Switching from Squarespace to Wix
Switching from Squarespace to Wix is typically about wanting more design flexibility, a broader app marketplace, or Wix’s advanced business tools like Velo custom code.
Quick verdict: Reasonable if you specifically want Wix’s flexibility or app ecosystem, but this is a from-scratch rebuild — Wix has no native importer for Squarespace sites, and even blog-post import is only a pending feature request.
Why teams switch from Squarespace to Wix
Broader app marketplace
Wix’s App Market offers a wider range of third-party integrations for booking, marketing, and business operations than Squarespace’s extension library.
More granular design customization
Wix’s editor and Velo custom-code platform give more control over layout and functionality than Squarespace’s more templated design system.
Flexible pricing tiers for different needs
Wix’s wider spread of plans, from Light to Business Elite, can better match specific budgets and feature needs than Squarespace’s four-tier structure.

How to migrate your data
Wix has no native importer for Squarespace sites; even blog-post import, which Wix supports from WordPress, is still just a feature request for Squarespace.
Step
What happens
1Export product data from Squarespace
If you run Squarespace Commerce, export your product catalog as CSV, then reformat it to match Wix’s product-import template for Wix Stores.
2Import products into Wix Stores
Upload the reformatted CSV through Wix’s import tool, keeping within its 15MB and 10,000-row limits per file.
3Manually rebuild pages and design
Pick a Wix template and manually recreate your Squarespace pages, since layout, fonts, and design elements have no automated transfer path.
4Manually recreate blog content
Copy blog posts over by hand — Wix’s official blog importer supports WordPress, not Squarespace, so this content type has no automated route.
5Set up 301 redirects
Map old Squarespace URLs to their new Wix addresses with 301 redirects so search rankings and existing backlinks aren’t lost.
6Test bookings, forms, and go live
Rebuild any Squarespace Scheduling/Acuity bookings or contact forms using Wix’s equivalents, then verify everything before switching DNS.
What Wix’s importer doesn’t handle: Wix has no native importer for Squarespace sites — design, layout, and blog posts cannot be imported at all, and Wix’s support pages list Squarespace blog import only as an open feature request, not a working tool.
Pricing during the transition
Both platforms bundle hosting into every plan, so compare tiers with similar feature sets.
Does Wix have any official importer for Squarespace sites?
No, there is no native importer for Squarespace design, pages, or content; even blog-post import (which Wix supports for WordPress) is only an open feature request for Squarespace.
Can I at least bring my product catalog over automatically?
Yes, that’s the one path that works: export your Squarespace product catalog as CSV and import it into Wix Stores using Wix’s import template.
Will my Squarespace blog posts transfer to Wix?
No, there’s no automated path, so blog content needs to be copied over manually, post by post.
Is switching from Squarespace to Wix a bigger project than the reverse?
It’s roughly comparable: both directions require a full manual design rebuild, since neither platform has a real Squarespace-Wix importer for anything beyond product CSVs.
How do I protect my SEO rankings during the switch?
Set up 301 redirects from every old Squarespace URL to its new Wix page and resubmit your sitemap to Google Search Console after launch.
