WIX to Etsy
Your WIX to Etsy Data Export Journey with Cart2Cart
Moving your store data requires careful steps, especially when transitioning to a marketplace like Etsy that relies on file imports. Cart2Cart guides you through preparing your WIX data for a smooth transition.
-
Connect Your WIX Source Store
First, specify WIX as your current e-commerce platform. You'll provide your WIX store's administrative URL and connect securely via API credentials. This allows Cart2Cart to access and extract your store's data.
-
Prepare Data for Etsy Target
Since Etsy primarily supports data import via files, Cart2Cart will prepare your WIX data into a format suitable for manual upload to your Etsy shop. You won't connect directly to Etsy via API in this step; instead, you'll define how your data should be structured for export.
-
Select Entities for Export
Choose precisely which data entities you wish to export from your WIX store. This includes essential information like products, categories, customers, and orders. Cart2Cart ensures that only the necessary and relevant data is prepared for your Etsy shop.
-
Configure Export Options
Tailor your data export with various options. For instance, you can choose to adjust product quantities or ensure specific data fields are formatted correctly for Etsy's import system. These options help optimize your data for the target platform.
-
Run Demo Data Export
Before a full export, perform a demo migration. This will generate a sample set of data files, allowing you to review how your WIX data will appear and function when manually imported into Etsy. It's a crucial step to verify accuracy and build confidence.
-
Perform Full Data Export
Once you're satisfied with the demo results, proceed with the full data export. Cart2Cart will process all your selected WIX data and generate comprehensive files ready for you to download and manually import into your Etsy store.
-
Manual Import to Etsy
After Cart2Cart has prepared your data files, the final step involves manually uploading these files into your Etsy shop through their administrative interface. This ensures your products, orders, and customer information are correctly populated on the marketplace.
Migratable Entities from WIX to Etsy (via File Export)
Cart2Cart helps you prepare the following essential data entities from your WIX store for manual import into Etsy:
- Products: Including product names, descriptions, images, prices, and SKUs.
- Product Categories: Your store's organizational structure for products.
- Customers: Customer names, email addresses, and billing/shipping information.
- Orders: Order details, statuses, product items, and customer associations.
- Coupons: Discount codes and their configurations.
- Manufacturers: Information about product brands or manufacturers.
- Order Statuses: Mapping of your WIX order statuses to Etsy-compatible equivalents.
- Product Reviews: (If available for export from WIX and supported by Etsy's import).
- Taxes: Tax settings associated with products and orders.
How long does a WIX to Etsy data export take?
The duration of your WIX data export depends on the volume of entities (products, customers, orders) you have. A demo export, which processes a limited number of entities, typically takes a few minutes. A full data export can range from a few hours to several days for very large stores. The manual import time into Etsy will depend on Etsy's system and the size of your files.
Will my WIX store experience downtime during the data export?
No, your WIX store will remain fully operational and accessible to customers throughout the data export process. Cart2Cart works with a copy of your data, ensuring zero downtime for your source store. Downtime, if any, would occur during your manual import process into Etsy, which you control.
What data can I migrate from WIX to Etsy using Cart2Cart?
Cart2Cart can prepare a wide range of data from your WIX store for Etsy import, including products, product categories, customers, orders, coupons, manufacturers, order statuses, product reviews (if exportable from WIX), and tax configurations. We focus on providing you with comprehensive files for your Etsy shop.
Can I perform a demo data export before committing to a full one?
Absolutely! Cart2Cart offers a free demo data export. This allows you to export a limited number of entities from WIX and generate sample files. You can then manually import these samples into Etsy to verify the data structure and quality before proceeding with a full, paid export.
What if I encounter issues during the data export or manual import to Etsy?
Cart2Cart provides dedicated support to assist with any challenges during the data export process. While the manual import into Etsy is your responsibility, our team can offer guidance on file formats and common issues. We also offer various Migration Service Packages for comprehensive assistance.
Is it possible to revert the data export or undo changes on Etsy?
The data export from WIX is a non-destructive process, meaning your WIX store remains unchanged. For Etsy, since the import is manual, any changes or deletions would need to be managed directly within your Etsy seller account. It's always recommended to back up your Etsy store data before any large-scale manual imports.
How does Cart2Cart handle SEO during the WIX to Etsy transition?
While Etsy manages its own SEO structure, Cart2Cart ensures that your product and category data, including descriptions and relevant attributes, are accurately exported from WIX. This provides a solid foundation for optimizing your listings directly within Etsy to maintain visibility.

This app performs greatly. The service is very reliable and the support is superb. The service is quite costly for me but in the end, it's worth its money. There is also an automated shopping cart migration and I'm very happy about that! I'm really satisfied.
