Migrate from Etsy to Wix: an Automated Approach

Follow these simple steps of our migration guide and transfer your store to Wix just within a few clicks and a little time:

Step 1: Establish a Wix Store

Getting started with Wix is pretty straightforward. First off, you'll need to register an account. If your current template doesn't include Wix Stores, be ready to add eCommerce functionality separately:

  1. Tap the 'Add +' button in the Editor menu,
  2. Click Store,
  3. Click + Add to Site.

Therefore, the new "My Stores" button will appear in the Editor menu. Just click it and start creating your online store.

Step 2: Configure Source and Target Carts

For starters, you'll need to set up the Source cart. Choose Etsy from the pop-up menu. Provide your store's URL.

Now it's time to set up your Target cart - select Wix from the drop-down list. Next, click the "install plugin" button to get the Cart2Cart Migration Module from the official Wix marketplace. You'll be redirected to the Wix website. Once the module is installed, you can proceed with the data transfer. Simply press the "Choose entities" button and proceed to the next step.
