Can You Transfer a Weebly Website to Shopify?

Last updated on December 29, 2022 @ 9:50 pm

Weebly is a website builder that allows users to create and design their own websites.Shopify is a platform that allows users to create online stores. Both platforms have their own advantages and disadvantages.

So, can you transfer a Weebly website to Shopify? The answer is yes, but it’s not as simple as just exporting your Weebly site and importing it into Shopify. There are a few things you need to do in order to make sure your site looks and functions the way you want it to on Shopify.

First, you’ll need to export your Weebly site as an HTML file. To do this, go to your Weebly site’s dashboard and click on the “Settings” button.

Under the “Site” tab, scroll down to the “Export / Import” section and click on the “Export” button. This will download an HTML file of your Weebly site to your computer.

Next, you’ll need to import that HTML file into Shopify. To do this, log into your Shopify account and go to the “Themes” section of your dashboard.

Click on the “Actions” button and then select “Edit code.” In the “Layout” folder, click on the “theme.liquid” file. This will open up the code for your shop’s theme in the code editor.

Scroll down to the very bottom of the code and add this line of code:

<nowiki>
<link href="{{ 'weebly-site.css' | asset_url }}" rel="stylesheet">
</nowiki>
PRO TIP: Weebly is a website builder that allows users to create and edit their own website. Shopify is an ecommerce platform that allows users to create and manage their online store. While it is possible to transfer a Weebly website to Shopify, it is not recommended. This is because the two platforms are not compatible with each other and you may lose some of your Weebly content in the process.

Replace “weebly-site.css” with the name of your HTML file that you exported from Weebly. Save your changes and then go back to the “Themes” section of your dashboard.

Click on the “Actions” button again and select “Edit code.” This time, in the “Assets” folder, click on the “Add a new asset” button.

In the “Asset Type” dropdown menu, select “File.” Then click on the “Choose File” button and select your HTML file from wherever you saved it on your computer. Click on the “Upload asset” button and then close the code editor.

Now that your HTML file is uploaded to Shopify, you’ll need to create a new page in Shopify for it. To do this, go to the “Pages” section of your dashboard and click on the “Add page” button.

In the page title field, enter whatever you want people to see as the title of your page (this can be different from what’s in your HTML file).

In the page template dropdown menu, select ”
