Squarespace to Shopify migration

Build a Shopify store around the products and buying experience you already have in Squarespace. Norml maps your catalog, rebuilds the storefront, and checks how customers, orders, and connected services should be handled. We identify the details missing from exports before they become gaps on your new product pages.

What the migration covers

Squarespace product exports are useful inputs, but they do not contain every storefront detail. The scope separates catalog data, page design, and ongoing commerce operations.

Products and missing media details

We map product names, descriptions, SKUs, options, prices, and available images into Shopify. Squarespace’s product CSV leaves out details including variant images, image alt text, and additional product information. We inventory those gaps and agree how to restore the material your product pages need.

Customers, orders and reviews

Customer contacts and historical orders are inspected separately from the product catalog. We agree which records should be imported or retained in an accessible archive. Reviews require their own source and destination plan. Sample records are checked for customer associations, totals, and fulfillment status.

Shopify storefront and content

We build product templates, collections, navigation, and the supporting pages your customers use. Squarespace page layouts do not become Shopify theme sections. Policies, delivery information, size guides, and other product-support content are included in the agreed page inventory.

Checkout and store launch

Payment, shipping, notifications, analytics, and domain settings are configured for Shopify. Old product and content URLs get an explicit redirect map. Before cutover, we reconcile inventory and orders created after the initial export so ownership of outstanding work stays clear.

What we need before the move

Store access and product examples

Provide Squarespace access, original product assets, the Shopify destination, and domain ownership details. Include examples of products with several options, service products, and any digital or subscription offers.

Recurring and restricted products

Membership access, digital entitlements, subscription contracts, and stored payment methods need separate feasibility checks. An ordinary product import does not prove that billing or access behavior can continue unchanged.

How we prepare the move

  1. Check the commerce inventory

    Compare the export with live product pages and store operations. Agree the retained records, missing fields, required apps, and content that needs rebuilding.

  2. Review a sample storefront

    Import representative products and build their Shopify templates. Verify variants, images, price presentation, collection placement, and the supporting content shoppers need.

  3. Reconcile and switch

    Test the agreed checkout and fulfillment paths, review redirects, and reconcile the final data changes. Connect the domain and check purchase, notification, and product-link behavior on the public store.

Questions about the migration

Which product details need extra work?
Squarespace documents several CSV omissions, including variant images and additional product information. We compare the file with your store and plan the missing material separately. Digital products and recurring offers receive their own review.
Can old product URLs redirect?
We map the old paths to suitable Shopify destinations and test the redirects you can control. Shopify has its own URL structure, so keeping the domain does not by itself preserve every product address.
Can subscriptions and memberships move?
Only after the current provider, records, and destination tools have been checked. Product descriptions, recurring billing, and access permissions are distinct. We agree a supported transition rather than treating a catalog import as a subscription migration.
Share your current website, the features you rely on, and what needs to change. We will review the Shopify requirements and identify the content, rebuild work, and launch checks your move needs.
