Switch from Squarespace to Shopify – Manual Online Store Migration

Hi, I’m Paul from SiteBuilders.PRO

Thinking of moving your online store from Squarespace to Shopify? I specialize in manual eCommerce migrations: no automated imports, no shortcuts. I rebuild your entire site by hand: product pages, collections, images, styling, and layout are all recreated with precision. Whether you’re upgrading for better scalability, more advanced eCommerce tools, or third-party integrations, I’ll make sure the move is smooth, accurate, and fully aligned with your brand.

Why Move to Shopify?

  • Scalability – Whether you’re managing 20 products or 20,000, it delivers the speed, stability, and tools you need to scale without friction.
  • Checkout and Payments Done Right – Shopify’s checkout is secure, streamlined, and designed to convert, straight out of the box.
  • Apps That Actually Work – Shopify’s app ecosystem is extensive, and most plugins are well-maintained and built to grow your store.
  • Centralized Control for Inventory, Orders, and Customers – Shopify makes it easy to fulfill orders, track inventory, segment customer groups, and run campaigns all from a single interface.

    Why Choose My Service?

    Migrating to Shopify isn’t just about getting your content over, it’s about rebuilding your store for growth. My approach is fully manual, precise, and focused on eCommerce performance.

    End-to-End Migration, Fully Managed by a Me

    You send me your Squarespace site and I handle the rest. I manually rebuild your store inside Shopify: replicating the layout, rebuilding product pages, structuring collections, and setting up Shopify-native tools. You won’t need to touch the backend or figure out app settings.

    Built with Shopify’s Strengths in Mind

    Your new site won’t just “match” the old one – it will be better. I structure it for performance, organize your products for easy browsing, ensure mobile responsiveness, and optimize the user experience for conversions.

    SEO That Carries Over

    I preserve your existing SEO structure where possible: meta titles, descriptions, clean URLs, alt tags, and page hierarchy. Your store won’t lose visibility just because you’ve changed platforms.

    No Outsourcing, No Guesswork

    You’re not hiring an agency. You’re working directly with me – a specialist who’s done dozens of real-world migrations. I’ll answer your questions, walk you through decisions, and make sure everything goes live exactly as it should.

    Flat-Rate Pricing, No Upsells

    You’ll get a clear, fixed quote before the work begins. No hidden fees. No vague estimates. No sudden “project scope changes.” Just straight-up, honest pricing.

    Rebuilt by Hand, Line by Line

    Everything from your homepage to your last product variation is manually recreated in Shopify. This ensures nothing breaks, nothing looks off, and everything works exactly how your customers expect.

    How the Migration Works

    Switching from Shopify? I handle the entire process manually, no automation, no risky shortcuts; with full attention to structure, design, and functionality. Here’s what the process looks like:

    Free Consultation — No Pressure

    We’ll start with a email exchange. You tell me about your current Squarespace store: your products, pages, goals and I’ll walk you through what the move to Shopify would involve. You’ll get a clear picture of benefits, trade-offs, and what to expect.

    Fixed Quote, No Surprises

    Once I’ve reviewed your site, I’ll send you a flat-rate quote based on your store’s size and complexity. No vague hourly estimates, no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and why.

    Shopify Setup & Structural Preview

    Before any content is moved, I’ll build out the basic structure of your new Shopify store: site layout, navigation, demo products, and key design elements. This gives you a working preview of your future store’s flow before we migrate everything.

    Full Manual Rebuild — Page by Page

    Every part of your Squarespace site — product data, pages, collections, images, descriptions, blog posts, and SEO elements — is rebuilt by hand inside Shopify. I make sure it all works natively within the Shopify system and loads fast, on all devices.

    Final Review & Launch

    You get to review the finished site before launch. I’ll make final tweaks, help connect your domain, and make sure everything is running smoothly. You only pay when the store is live and you’re 100% satisfied.

      “Squarespace held us back as we grew. Paul migrated our whole storefront to Shopify — products, collections, design elements and finally gave us the freedom to scale. The new site loads quicker, checkout is smoother, and sales are already up.”
      — Natalie S., Eco Goods Store Owner
      JasonM
      “I needed a stronger backend and real control. Squarespace was fine at first, but managing complex inventory and order workflows became frustrating. Paul rebuilt everything in Shopify, exactly as I envisioned. It was the right move.”
      — Jason M., Streetwear Brand Founder
      RachelK
      “Detail-focused and easy to work with. My Squarespace site looked great but wasn’t practical for managing customizable products. Mr. Viatkin rebuilt it from the ground up on Shopify and now it's both beautiful and functional.”
      — Rachel K., Custom Print Studio Owner
      DerrickV
      “Smooth process from start to finish. I just sent to Sitebuilders my Squarespace URL and they took care of the rest. Product pages, categories, SEO, payment setup and all done without stress or downtime.”
      — Derrick V., Supplements Store Manager

      FAQ

      A: It depends on your store’s size, complexity, and growth goals.

      If you’re scaling: more products, more orders, more automation, then Shopify is often the smarter long-term choice. It’s built specifically for eCommerce:

      • Better inventory and order management
      • Faster, more optimized checkout
      • Advanced shipping logic
      • Deep app integrations
      • Robust reporting and analytics
      That said, Squarespace still works well for smaller stores. It’s easy to use, visually flexible, and includes many built-in features. If you’re running a lean shop without complex product logic, third-party apps, or custom flows, Squarespace can be enough — until it’s not.

      Want to dive deeper?Still not sure?
      Send me a message with your current Squarespace store URL. I’ll review it and give you honest, no-pressure advice on whether Shopify is right for you.
      A: Most migrations are completed within 5–10 business days, depending on your Squarespace store’s size and complexity.

      Estimated timelines:
      • Small stores (up to 15 products): 4–5 business days
      • Medium stores (20–50 products): ~7 business days
      • Large stores (100+ products or blog content): ~10 business days
      The process includes:
      • Manual transfer of all products, categories, and page content
      • Rebuilding your site’s layout and navigation inside Shopify
      • Recreation of forms, buttons, and key features
      • SEO setup: page titles, meta descriptions, alt tags, and clean URLs
      • Connecting your domain and testing before launch
      If your Squarespace store includes custom features like subscriptions, member areas, bookings, or third-party code, I’ll suggest native Shopify alternatives or custom solutions to ensure nothing important gets left behind.
      A: Yes — the goal is to closely replicate your existing design, layout, and key features while taking full advantage of Shopify’s more robust eCommerce engine.

      Since I rebuild your store manually, I ensure that:
      • Your branding and visual identity are preserved
      • Product pages, collections, menus, and contact forms work as expected
      • The user experience feels consistent, just faster and more scalable
      Some Squarespace-specific elements, such as animations, booking tools, or visual effects may require Shopify-native alternatives or minor adjustments. I’ll walk you through any such differences before migration begins, so you’ll know exactly what to expect and how it will perform on Shopify.
      A: Absolutely – Shopify is designed for business owners, not developers.

      Once your store is migrated from Squarespace, you’ll have full control without needing technical skills. You can easily:
      • Add or update products, prices, and stock levels
      • Change images, descriptions, and SEO fields
      • Edit pages and layouts with Shopify’s built-in theme editor
      • Manage orders, shipping, discounts, and customer data from one clean dashboard
      • Use built-in tools for email marketing, analytics, and SEO
      You won’t have to deal with plugin updates, server issues, or hidden technical hurdles — Shopify handles hosting, security, and performance for you.

      And yes, you’ll keep your current domain name. I’ll handle all the DNS adjustments and make sure your domain points to the new Shopify site smoothly, with zero downtime.
      A: No, the migration is carefully handled to preserve your content and protect your SEO performance.

      All key content from your Squarespace store, including products, pages, blog posts, images, and categories, is manually rebuilt in Shopify to ensure accuracy and consistency.

      To maintain your search visibility, I also:
      • Recreate SEO metadata (titles, descriptions, image alt tags)
      • Use clean, readable URLs
      • Set up 301 redirects for all existing pages (where needed)
      • Preserve your site structure and internal linking
      If your current store is already ranking well on Google, I take extra care to avoid indexing drops or broken links. The goal is a smooth platform transition that retains your visibility and performance in search.
