Migrate Practice · Squarespace to Shopify (3–6 Weeks)
Squarespace replatforms, with the content model rebuilt rather than pasted.
Squarespace Commerce looks clean until your SKU count, variant logic, fulfillment workflows, or AI search visibility hit its ceiling. We migrate your Squarespace catalog, editorial content, customers, and orders onto an engineered Shopify Online Store 2.0 foundation.

Why shouldn’t we just use the default Squarespace CSV import into Shopify?
Because the default CSV import dumps Squarespace’s layout-block HTML directly into `body_html`, leaves `/shop/p/*` URLs unredirected, and creates zero structured metafields for filters or AI search.
