Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:11 am

When you’re ready to make the switch from Wix to Shopify, the process is relatively straightforward. You can transfer your domain from Wix to Shopify in just a few steps.

First, you’ll need to log in to your Wix account and go to the Domains tab.

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

Next, click on the Transfer Domain button and enter your domain name into the search bar.

Once you’ve found your domain, click on the Transfer button next to it.

Enter your Shopify store’s URL into the popup window and click on the Transfer Domain button.

You’ll be asked to confirm the transfer by clicking on the Transfer Domain button again.

The process can take up to a few days to complete, but you’ll be able to continue using your Wix site during that time.

PRO TIP: If you are considering transferring your domain from Wix to Shopify, be aware that there is no guarantee that your domain will be transferred successfully. Additionally, your domain may be in limbo during the transfer process, which could result in lost traffic and customers.

That’s all there is to it! Once the transfer is complete, your domain will be pointing to your Shopify store and you can start using all of Shopify’s features to grow your business.
