Limited export. Squarespace exports products to CSV and content to a partial WordPress-format XML — usable, but the catalog needs normalising into Shopify's model, not a raw dump.
Squarespace → Shopify migration
Migrate Squarespace to Shopify without losing rankings.
A complete Squarespace → Shopify migration for stores that need real ecommerce: catalog and customers moved, 1:1 redirects from Squarespace's /shop/p/ URLs, SEO preserved, and a Shopify storefront with the apps, variants and checkout control Squarespace Commerce lacks.

Why Squarespace exits stall
What to plan for leaving Squarespace.
Squarespace is design-led but commerce-limited and semi-closed. Five things that decide a clean migration:
02 ◆
URL structure. Squarespace uses /shop/p/[id]-style product URLs and /shop/ collections; a 1:1 redirect map to Shopify's /products/[handle] is essential to keep rankings.
03 ◆
Product variants. Squarespace variant handling is basic; mapping cleanly to Shopify variants (and fixing SKUs/inventory) is manual care, not an automated tool.
04 ◆
Member areas / scheduling. Squarespace Member Areas, Acuity scheduling, or courses need deliberate Shopify equivalents (apps or custom).
05 ◆
SEO + content. Page meta, blog posts and 301s configured in Squarespace must be extracted and re-applied; they don't transfer automatically.
Migration scope
What I migrate.
In scope by default; trimmed to fit on the scope call:
- ◆ Catalog — products, variants, images, prices, inventory normalised onto Shopify from Squarespace's CSV export.
- ◆ Customers — migrated with a branded account-setup email at launch.
- ◆ Content — blog/pages migrated where you want them kept, with redirects.
- ◆ Redirects — 1:1 map from /shop/p/ and content URLs to Shopify equivalents, audited for top pages.
- ◆ SEO — meta, alt text, canonicals re-applied; sitemap regenerated; Search Console resubmission.
- ◆ Storefront — custom Shopify theme that keeps Squarespace's design strengths while adding real commerce.
- ◆ Feature parity — scheduling/members/courses mapped to the right Shopify app or custom build.
- ◆ Apps + integrations — email, analytics, payment, shipping reconnected; 30-60 day monitoring.

Process
How a typical project ships.
01
Discovery + audit
Read of your current store — platform version, catalog size, top traffic URLs, apps/plugins, integration surface. Output: a migration spec doc with the data model and SEO-preservation plan.
02
Sandbox migration
Build the new Shopify on a development store, migrate test data, validate the catalog, design the theme. You see working pages by week 2; your current store stays live.
03
Cutover plan
A written cutover plan — rollback procedure, DNS schedule, redirect deployment, Search Console resubmission. Cutover runs in a low-traffic window.
04
Monitor + recover
Daily rankings + organic-sessions monitoring for 30-60 days. Recovery report with charts; redirects and on-page SEO adjusted as needed.
FAQ
Squarespace migration FAQs.
No fluff — the specifics buyers want before booking a call. If yours isn't here, ask on the call.
Will my rankings survive the move?
With a 1:1 redirect map from Squarespace's /shop/p/ and content URLs to the new Shopify URLs, yes — a short dip then recovery by week 6-8. The redirect map is the deliverable that protects your traffic.
Can you keep my Squarespace blog and pages?
Yes — Squarespace exports content to a partial WordPress-format XML, so blog posts and pages migrate (with redirects). We decide what's worth keeping vs. rebuilding cleaner on Shopify.
Why leave Squarespace for Shopify?
Move when commerce limits bite — basic variants, limited apps, checkout you can't customise, weaker inventory and scaling. Squarespace's design tooling is genuinely good; if you're a small store that loves the editor, I'll tell you if staying is the smarter call.

Extremely patient and extremely professional. And the result is amazing! Highly recommended!
★★★★★
Great experience overall. The cost estimation calculator works well for our B2B needs and does exactly what we discussed. It's simple to use, and the logic behind the calculations is solid. There were a couple of small tweaks needed after delivery, but the seller was quick to respond and fixed everything.
