How to Manually Migrate Shopify to Squarespace
Migrating from Shopify to Squarespace manually isn’t just about moving data, it’s about reconstructing your storefront, SEO, and user experience inside a platform that works differently under the hood. If you want full control and are okay getting your hands dirty, here’s your real roadmap:Prepare to Deconstruct Your Shopify Store
Before you touch Squarespace, start by breaking down your Shopify site into its essential parts. You’re reverse-engineering what you built so you can rebuild it in Squarespace, not everything will transfer 1:1.- Export your Shopify products via CSV.
- Back up your blog posts (manual copy/paste or via RSS or Shopify API).
- Download all images and digital assets.
- List all URLs (use Screaming Frog or export from Google Search Console).
- Note any custom functionality (filters, subscriptions, custom apps, multilingual setups).
Set Up Your Squarespace Framework
Now that you know what you’re migrating, set up the skeleton on Squarespace.- Choose a flexible template that supports product pages, blog layouts, and some custom styling. Don’t aim for an exact replica of your Shopify design, match brand elements and UX.
- Set up essential pages: homepage, about, contact, FAQs, legal pages.
- Create placeholder categories (aka “Product Categories”) to match your Shopify collections.
- Prepare a product inventory space under Commerce > Inventory.
- Recreate your navigation menus to mirror Shopify’s structure, but be open to streamlining.
Manually Migrate Products
This is the most technical part:- Open your exported Shopify CSV.
- Reformat it to fit Squarespace’s product CSV structure:
- Squarespace doesn’t support Shopify’s variant logic, flatten options.
- Remove unsupported fields like metafields, compare-at prices, or automation tags.
- Update image URLs or prepare to re-upload them manually in the product editor.
- Each product has a clean URL slug.
- Categories are correctly assigned.
- Descriptions are properly formatted (Squarespace prefers clean HTML or Markdown).
- Inventory and price fields are filled.
Move Pages and Blogs
There’s no automated importer for Shopify pages or blogs into Squarespace, so this is where manual labor comes in:- Copy each page’s content into new Squarespace pages.
- Re-upload images instead of hotlinking to Shopify URLs.
- Manually recreate formatting, CTA buttons, forms, and links.
- For blog posts, create a new blog section in Squarespace and repost each entry individually. Keep original publish dates, authors, and tags when possible.
Rebuild SEO and URL Structure
Your URLs and metadata are a huge part of your site’s SEO equity. Messing this up means risking traffic drops, possibly fatal ones if you rank well on Google:- Use your earlier list of Shopify URLs to map them to new Squarespace equivalents.
- /old-shopify-url -> /new-squarespace-url
- Recreate SEO titles and meta descriptions for every page and product.
- Add alt text to every image you re-upload.
- Resubmit your sitemap to Google Search Console once live.
Set Up Payments, Taxes, and Shipping
Shopify’s eCommerce engine is robust. Squarespace’s is simpler. Expect to rebuild these settings manually.- Connect Stripe, PayPal, or Afterpay under Commerce > Payments.
- Set shipping rules and zones under Commerce > Shipping.
- Configure tax settings manually based on your business location.
Final Checks and Launch
Before going live, go into QA mode.- Click through every link on your new site.
- Add test products to cart and walk through checkout.
- Use Screaming Frog or a broken link checker to find missing assets or redirect issues.
- Check on mobile and tablet layout bugs happen.
- Set up Google Analytics 4, Search Console, and any marketing pixels again (you’re starting fresh here).
- Point your domain’s DNS to Squarespace (or transfer it if you prefer an all-in-one setup).
- Monitor traffic, conversions, and search rankings over the next 2–4 weeks.
- Keep your Shopify account active during this buffer, in case you missed something or need to recover data.

Frequently Asked Questions for Shopify to Squarespace Migration
Not seeing your question listed here? Contact Us for the quickest answer.
Can I update or delete orders after transferring from my existing business to Squarespace?
No, you cannot edit or delete orders after transferring them to Squarespace. The platform does not allow modifications or deletions of order details. This restriction applies to orders transferred from an existing business during migration. If there are any errors or changes needed, they cannot be directly edited or removed on Squarespace after the migration process. So you need to check your orders carefully before migration with LitExtension.
Is Squarespace suitable for eCommerce like Shopify?
Yes, Squarespace provides robust eCommerce features, including inventory management, payment processing, and analytics. However, it’s ideal for smaller stores or those focusing on content-rich marketing.
Can I change customer data on Squarespace after migration?
No, you cannot change customer data on Squarespace after migration. Because customer data is exported from Orders, if your Orders are wrong after migration, it is impossible to update the incorrect customer information.
How to connect Shopify to Squarespace domain?
- Unlock your domain in Shopify’s settings.
- Get the Authorization Code from Shopify.
- In Squarespace, go to Settings > Domains and click Use a Domain I Own.
- Enter your domain and follow the prompts to transfer it.
- Enter the Authorization Code when prompted.
- Complete the transfer process and wait for the domain to be fully moved.
How is new data handled if it’s added to my Shopify store while migration is in progress?
If additional orders, products, or customers are added after your migration has started, our Recent Data Migration service allows you to transfer them. This service remains valid for 60 days from the start of an Automated Migration or 30 days after completing an All-in-One Migration. To extend this service beyond the designated period, you may opt for our Premium Support Service or reach out for further assistance.
Is it possible to transfer customer credit card information from Shopify to Squarespace?
For security purposes, LitExtension’s Shopify to Squarespace migration does not transfer credit card information between carts. However, it does support transferring customer details. For details, please see What Data Can Be Migrated From Shopify to Squarespace.
Will my Shopify store remain operational during migration?
Your Shopify store will not be affected during migration. Our advanced migration tool operates without downtime, ensuring continuous business operations while data transfers to Squarespace. After completion, you’ll have the chance to verify the migration results before transitioning.
Can LitExtension help me import products directly into my Squarespace admin panel?
Yes, absolutely! LitExtension can seamlessly migrate your product data, including details like names, descriptions, images, prices, and variants, directly from your Shopify store into your Squarespace platform. You won’t need to manually re-enter all that information in your Squarespace admin panel.
Does LitExtension offer a free trial or a way for me to test the migration of a few products before committing to a full transfer?
We offer a free trial/demo migration option. This allows you to migrate a number of 20 products or other data to your Squarespace store, see how the process works, and verify the accuracy of the transferred information before proceeding with a full migration.
Will my customer passwords be migrated from Shopify to Squarespace?
Due to security differences between platforms, customer passwords cannot be directly transferred from Shopify to Squarespace. However, once the migration is complete, your customers can easily reset their passwords to access their accounts on the new platform.
Can I migrate Style or CSS to Squarespace?
No, you can’t migrate Style or CSS to Squarespace. Squarespace uses its own styles and design templates, so you can’t import your custom CSS from your old site. However, you can customize your Squarespace site’s design using the Site styles panel.
Should I switch to Shopify from Squarespace?
Switching from Squarespace to Shopify may be a good choice if your focus is on growing an eCommerce store. Shopify offers advanced eCommerce features, better scalability, and extensive app integrations, making it ideal for larger or more complex online stores. However, Squarespace is more suited for content-heavy websites with simpler eCommerce needs. Consider your business goals, the size of your store, and the specific features you need before making the switch.
Can I import all of my Shopify website content to Squarespace?
No, you cannot import all of your website content from the Shopify site to Squarespace. Due to the peculiarity of Squarespace, we are limited in the types of data we can migrate. However, please Contact Us if you have any custom requirements for your migration to Squarespace.
What should I do if I encounter issues after migrating from Shopify to Squarespace?
LitExtension provides comprehensive migration solutions and 24/7 support. We offer 60 days of free updates, including free Re-migrations, Recent Migrations, and Smart Updates. If you encounter any errors or are not satisfied within 30 days, you may request a refund in accordance with our refund policy.
How is my data secured during the migration from Shopify to Squarespace?
Your information security drives every aspect of our migration service. Operating from Linode servers in the USA, Europe, Australia, and Singapore, we implement rigorous HTTPS and 128-bit SSL encryption protocols. We maintain a zero-retention policy for your data.
For specialized migrations, only qualified LitExtension technicians access source code. Our operations are fully GDPR-compliant, and our ironclad NDA ensures all credentials and import records are completely purged once your migration is finished.
What will happen to my Shopify store after migration?
Your Shopify store continues to function normally throughout the migration process. We leave your Shopify store completely untouched, allowing you to maintain business as usual until you’re confident in your new Squarespace store. After verifying the successful migration, you’ll have the flexibility to maintain, archive, or shut down your original Shopify store.
I see the option to select Shopify as a source cart with LitExtension. Does this mean I need special access to my Shopify admin to connect it for the migration?
We require specific access credentials or an API key from your Shopify admin to securely connect and retrieve your store data. Our setup wizard will walk you through the steps required to grant us the necessary permissions after you select Shopify as your source shopping cart.
Besides product data, can LitExtension also migrate other content that I manage within my Shopify admin to my Squarespace content management system?
Yes, LitExtension supports the migration of various data types beyond just products. While the primary focus is on e-commerce data, we can transfer other content managed within your Shopify admin. Please contact us for a consultation, and we will provide you with a solution and quote.
