Your WIX to Squarespace Migration in Detail

Migrating your store with Cart2Cart is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and accuracy. Follow these key steps to move your data from WIX to Squarespace:

  1. Connect Your WIX Source Store

    First, specify WIX as your Source Cart and provide the necessary API credentials. This establishes a secure connection, allowing Cart2Cart to access your existing store data.

    The initial view of the 'Source Store Info' page. It displays the 'Choose Source Shopping Cart' dropdown with 'WooCommerce' selected, along with input fields for Source Store URL, Source Store Admin URL, Source Admin Login, and Source Admin Password. An 'I don't have these details' checkbox is available for admin credentials.
  2. Connect Your Squarespace Target Store

    Next, select Squarespace as your Target Cart and input the required API credentials. This step prepares your new Squarespace store to receive the migrated data.

This app performs greatly

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.
