How to Migrate from Squarespace to Shopify in an Automated Way
Store replatforming is never easy and takes lots of time and effort. But with the proper instruments at hand, it can be turned into a pleasurable experience.
Shopify stores can easily be integrated with Squarespace sites and domains.
By doing so, you can promote your Shopify store from your Squarespace site and sell your products on multiple platforms.
Your domain can be integrated into your Shopify store and Squarespace website in several ways:
- Your Squarespace domain can be pointed or forwarded to your Shopify store if you bought it from Squarespace.
- You should transfer your Shopify domain to Squarespace if you would like to host it.
- Shopify domains can be connected to Squarespace sites so that users are redirected to your Squarespace site when they enter your domain in their browser.
Now, let's explore the fastest and most trouble-free way of Squarespace to Shopify migration with the help of Cart2Cart automated migration service. You just have to follow these simple steps, and your store will be transferred to a new platform in the blink of an eye.
You can easily automate the process of Squarespace to Shopify migration by making use of the Cart2Cart Store Migration App.
Prep Your Squarespace Store
Go through your current store, check all the data, delete the irrelevant info and duplicates.
Set up a Shopify Account
Register a new account and choose the appropriate Shopify pricing plan. In case you're not ready to make the final decision, it is possible to sign up for a free 90-day trial.
It is advisable not to change or customize the default Shopify theme before the migration is over, since it may have a negative impact on the transition process.
Configure the Source and Target Carts
Select Squarespace from the popup list as your Source Cart. Provide its URL, Admin email, and password.
Next, choose Shopify as your Target cart. Click the Install Plugin button to enable the connection with the Shopify store.
Once the connection between your stores is established, proceed to the next step of the Migration Wizard by clicking the Choose Entities button.
Specify Store Data that Will be Transferred to Shopify
Cart2Cart provides you with the possibility to transfer the following data entities to the Shopify store:
- Products
- Categories
- Customers
- Orders
- Blogs
- Posts
- Coupons
- CMS pages
You can either select all the data types by ticking the box "Select all" or indicate those that need to be migrated.
Please note that it is possible to configure Shopify's shipping settings and specify which countries you'll be distributing goods to. In case your Squarespace store orders include countries different from those selected on Shopify, they will be skipped during the migration. To prevent that, we advise you to check all the source store countries and add them in Shopify's settings before the data transfer.
Go Through the Additional Options
If you wish to make the switching process run even more smoothly, consider choosing some of the following additional migration options:
- Since Shopify has a specific URL structure, it is recommended to select the "Create 301 redirects on your target store after migration" option that will help your Squarespace products and category URLs working on Shopify.
- If you wish to save order IDs on the Shopify store after the replatforming, choose the "Preserve order IDs on Target Store" option.
- "Migrate Source Store categories into Shopify Automated Collections" option will help you simplify further store management processes and let you define a single product to several different collections.
Also, you should keep in mind the following facts:
- Shopify has a unique way of URL creation. Therefore, its Categories are called collections and subcategories - product tags.
- Moreover, Shopify comprises two collection types: custom and automated. They differ in the way of product grouping. The custom collections may be altered due to the specific needs of the store owner. Automatic ones, on the other hand, attain the matching products in an automated way.
- Shopify changes categories into collections (myshopify.com/collections/), adds the word "product" to each product page (myshopify.com/products/telephone), and replaces dots with dashes at the end of links (/products/telephone-html).
- In case the customer email on the Squarespace cart is incorrect, our service will automatically generate new default "unknown" email address during the migration of Customers to Shopify. The same will happen during the migration of Orders that are not connected to the specific customer.
Perform Store Mapping
Now you will need to match Squarespace order statuses to the ones on your future Shopify store
Start Demo Migration
It is possible to skip this step, but we highly recommend you to run the free Demo Migration of 10-30 data entities. It takes only 30 minutes and will help you see the transfer in action.
Please, do not close your browser window till the transfer is over.
Launch the Full Migration
If you're satisfied with the results of the Free Demo, it's about time to start the Full Migration of your Squarespace store to Shopify by clicking the Start Migration button. Now you can close the browser window and safely return to your trading activities.

Post-Migration Configurations
After you've received an email notification that the Full migration of your store is complete, we recommend you to proceed as follows:
- Check the frontend, go through all the links, make a few test purchases, register new users.
- Offer your customers to renew their accounts at Shopify. As an alternative, you may use the "Bulk Account Invite Sender" to send the direct invitations.
- Enhance the overall look of your store by installing a Shopify theme and other necessary extensions.
- If you wish to transfer all the new data (orders, clients, etc.) that might have appeared on your store during or after the migration, we recommend you to use the Recent Data Migration service.
- Another essential thing to keep in mind - the cart perceives every transferred order as the new one. Consequently, you will receive numerous email notifications. If you wish to stop receiving them sign in to Shopify, go to settings->notifications, and click "Disable" at the bottom of the page (right corner).

This Shopify Migration App worked great to migrate our store from Volusion to Shopify! It transferred over all product descriptions, photos, categories, etc. seamlessly. It’s very easy to use, and the instructions are very easy to follow. Considering the amount of information that we needed transferred, it did not take as long as we had expected.
We did an initial transfer to test out how things would look and how everything would function. It worked great! We purchased insurance with our migration so that we could re-migrate once our shop was closer to being ready to push live, and customer service has been AMAZING in our requests necessary with our remigration. They are very responsive, very informative, and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this service if you are looking to transfer your eCommerce site. Everything has been great! Thank you!

We had a few false starts, but ultimately I was paired with a great customer service representative who did everything necessary to transfer our products correctly from Wix to Shopify. I will absolutely use this company for future client migrations.

I contacted Cart2Cart’s help desk (direct chat) and had my questions answered very quickly and very politely. I feel much more confident now with my decision to use Cart2Cart to do the data migration from my existing website to Shopify. I was recommended to Cart2Cart for Shopify Migration by a trusted friend and I will definitely recommend them also to anyone looking to migrate. Moving website providers has been a source of stress for me and at least this is one less thing to worry about.

I had a great experience with Cart2Cart. Reading some of the negative reviews here says more about how complex ecommerce migration is than anything else. I will say that I highly recommend paying the extra $ for their assisted service, which I did. It is totally work the extra $200 or $300 because you get a project manager who is very available, and you get to tweak your migration settings to make sure everything is just right. With the automated tools they offer, you’re on your own. But their customer support on my project was fast and responsive to my questions, and they were able to make any adjustments I needed. I migrated from Virtuemart to Shopify with over 12,000 orders and 4,000 customers. The migration was smooth. They scheduled the last “new data” import for me at a time I chose (within their working hours). And the migration was a success.

Fantastic App. We migrated from Volusion to Shopify with no problems. Customer Accounts, Inventory, Sales Orders…everything was transferred over.
The only quirk we had was that passwords didn’t transfer over (I’m sure this is a security issue and I have no problem with it at all). The solution was to just send out a mass e-mail to all of our customers asking them to reset their password. Once they reset their password they would still have their shipping information saved as well as the list of their previous orders.
WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS APP…but like any migration process be sure you research & make sure you are doing it the correct way so there are no issues. You can’t blame a vendor for a user mistake 🙂

My experience with Migration for Shopify was positive. I was explained about the prerequisites and peculiarities for my migration from Magneto to Shopify in a detailed manner. The app is very easy to use. The migration was smooth.

We migrated a large x-cart site to shopify. This was the only app that could help us migrate hundreds of thousands of orders and customers. They were extremely knowledgeable and responsive. They answered my questions quickly and accurately. The initial migration went smoothly with no errors. The final migration at launch (to bring in the newest orders and customers) went equally as well. Data security was also handled to my satisfaction. Definitely would recommend this app.

The only company I trust for migrating our websites. We migrated one basic and two plus accounts from Magento to Shopify. The help was amazing. Oleksander was a huge help in making sure everything was right. No reason to do it with any other company. Trust the best.

Migration for Shopify is exactly what I needed when making the huge decision to migrate my website. By reducing the time needed to import products and orders – I can now focus on design and other very important things to ensure a smooth cart to cart transition.
