Squarespace catalogues are often manageable. The greater risk is losing useful pages, posts and routes built up over years.
We inventory pages, posts, categories, tags and embedded media before designing the new structure. Content worth keeping gets a real destination rather than a blanket redirect to the homepage.
We combine a crawl with Search Console landing pages and external-link data where available. Product, blog and standalone-page routes are mapped, and redirects are verified as single hops after launch.
Product data is generally workable. Customer and order history depend on the account and how long it has traded. We confirm the export, run a sample and state any gap before the full migration.
These need exporting before the Squarespace subscription lapses and a chosen replacement on Shopify. Stored payment details cannot transfer, so subscription continuity and customer communication need separate decisions.
Small catalogues can be checked product by product. Content is compared with the route inventory. We test a real order and the agreed app replacements, then move the agreed new records created since the full migration before cutover.
We map the URLs and plan the switch before launch, then check the live store so problems are caught quickly.

Products, customers, orders and content mapped into a Shopify store that already exists or is priced separately. Fixed once source access and a sample migration are reviewed.

Migration and build
From £5,000From $6,500
Moving to Shopify and building the store in one project, so the data and the storefront land together rather than in two disconnected pieces of work.

Where the editorial site is substantial, the content rebuild is the larger half of the project and is priced as build work rather than as data migration.
That is the main thing the project is designed to protect. Posts are carried across, routes are mapped under a consistent rule and verified after launch, and pages that earn traffic get a destination at least as good rather than a redirect to the homepage.
Yes, but not by accident. Squarespace sets a decent default standard, so the design has to be a deliberate part of the scope. A migration that trades visual quality for commerce features is a poor exchange for a brand that sells on presentation.
Usually because commerce has become the constraint: variants, stock control, shipping rules, discounts or selling across channels. If none of those are limiting the business, moving is not automatically the right call, and we will say so.
They need exporting before the subscription lapses and a chosen replacement on the Shopify side. It is a small task that becomes a large problem if it is left until after the switch.
On a content-led store, that list shapes the project more than the product count.
