile responsiveness. Nothing goes live until everything works.

6

Go-Live & Training

DNS switch takes minutes. I monitor the first 48 hours, provide Shopify admin training, and make sure you're confident managing your new store.

Delivery: 2 weeks from start to launch. Your Wix store stays live throughout.

Everything Migrates

Nothing gets left behind. Here's what transfers from your Wix store to Shopify.

Collections & Categories

Product organisation structure recreated in Shopify collections

SEO Metadata

Page titles, meta descriptions, image alt text, and URL redirects for every page

Pages & Blog Content

About pages, FAQ pages, blog posts, and any other content pages from your Wix site

The Wix Migration Challenges I Handle For You

Wix wasn't designed for easy migration. These are the real obstacles — and how I solve them.

No Proper Data Export

Wix doesn't give you a clean export file like other platforms. Product data, images, and content need to be extracted methodically.

I use a combination of Wix's partial export tools and direct extraction to capture everything your store contains.

Client-Side Rendering

Wix renders pages with JavaScript, which makes content extraction and SEO analysis more complex than traditional platforms.

I work with the rendered content to ensure nothing is missed during the extraction and migration process.

Proprietary URL Structure

Wix URLs don't follow standard patterns, making redirect mapping a manual process that needs care.

Every URL gets manually mapped and tested. No automated tools guessing — human verification on every redirect.

Wix App Replacements

Wix Bookings, Wix Events, Wix Forms — these proprietary features need Shopify equivalents configured.

I identify every Wix feature you're using and set up the best Shopify app replacement, configured and tested.

"I originally reached out to Tony to help with SEO but unfortunately my website crashed to a point where I thought it was beyond repair. I was panicking and didn't know what to do when Tony asked if I would allow him to help me recover my website. After a very long few weeks I got a message from Tony telling me my website is back up and running. Something I thought was gone for good. Couldn't recommend him enough for his work. He also helped with SEO for the website! Thank you Tony"
