Checkout that loses you money
Squarespace Commerce lacks native one-page checkout, upsell flows, and the app ecosystem your conversion rate actually needs.
App integrations hit a wall
The apps you need for subscriptions, loyalty, product information management, and inventory management simply do not exist in the Squarespace ecosystem.
Reporting you cannot act on
Basic analytics with no customer lifetime value segmentation, no cohort view, and no way to connect to your marketing stack.
Business-to-business and wholesale not supported
No tiered pricing, draft orders, or net payment terms. Your wholesale channel has to live in a separate system or spreadsheet.
Marketplace sync is manual
Connecting Amazon, Google Shopping, or TikTok Shop requires workarounds that break at the worst possible time.
Dev work takes weeks, not days
Custom Squarespace development is slow, expensive, and rarely portable. You pay to build things you own until the next platform constraint forces a rebuild.

Search engine optimization redirect mapping
Every URL gets a 301 redirect. We map your Squarespace URL structure, audit meta titles, and run a post-launch crawl to confirm zero broken links.
No ranking loss
Custom Shopify theme
Your brand, rebuilt natively in Liquid. No theme store compromise. Conversion-optimised layouts designed around your product catalog and buyer journey.
Staging and QA sign-off
Your new store is built in a staging environment and tested across 40+ device and browser combinations before a single visitor sees it.
30-day post-launch support
Our team monitors your store for 30 days after go-live. Bug fixes, performance tweaks, and staff training are included at no extra charge.

Client result
Real migration. Real numbers. Real fast.
Client profile
Holistic veterinary and wellness brand with an established online catalog and subscriber base.
Health and wellnessThe problem
The legacy WordPress store caused slow page loads, poor mobile usability, and a fragmented checkout that was costing conversions. The team needed to move fast without disrupting their subscriber list or losing search rankings they had built over years.
The solution
A custom Shopify theme was built to meet their design and conversion requirements while maintaining brand identity. Products, customer accounts, and content moved via a structured secure data migration. Search engine optimization redirects, metadata, and backlink anchors were preserved. Third-party apps replicated every existing integration. The domain cut over in a single low-traffic window with a live monitoring team on call.

Why Redefine
Migration agencies that deliver and migration agencies that disappear
Redefine
Firm 14-day delivery timeline in writing
You get a signed statement of work with
milestone dates, not a rough estimate
Custom theme, not a theme store template
Your store is built from scratch in Liquid,
not a $300 off-the-shelf file
Full search engine optimization audit included,
not an add-on
Redirect mapping, crawl verification, and
metadata porting are in scope by default
30-day post-launch support, zero extra charge
Our team stays on for a month after go-live
to fix anything that surfaces
Zero store downtime during migration
Your Squarespace store stays live until
Shopify QA is signed off and approved
Transparent fixed pricing, no surprise invoices
All scope changes require written approval
before work begins
Typical implementation partner
Vague timelines, rolling scope
"Should take 4 to 8 weeks"
is not a delivery commitment
Theme store template with surface customisation
Looks like a hundred other
Shopify stores on launch day
Search engine optimization is a billable add-on
Redirect maps and crawl
audits cost extra, often discovered too late
Handoff and disappear
Post-launch bugs go to a
ticket queue, not a dedicated team
Downtime during cutover
DNS switchovers sometimes
take hours when staging was not validated first
Change orders at every turn
Anything outside an
over-broad statement of work triggers a new invoice
Common questions
Everything you want to know before you commit
Still deciding? These are the questions we get on almost every scoping call. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
Most migrations complete in 10 to 21 business days depending on store size, product count, and custom design complexity. You receive a firm milestone schedule after your free scoping call so the timeline is in writing before any work begins.
Not with a properly managed migration. We build a full URL redirect map before cutover, preserve metadata and canonical tags, and run a post-launch crawl audit within 24 hours of go-live to confirm zero broken links and no ranking signals lost.
Yes. Your full product catalog with variants and images, customer accounts, order history, blog content, and media assets all move. We run a row-by-row verification against the source before confirming the migration is complete.
No. We work across all Shopify plans. If your revenue or operational complexity points toward Plus, we will advise you clearly during the scoping call so you make the right plan decision before go-live day.
Your Squarespace store stays live throughout. Your new Shopify store is built and fully QA-approved in a staging environment. The domain cuts over only after sign-off, keeping actual downtime under 30 minutes and scheduled during your lowest-traffic window.
Is this the right migration for you?
Who this migration is built for, and who it isn't
Good fit for
- Squarespace Commerce stores that have grown past the platform's checkout and app ecosystem limits and are losing conversion rate as a result.
- Brands that need real integrations with Klaviyo, subscriptions, loyalty, or marketplaces that simply do not exist in the Squarespace app store.
- Stores with established search engine optimization rankings that need a migration partner who will protect every URL redirect from day one.
- Merchants who want a custom Liquid theme, not a generic template, and need someone to own the entire build from data to go-live.
Not a fit if
- You're pre-revenue or running a hobby store with fewer than 50 products. The migration investment won't recover in the near term.
- You need a basic data export and are happy to build the Shopify store yourself. This is a full-service managed migration, not a data dump.
- You need to be live in under 5 business days. Our standard migration scope starts at 10 days and cannot safely compress below that.
- Your Squarespace plan is website-only with no ecommerce features. There is no commerce data to migrate in that case.
