The short answer is yes, it is possible to transfer your Wix site to Shopify. However, it’s not as simple as just exporting your Wix site and importing it into Shopify. There are a few things you’ll need to do in order to make the transition successfully.
First, you’ll need to export your Wix site content as an XML file. To do this, go to your Wix Dashboard and click on the Export & Import button under the Site Tools section.

On the next page, select the option to Export Site Content and then click the Start Export button. Once the export is complete, you’ll be able to download the XML file.
Next, you’ll need to create a new Shopify store. You can do this by going to Shopify’s homepage and clicking on the Start Free Trial button.
On the next page, you’ll need to enter your store’s name, address, and contact information. Once you’ve done that, click on the Create Store button.
Now that you have both your XML file and your new Shopify store set up, you can begin importing your Wix content into Shopify. To do this, go to your Shopify Dashboard and click on the Products tab. On the next page, click on the Import button located at the top of the page.
On the Import Products page, select the option for XML and then click Choose File. Select your XML file from earlier and click Open. Finally, click on the Start Import button and wait for Shopify to finish importing your content.
And that’s it! You’ve now successfully transferred your Wix site content over to Shopify.
While there may be some slight differences in how your content looks on Shopify compared to Wix, overall everything should remain intact. So if you’re looking to make the switch from Wix to Shopify, rest assured that it is possible and relatively easy to do so.
