Moving a store from uCoz to Horoshop

Moving a store from uCoz to Horoshop takes your online store off a website builder and onto a platform built for e-commerce, where the catalog, cart, payments and delivery live in one admin panel. We prepare the transition from the old pages to the new ones so that visitors from search find the same products.

  • products, categories, photos, prices and descriptions from the online store module;
  • catalog sections created manually in the Horoshop admin panel;
  • information pages, news and articles as text pages;
  • a URL mapping and 301 redirects from the old structure;
  • title, description and H1 based on SEO templates;
  • payments, delivery and analytics connected by launch.

Why stores move from uCoz to Horoshop

The search move an online store from uCoz to Horoshop comes up when the builder has become too tight for selling: you need a convenient cart, online payments, Nova Poshta delivery, filters and exports to marketplaces. Horoshop is built for online retail, and these features come standard there.

URLs on uCoz follow their own structure of modules and sections, so our first step is to find out which pages bring visitors from search. They get priority in the redirect plan.

Stores on website builders grow gradually: first a few products, then new sections, promotions and a blog. As a result, the structure is often chaotic, and we organize it around buyers' search queries instead of copying it word for word. We merge rarely viewed information pages so that the new store has no unnecessary sections.

What moving a store from uCoz includes

  • products, categories, photos, prices and descriptions from the store module;
  • attributes and options, such as size or color, as Horoshop product variants;
  • information pages, news and articles;
  • a URL map and 301 redirects;
  • titles and descriptions based on SEO templates;
  • a new menu and catalog filters;
  • payments, delivery, analytics.

We create catalog sections manually in the Horoshop admin panel. If the store runs on a subdomain of the builder itself, we discuss the address and redirect options during the audit: they depend on the uCoz settings.

How we move a store from uCoz

  1. consultation and an audit of URLs, modules and products;
  2. export of data from the store module or collection from the pages with your consent;
  3. creation of sections and filling the catalog;
  4. design and test orders;
  5. launch, redirects, sitemap in Search Console.

We need access to the uCoz panel, the domain and analytics. Timelines depend on the number of products, and we name them after the audit. The old store keeps working until the switchover day, and you check the new one on a temporary address: product pages, prices and checkout.

Cost and terms of the migration

A store on Horoshop starts from $500. The cost of moving from uCoz depends on the number of products, the data format and the URL structure, so we calculate it after a free consultation. The contract fixes the price and timelines, and the domain and admin panel remain yours. The general approach is described on the pages "Moving a store to Horoshop" and "Migration from other platforms", and you can book a consultation on the "Contacts" page.

Questions and answers

Will I keep my domain?

Yes, the domain stays yours. We switch it to Horoshop on launch day if it is registered to you.

Can products be moved from the uCoz store module?

Yes, we export them from the module or collect them from the store pages, clean the data and upload it as a file.

What happens to articles and news?

We move articles, news and information pages as Horoshop text pages. We merge outdated ones and set up redirects for them.

How long does the migration take?

The timeline depends on the number of products and the quality of the data. After the audit, we name it and write it into the contract.
