Should I Move From Squarespace to Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 1:05 am

The short answer is yes, you should move from Squarespace to Shopify. Here’s why:

Shopify is More Flexible

Shopify is a more flexible platform than Squarespace. With Shopify, you can choose from over 100 themes (including free and paid options), and you can also hire a developer to create a custom theme for you. In contrast, Squarespace only offers around 60 themes, and if you want a custom theme, you have to use their code blocks feature (which is much more limited than what Shopify offers).

Shopify Has More Apps

Shopify has a huge app store with over 2,000 apps. These apps let you add features and functionality to your store that aren’t available out of the box. In contrast, Squarespace only has around 200 apps.

PRO TIP: If you are considering moving from Squarespace to Shopify, there are a few things you should be aware of. First, Shopify is a much more robust platform than Squarespace. This means that it can take some time to get used to the interface and features. Additionally, Shopify is a hosted platform, which means you will need to pay a monthly fee to use it. Finally, while Squarespace offers a 14-day free trial, Shopify offers a 30-day free trial.

Shopify Is More Affordable

Shopify is more affordable than Squarespace. Their cheapest plan starts at $29 per month, while Squarespace’s cheapest plan starts at $12 per month.

However, keep in mind that Shopify’s $29 per month plan is very limited, so you’ll probably need to upgrade to their $79 per month plan (which is still cheaper than Squarespace’s $144 per month plan).

Conclusion: Overall, Shopify is the better platform if you’re looking to open an online store. It’s more flexible, has more apps, and is more affordable.
