Migrate Your Store from Getonic to Squarespace: A Comprehensive Guide

A Comprehensive Guide to Transitioning from Getonic to Squarespace

Migrating your e-commerce store is a pivotal step towards enhancing your online presence, improving functionality, and scaling your business. If you're looking to move your existing store from Getonic to Squarespace, you're choosing a robust platform known for its design flexibility and integrated features. This detailed guide will walk you through the entire replatforming process, ensuring a smooth and successful data transfer using the Cart2Cart migration solution.

While Getonic doesn't offer a direct API for automated data transfer, this guide will outline how to effectively export your crucial store data into CSV files and then seamlessly import it into Squarespace, transforming your digital storefront for a modern, engaging customer experience.

Prerequisites for Migration

Before you embark on your migration journey, proper preparation is key to a smooth and error-free transition. Gathering all necessary information and configuring your platforms correctly will save you time and prevent potential roadblocks.

For Your Getonic (Source) Store:

  • Data Export: Since Getonic does not have a direct API connection for automated migration, you will need to export all your vital store data into CSV (Comma Separated Values) files. This includes data for products (with all their SKUs and variants), product categories, customer records, orders, and any other entities you wish to move.
  • Data Integrity Check: Thoroughly review your exported CSV files for accuracy and completeness. Correct any inconsistencies or missing information before proceeding.
  • Backup Your Data: Always create a full backup of your Getonic store's database and files. This is a crucial safety measure before any major store alteration.

For more details on preparing your source store, read our guide: How to prepare Source store for migration?

For Your Squarespace (Target) Store:

  • Active Squarespace Account: Ensure you have an active Squarespace account and have selected your desired e-commerce plan.
  • Install Cart2Cart Squarespace Migration App: Squarespace requires the installation of a dedicated migration app for data transfer. You will need to install the Cart2Cart Squarespace Migration App to enable the connection.
  • Admin Access: You must have full administrator access to your Squarespace store to provide the necessary connection credentials (Admin URL, Admin Email, Admin Password).
  • HTTPS Required: Squarespace platforms inherently require HTTPS, ensuring secure data transfer and a trustworthy shopping environment for your customers.
  • Consider Custom App Development: While Cart2Cart handles standard migrations, specific complex requirements might necessitate custom app development, as noted in Squarespace's API limitations.

Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide

The migration process with Cart2Cart is designed to be intuitive. Follow these steps to successfully transfer your store data.

Step 1: Get Started with Cart2Cart

Begin by navigating to the Cart2Cart website. You'll typically find an option to start a new migration.

Step 2: Set Up Your Source Store (Getonic via CSV)

In the migration wizard, you will first configure your source platform.

  • Select "CSV File to Cart" from the dropdown list of source shopping cart types.
  • Upload the CSV files containing your Getonic store's data. You will then be guided to map the columns in your CSV files to the corresponding data fields in the migration tool. This ensures that your products, customer data, orders, and other entities are correctly identified for transfer.

For more information on CSV migrations, visit our CSV.File Data Migration service page.

Step 3: Connect Your Target Store (Squarespace)

Next, you will set up your target platform.

  • Choose "Squarespace" as your target shopping cart.
  • Provide the necessary connection details: your Squarespace Admin URL, the Admin Email, and the Admin Password. These credentials allow Cart2Cart to establish an API-only connection to your new store and facilitate the data transfer. Remember that the Cart2Cart Squarespace Migration App must be installed for this connection to succeed.

Step 4: Select Data Entities for Migration

This critical step allows you to choose exactly what data you want to move from your Getonic CSVs to Squarespace. You can select all available entities or pick specific ones.

  • Check the boxes next to the entities you wish to migrate. Common entities include: Products (with their SKUs and variants), Product Categories, Customers, Orders, Product Reviews, CMS Pages, Gift Cards, Coupons, and Blog Posts.

Step 5: Configure Additional Options and Data Mapping

This stage offers powerful customization options to tailor your migration. You'll see two main sections:

Additional Migration Options:

Enhance your data transfer with various features. Recommended options often include:

  • "Clear Target Store Data": This will remove any existing data on your Squarespace store before the migration, ensuring a clean slate.
  • "Preserve Order IDs": Maintain the original order numbers from Getonic on your Squarespace store.
  • "Migrate Images in Description": Ensures that all product and category images embedded within descriptions are transferred.
  • "Create 301 Redirects": Essential for SEO, this option helps preserve your search engine rankings and link equity by automatically setting up redirects from old Getonic URLs to new Squarespace URLs.
  • "Migrate All Categories" and "Migrate Groups to Tags": Helpful for organizing your product data in Squarespace.

Explore more about these options: Clear current data on Target store before migration option and How Preserve IDs options can be used?

Data Mapping Setup:

This is where you ensure data consistency between your source CSVs and Squarespace.

  • You will map specific fields like customer groups (e.g., "Wholesale" to "Customer") and order statuses (e.g., "Pending" to "Awaiting Payment") to their corresponding equivalents in Squarespace. This ensures that your migrated data retains its meaning and functionality on the new platform.

Step 6: Run Demo Migration and Full Migration

Before committing to the full transfer, run a free demo migration. This will transfer a limited number of entities (e.g., 10-20 products, customers, and orders) to your Squarespace store, allowing you to:

  • Verify Data Integrity: Check if products, categories, customer accounts, and order details are accurately transferred and displayed.
  • Test Functionality: Ensure basic store functions work correctly on Squarespace with the migrated data.

Once you are satisfied with the demo results, proceed with the full migration. You'll review the total cost and can opt for a Migration Insurance Service, which offers additional remigrations for a specified period, providing peace of mind.

Post-Migration Steps

Your migration isn't complete until you've thoroughly reviewed your new Squarespace store and ensured everything is fully operational.

  • Comprehensive Data Verification: Go through your Squarespace store meticulously. Check product details (SKUs, variants, descriptions, images), customer accounts, order histories, CMS pages, and reviews. Ensure all migrated data is accurate and accessible.
  • Functionality Testing: Simulate a customer journey. Test the checkout process, payment gateways, search functionality, contact forms, and account management features. Ensure the user experience is seamless.
  • Update DNS and Implement 301 Redirects: Once confident in your new Squarespace store, update your Domain Name System (DNS) records to point your domain to Squarespace. Critically, verify that all 301 redirects are properly in place to maintain your SEO rankings and link equity. This prevents broken links and retains the value of your existing inbound links.
  • Configure Shipping and Taxes: Set up your shipping zones, rates, and tax rules within Squarespace's administrative panel, aligning them with your business operations.
  • Install and Configure Apps/Integrations: Reinstall and configure any necessary third-party applications, analytics tools, marketing integrations, or payment gateways that were previously used on Getonic.
  • Notify Customers: Inform your customer base about the successful transition to your new Squarespace store. Highlight any new features or improvements they can expect.
  • Monitor Performance: Keep a close eye on your Squarespace store's performance, traffic, and sales data in the weeks following the migration. Utilize Squarespace's analytics and Google Analytics to track user behavior and identify any potential issues.

By diligently following these steps, you will successfully transition your e-commerce business from Getonic to Squarespace, unlocking new opportunities for growth and a superior online shopping experience.

Many of my customers have Magento 1 stores. This year Magento will stop supporting this system and because of this these customers need to migrate to another system. Migration can be difficult and very time consuming process. But then i found Cart2Cart. There solution is the best and affordable. With the first migration there where some problems, but i did made some mistakes with filling in the correct fields to get a connection between the current and the target store. After starting a chat these problems where fixed very quickly. Support is very good and there solution is very affordable. The perfect solution!

We were in need of migrating 10.000 orders & customers from a PrestaShop site to a Magento site, already being in use. We therefore needed to be extra careful not to erase any of the existing data, which is why we seeked out the service of Cart2Cart. With a readily available customer service providing guidance and support during the entire process, we felt secure in the choice of Cart2Cart. We also enjoyed the possibility to do a test migration to be able to verify the values, before going ahead with a full migration. The full migration was surprisingly quick, within just a couple of minutes we had successfully transfered all the data, without experiencing any issues on the site. I’d recommend Cart2Cart to anyone who are looking to simplify the process of migrating.
