Search rankings survive the move
A URL inventory and a redirect plan protect the pages that already earn traffic, which is the part a migration most often loses.
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.
A few clients we’ve worked with
What we do
Move Squarespace commerce to Shopify with catalog mapping, storefront rebuilding, customer-data checks, redirects, and checkout testing.
What a migration actually moves.
Moving a site changes more than where the files live. It moves your URLs, your search history and every integration pointed at the old address.
Nothing is left behind
Content, media, forms and integrations are inventoried before anything moves, so the gaps are found before your customers find them.
There is a way back
A backup, verification checks and a rollback approach turn a bad launch into an inconvenience instead of an outage.
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.
Client reviews
Read our reviews on Clutch ↗“Norml Studio's professionalism and responsiveness were impressive.”
“They were proactive in suggesting improvements we hadn't considered.”
“They delivered what they said they would, on time.”
“They focused on how to make our daily operations easier, not just on building features for the sake of it.”
“They understood that the app needed to be practical for someone sitting in a car, not just look good on a desktop.”
“Their level of dedication to the success of the project and GoPetZen's business as a whole is unique.”
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
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.
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.
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.

Let's chat
“I've spent 10 years working across development and marketing. I started as a developer, but design, SEO and advertising were already part of the job. That taught me to treat a website as one system: the business, the content, the design and the code have to work together. At Norml, I lead the architecture behind our work and stay involved wherever strategy, design, development and search meet.”

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.
