Squarespace to Shopify migration service.

What you get

• Products, including variants and their prices, SKUs, stock and weights, converted for Shopify.
• Images re-hosted, with order and alt text kept as far as Squarespace holds them.
• Categories and tags turned into collections and tags.
• Customers and, optionally, order history, plus mailing-list contacts where you hold consent.
• Blog posts and pages that matter for search.
• A 301 redirect file and a QA report.

How it works

1. You export products (and orders, if wanted) from Squarespace and send them to us.
2. We review, quote at a fixed price and send the field map.
3. Our AI engine builds the Shopify files; a person checks every output.
4. We load an unpublished Shopify store through a staff account for your review.
5. You approve, we load redirects, you repoint DNS, and we check after launch.

What Squarespace data looks like

Squarespace exports carry presentation-led content and light structure, so the mapping differs from the other sources.

Digital downloads and gift cards need re-creating on Shopify. We list each one so nothing is missed.

URLs and redirects

Squarespace product URLs sit under the store page with a /p/ segment, for example /shop/p/linen-throw-grey. The first segment depends on what your store page is called, so some sites use /store/p/ instead. Blog posts are normally under /blog/, and category pages follow the store page path. We crawl the live site to read your actual pattern. On Shopify the targets are /products/, /collections/ or /blogs/news/.

Redirect from,Redirect to
/shop/p/linen-throw-grey,/products/linen-throw-grey
/shop/throws,/collections/throws
/blog/spring-styling-tips,/blogs/news/spring-styling-tips

Squarespace slugs sometimes carry a random suffix on duplicated products, so the old slug is not always the handle you would pick. Our mapping covers those cases. See the redirect guide.

SEO protection

• Crawl and Search Console review before launch.
• Titles and descriptions carried over; Squarespace SEO fields mapped to Shopify's.
• Blog posts retained with publish dates where the import allows.
• Sitemap resubmitted after the DNS change.
• Redirects tested against a sample of top pages and monitored for 404s.

What we do not do

We do not rebuild your Squarespace design in a Shopify theme, and we do not write custom apps. Squarespace sites tend to be designed carefully, so a designer is worth it. We can recommend one.

Your blog and content pages

Many Squarespace sites earn their traffic from the blog, so decide what to do with it early. Posts can move into a Shopify blog with images and dates, and each old URL gets a redirect. Squarespace page layouts and galleries do not transfer, so key pages such as About, delivery and FAQs move as text and are laid out again in the new theme. Low-value pages are best retired with a redirect to a related page, not left to return a 404. We help you sort pages into move, merge or retire using Search Console data.

Domain and cutover

Your domain can stay registered at Squarespace and be repointed to Shopify, or you can transfer it to Shopify or another registrar. Transfers can take days and need an authorisation code from your current registrar, so start that early and keep the site working until it completes. We schedule redirects and DNS together. Your Squarespace store keeps selling until the switch, and we pick a quiet day.

Timeline factors

What moves the schedule: variant complexity, blog size, number of pages, order import, digital or subscription items, and how fast you approve the map and the unpublished store.

Pricing

The fixed quote comes after file inspection. See pricing and store migration.

Is this a fit?

It suits Squarespace sellers whose catalog and order volume are beyond what the platform does well, and who want to keep their search traffic. Under thirty products, a self-service import is feasible. If your site is a portfolio with a small shop, check whether you should keep it as it is.
