Squarespace to Shopify, when the shop outgrew the website.
Squarespace is a great website builder with a shop attached. When the shop becomes the business, Shopify gives you the catalogue, checkout and apps to match. We move it without breaking your rankings.
What moves, and how
Products and variants
Physical products exported, cleaned and imported with images, variants and stock levels.
Customers
Customer records and marketing consent. Customers set a new password through an activation e-mail.
Pages and blog
Content pages and blog posts rebuilt on Shopify, with headings, titles and meta descriptions kept.
Redirects
Every product, category and blog URL mapped to its new Shopify address with a 301.
What to watch on this platform
Scheduling and member areas
If you sell appointments or memberships on Squarespace, we pick the Shopify app for it before quoting.
Digital products
Downloads and subscriptions move to dedicated Shopify apps, not the core catalogue import.
Design
Your look moves to a Shopify theme. We match the brand, not the template.
Fixed prices
What it costs
Migration S
from $3,500

How much does a Squarespace to Shopify migration cost?
Most stores fit Migration S, from $3,500, with every old URL redirected.
Will my store be offline during the move?
