Pre-Migration Steps
Before you start the migration process, make sure to prepare your Squarespace store data for a smooth transition to your new Shopify store. Export your products, customer information and order history into CSV files as these will be used during the import process on Shopify. Close any pending orders in your Squarespace store to avoid confusion or data discrepancy. Take the time to review your Squarespace site and decide what data and assets you want to bring to your new Shopify store and what you can leave behind. This will ensure your migration is efficient and your new Shopify store launches with all the data you need.
Migration Methods
When moving from Squarespace to Shopify you have two main migration options: manual import or using a migration service. Manual import involves exporting your store data from Squarespace as CSV files and then importing them into Shopify which requires attention to detail and can be time consuming especially for larger stores. Or you can use a migration service like LitExtension or Cart2Cart which automates the transfer of your store data, reduces the risk of errors and save you time. These services are designed to handle the complexity of the migration process, so your products, customers and order data will be moved from Squarespace to Shopify accurately and efficiently.
Our Service Offerings
Data Export and Import
When you export from Squarespace, only products are included and some data types like gift cards or digital products may not be exported. Some content is exported as an XML file during this process. If your export doesn’t include all the data you need, manual migration may be required and you’ll need to enter some data manually.
We export your Squarespace data including products, customers and orders into CSV or XML files as applicable. Our team then import the data into Shopify, fix any data failed issues and ensure existing data is preserved and mapped correctly. We also import customers using the right tools to make the transition smooth.
Domain Management
Our experts will ensure your domain is domain unlocked on Squarespace before we get the authorization code (transfer key) and guide you through the domain transfer process. We also help verify your domain and update your domain’s dns settings to Shopify’s servers so your new domain provider setup is perfect. Updating your website’s domain ensures the redirect to your new Shopify store.Store Setup and Customization
When setting up your new store on Shopify we will guide you through every step to make the transition smooth. From choosing the right store theme—which is crucial for the first impression and your brand—to customizing your store layout and navigation we will make sure your new Shopify store looks like your brand. As part of the setup process we will help you choose and configure a theme from the Shopify theme store to make your store look good and successful. We will configure payment gateways including Apple Pay and Shopify Payments and set up shipping options according to your business needs.
Customer Data Migration
To export your customer data before importing it into Shopify you need to log into your Squarespace account first.
We import your customer data securely using the customer importer tools and comply with data protection regulations. Our team will verify the imported customer data to keep your customer relationships intact.
App Integrations and Customization
One of the best things about Shopify is its massive app ecosystem and customization options. The Shopify App Store has thousands of apps that can help with every aspect of your store from marketing and inventory to customer support and analytics. Shopify themes are highly customizable so you can create a unique look and feel that matches your brand. With access to Shopify’s liquid code, developers can build custom themes and templates giving you full control over your store’s design and functionality. Whether you want to automate tasks, improve customer engagement or streamline inventory management, Shopify has the tools and flexibility to help your online business thrive.
Search Engine Optimization
Shopify has built in search engine optimization (SEO) features to help your online store rank better in search results. The platform applies essential SEO best practices to your product listings and you can customize meta tags, titles and descriptions for each page. Shopify’s clean URL structure and 301 redirect functionality helps preserve your search engine rankings and prevent traffic loss during migration. By using Shopify’s SEO tools you can improve your store’s search engine performance, get more visitors and ultimately drive more sales for your ecommerce business.
Post-Migration Optimization
After migration we will help optimize your store for SEO to improve visibility in search engines by setting up customizable meta tags and making sure your content is search engine friendly. We will also configure analytics tools to monitor your online store’s performance and provide ongoing support.
