shopify migration wix uk

Outgrowing Wix is a sign your business is moving in the right direction. The problem is that Wix was built for simplicity, not scale — and at some point, limited checkout flexibility, weak inventory management, and a ceiling on app integrations start costing you revenue. Moving to Shopify gives UK retailers a platform built specifically for growth. By Design UK, registered in Enfield EN3 7LW and reachable on 020 3951 4908, handles Wix to Shopify migrations end-to-end, from data transfer to launch-ready design.

What Does a Wix to Shopify Migration Actually Involve?

A proper migration covers far more than copying products across. Our process includes exporting and restructuring your product catalogue, recreating collections and navigation in Shopify, mapping every existing Wix URL to a corresponding Shopify URL with 301 redirects, transferring page content and blog posts, and configuring your payment gateway, shipping zones, and tax settings for the UK market. We also rebuild or redesign your storefront using a Shopify theme that reflects your brand, ensuring the new store looks and performs better than what you had on Wix.

How Much Does It Cost to Move From Wix to Shopify?

Our Shopify builds start from £499 for straightforward stores and scale up to £18,999 for fully custom builds with bespoke functionality, advanced integrations, or multi-currency setups. The cost of your migration depends on how many products you have, whether you need a custom theme or a configured premium theme, and the level of post-launch support required. We give you a fixed quote before any work begins — no hidden fees, no vague day-rate estimates.

Why Should UK Businesses Choose By Design UK for This Migration?

We are a UK-based development company, not an overseas agency reselling white-label work. Our office is at Office 13, 25 Mollison Avenue, Enfield EN3 7LW, and our team works directly on every project we take on. As proof of what we build, Tackly.co.uk is a live SaaS platform we developed from the ground up, now serving clients across 25 industries. When you work with us on a Shopify migration, you get the same standard of engineering applied to your store. We also offer monthly Shopify support plans from £797 per month for businesses that want ongoing development, performance monitoring, and technical support after launch.

What Happens to Your SEO When You Leave Wix?

Done carelessly, a platform migration can erase months or years of organic search progress. Done properly, it preserves your rankings and often improves them. We audit your existing Wix URLs before migration begins, build a complete redirect map, transfer meta titles and descriptions, and verify crawlability on Shopify before your domain points to the new store. We also submit an updated sitemap to Google Search Console as part of the handover process.
