Squarespace to Shopify
Migration
Graduate from a website builder to a real commerce engine. Keep the design polish, gain every feature serious D2C needs.
The four reasons we hear every week.
Commerce features built for hobbyists
Squarespace Commerce is brilliant for a gallery-quality site. But serious D2C needs: advanced discounts, bundles, subscriptions, abandoned cart on every plan, product personalization, B2B. Most of these are limited or absent on Squarespace.
Checkout and payment restrictions
Squarespace locks you into Stripe, PayPal, or Square. No alternate gateways, no Shop Pay, no custom checkout logic. In regions where local payment methods drive conversion, this is a 5–15% revenue tax.
Limited third-party app ecosystem
Squarespace has no real app store. Integrations happen via code injection, Zapier, or email-based workflows. Shopify has 8,000+ apps covering every commerce workflow you'll ever need.
Product catalog and variant limits
Squarespace caps variants at 100 per product and has limited support for complex product relationships (bundles, grouped, configurable). Once you outgrow this, you've outgrown Squarespace.
Nothing gets left behind.
A real migration is more than products and orders. We preserve the long tail — redirects, meta tags, customer data, historical orders — so your team wakes up on launch day to a faster store, not a broken one.
Every Squarespace object is mapped to its Shopify equivalent during the audit phase. You sign off on the mapping before we touch production.
- Products, variants, SKUs and inventory levels
- Product images, alt tags, descriptions and metafields
- Collections, categories and navigation structure
- Customers, order history and saved addresses
- Historical orders with line items and fulfilment status
- Discounts, gift cards and loyalty balances
- SEO: URL redirects (301s), meta tags and structured data
- Blog posts, pages and static content
The practical differences.
How a Squarespace to Shopify migration actually runs.
Data audit
We inventory every entity in your current store — products, customers, orders, URLs — and map them 1:1 to Shopify objects. You get a complete migration blueprint before any work starts.
Staged import
We import everything into a Shopify development store. No production impact. You validate the data, we fix gaps, we sign off together.
Headless build
While the data migration runs, we build your new Next.js storefront connected via the Shopify Storefront API. Design, components, performance — all production-grade.
SEO cutover
301 redirects from every old URL to the new one. XML sitemap, schema markup, canonicals. Search rankings stay intact.
Zero-downtime launch
DNS change at a low-traffic window. Your old store stays online until the new one is live and verified. If anything goes wrong, rollback is a DNS flip.
30-day support
We stay on-call for the first month. Bugs, tweaks, analytics questions — covered.
