Moving a store from Wix to Horoshop

Moving a store from Wix to Horoshop takes your online store off a website builder, where the catalog, design and URLs are tied to the editor, and onto a platform with a full-featured catalog, filters and SEO settings. Page content and URLs move according to a URL mapping.

  • products, prices, options and photos from the Wix Stores CSV export;
  • we create categories in the Horoshop admin panel and build filters based on attributes;
  • /product-page/… and /category/… URLs get redirects;
  • pages about the company and delivery, along with blog articles, become information pages;
  • the domain is pointed to Horoshop with DNS records, and if it was bought through Wix, we help with access;
  • we build the design from scratch in the Horoshop editor.

How the move from Wix to Horoshop works

Owners who search for moving an online store from Wix to Horoshop have usually outgrown the builder: the product range has grown, and they need flexible filters, attributes and SEO templates for groups of pages. On Horoshop, these tools are built into the admin panel.

Wix exports data as a CSV file with products plus separate exports of orders and contacts. The URLs are standard: /product-page/name for products, /category/name for categories, /post/name for articles. We take the list of URLs from the sitemap that Wix generates automatically and match it against Search Console data.

What we move from Wix and what we rebuild

  • products with prices, SKUs and descriptions – imported from Excel after preparing the CSV;
  • we recreate categories and subcategories manually in the Horoshop admin panel;
  • product options become product variants, and technical parameters become attributes for filters;
  • SEO titles and descriptions of pages that already perform in search;
  • blog articles and pages with information for buyers;
  • we create the design completely from scratch because a Wix template cannot be exported.

We export the order history and customer contacts as spreadsheets and keep them in an archive for you. The domain is often bought from Wix, so we check in advance who owns it and how to change the DNS.

How we work and what we need from you

  1. an audit of the catalog, design and URLs that bring visitors;
  2. a URL mapping and the URL format;
  3. creation of sections, import, filters;
  4. design in the Horoshop editor, payments, delivery, feeds;
  5. a test order, the DNS change, monitoring of indexing.

We need access to the Wix panel, a product export, access to the domain, Search Console and Analytics. The timeline depends on the catalog size and the complexity of the design, and we name it after the audit.

Cost and terms of moving from Wix

We determine the cost after a free consultation and audit, and the contract records the terms and the fixed price. The domain and admin panel belong to you, and you pay the Horoshop plan separately. The general approach is described on the page "Migration from other platforms to Horoshop", launching a new store from scratch – on the page "Online store development and launch", and you can book a consultation via contacts.

Questions and answers

Can the Wix design be moved?

A builder design cannot be exported, so we create a new one in the Horoshop editor and keep your colors, logo and the structure of the main blocks.

What should I do with a domain bought from Wix?

First we find out where the domain is registered and who has access to it. Then we point the DNS to Horoshop and, if you wish, transfer the domain to another registrar.

Will the traffic from Wix pages be preserved?

Wix URLs have their own prefixes, so we set up 301 redirects from them to the new pages. Traffic levels may change after the move, and we monitor the Search Console reports.

How many products can be moved?

The number is limited by the Horoshop plan, so we compare the catalog size with the plan limits during the audit.
