Moving a store from OLX to Horoshop
Moving a store from OLX to Horoshop turns your listings into a full catalog with your own website, cart and payment. OLX remains a source of inquiries, while the website gathers products, prices and orders in one place, where the catalog does not depend on individual listings.
- a catalog from your listings: names, descriptions, photos, prices, product condition;
- similar listings merged into product cards with options;
- availability statuses and stock tracking in Horoshop;
- catalog sections created manually in the admin panel following the product structure;
- payment and delivery by Nova Poshta and Ukrposhta;
- SEO templates for page titles and buyers' search queries with the city name.
Why an OLX seller needs their own online store
A seller who searches for how to move from OLX to your own online store already sells through classified ads. Ads bring the first buyers well, but each item lives on its own: prices are changed by hand, and stock is kept in your head or in a spreadsheet. A store on Horoshop brings everything together in one catalog with filters, a cart, availability statuses and orders.
There is no old website with existing URLs, so no redirects are needed, and the main work is the catalog structure and the search queries of buyers.
Buyers from OLX often compare several offers in a row, so a website with up-to-date prices, photos and delivery terms helps show a serious approach to sales. For used and one-of-a-kind items, we show the condition, what is included and photos from different angles.
What the store launch for an OLX seller includes
- a product spreadsheet compiled from your ads, photos and price list;
- similar ads combined in one product card with variants;
- titles and descriptions rewritten for search queries;
- Horoshop sections, filters and specifications;
- availability statuses and stock tracking;
- payment, delivery by Nova Poshta and Ukrposhta, GA4 and Search Console;
- local optimization for queries that include the town name.
The website needs the original photos, because pictures taken from ads may have reduced quality. We check the marketplace rules on links and contact details in ads before the launch.
How we launch a store to replace your ads
- consultation and review of your ads;
- compiling the product spreadsheet and approving the sections;
- filling Horoshop with content and design;
- test orders, payment and delivery;
- launch, sitemap in Search Console, links to the website wherever the marketplace rules allow it.
From you, we need links to your ads or a price list, the original photos and stock information. Timelines depend on the number of items, and we fix them in the contract.
If you have many ads, we launch the store in two stages: the main categories first, then the rest of the range. We agree on each stage with you in advance.
Cost and launch terms
You can order a store on Horoshop from $500, and we estimate the preparation of the catalog from your ads after a free consultation. We fix the price in the contract, and the domain and admin panel belong to you. Local promotion is described on the "Local SEO" page, the migration process on the "Moving a store to Horoshop" page, and a consultation is available in the "Contacts" section.
Questions and answers
Do I need to delete my ads on OLX?
No, you can keep the ads: they keep bringing inquiries. You can add a link to the website in them if the marketplace rules allow it.
Can the ads be moved to the website automatically?
We collect the data from the ads into a spreadsheet, check it and upload it to Horoshop as a file. Titles, specifications and photos are adjusted by hand.
How many products are needed for the launch?
The main items are enough, and you add the rest after the launch. The product limit depends on the Horoshop plan.
Is the store suitable for used goods?
Yes, stock tracking and availability statuses help show whether an item is still available.
