Migrate Thirty Bees to Squarespace: A Comprehensive How-To Guide
Seamlessly Transition Your E-commerce Store from Thirty Bees to Squarespace
Are you considering moving your online store from Thirty Bees to Squarespace? The decision to replatform your e-commerce business is a significant one, often driven by the need for enhanced features, a more intuitive user experience, or improved scalability. Squarespace, known for its sleek design, all-in-one platform, and user-friendliness, offers a compelling alternative to open-source solutions like Thirty Bees.
While Thirty Bees has served many merchants well, its reliance on self-hosting and manual maintenance can sometimes become a bottleneck for growth. This guide will walk you through a detailed, step-by-step process to migrate all your essential store data — including products, customer records, and order history — from your Thirty Bees store to a brand-new Squarespace platform using a powerful migration tool.
Since Thirty Bees does not have a direct, native connector for automated migration tools, we will leverage its ability to export data into CSV files. This CSV.File Data Migration approach ensures that all your valuable information can be transferred efficiently to your new Squarespace store, which will connect via its robust API.
Prerequisites for a Smooth Migration
Before you embark on the data transfer journey, it's crucial to prepare both your source (Thirty Bees) and target (Squarespace) stores. Proper preparation minimizes downtime and ensures data integrity.
For Your Thirty Bees (Source) Store:
- Data Export: You will need to export all the data you wish to migrate from your Thirty Bees store into CSV (Comma Separated Values) files. This includes product information (SKUs, variants, descriptions, images), product categories, customer details, order history, and potentially reviews or CMS pages. Ensure your CSV files are well-organized and accurately reflect your store's data.
- Data Review and Cleaning: Take this opportunity to review your exported data. Clean up any outdated, duplicate, or incorrect entries. A clean dataset will result in a more organized Squarespace store.
- Refer to our guide on preparing your source store for more details.
For Your Squarespace (Target) Store:
- Squarespace Account: Ensure you have an active Squarespace account and have selected an appropriate e-commerce plan that supports your business needs.
- Basic Setup: Have your Squarespace site initialized. You don't need to add products manually, as they will be migrated.
- Install Cart2Cart Squarespace Migration App: Squarespace utilizes an API-only connection method. To facilitate the migration, you will need to install the dedicated `Cart2Cart Squarespace Migration App` from the Squarespace App Store. This application will enable the migration service to connect securely to your Squarespace store.
- Generate API Credentials: After installing the app, you will need to generate specific API keys or tokens within your Squarespace account. These credentials typically include an Admin API access token with appropriate API scopes, allowing the migration tool to access and write data to your store. Squarespace requires HTTPS for all API connections.
- Refer to our guide on preparing your target store for further instructions, and for general security concerns, learn if it's safe to provide your access details.
Performing the Migration: A Step-by-Step Guide
With your stores prepared, let's begin the migration process using the Cart2Cart migration wizard.
Step 1: Start Your Migration
Navigate to the Cart2Cart website and initiate a new migration process. This is where your journey begins, leading you through the configuration steps.
Step 2: Configure Your Source Store (Thirty Bees via CSV)
In the migration wizard, you'll be prompted to set up your source store. Since Thirty Bees requires a CSV export, select 'CSV File to Cart' from the list of supported platforms. Then, upload the prepared CSV files containing your Thirty Bees store data (products, customers, orders, etc.). The Cart2Cart system will process these files to extract your store's information.
Step 3: Configure Your Target Store (Squarespace)
Next, select 'Squarespace' as your target shopping cart from the dropdown menu. You will then need to provide the necessary API credentials generated from your Squarespace account — typically an Admin API access token. Ensure the `Cart2Cart Squarespace Migration App` is installed in your Squarespace store as it's required for a successful connection. This API-only connection method will enable Cart2Cart to securely transfer your data.
Step 4: Select Data Entities for Migration
This critical step allows you to choose exactly which data you wish to transfer. The wizard will present a checklist of entities, typically including:
- Products (including SKUs, variants, attributes)
- Product Categories
- Customers
- Orders
- Product Reviews
- CMS Pages
- Blogs & Blog Posts
- Coupons
Carefully select all the data entities you need to transfer to your new Squarespace store to maintain continuity. You can select all or pick specific ones.
Step 5: Configure Additional Options and Data Mapping
This stage is vital for fine-tuning your data transfer. You'll find two main sections here:
Additional Migration Options:
These checkboxes allow you to tailor the migration. Consider enabling:
- Preserve Order IDs, Customer IDs, Product IDs, Category IDs: To maintain consistent numbering for historical data. See How Preserve IDs options can be used?
- Migrate Images in Description: Essential for transferring product and category images embedded within descriptions.
- SEO URLs & 301 SEO URLs: Crucial for maintaining your search engine rankings and link equity by creating redirects from old Thirty Bees URLs to new Squarespace ones.
- Clear Target Store Data: If your Squarespace store contains placeholder data, select 'Clear current data on Target store before migration' to start with a clean slate.
- Password Migration: If supported, this can migrate customer passwords, preserving user accounts.
Data Mapping:
Here, you'll map customer groups and order statuses from your Thirty Bees source to their corresponding equivalents in Squarespace. This ensures data consistency and proper categorization in your new platform.
Step 6: Run Demo Migration & Full Migration
Before committing to a full transfer, Cart2Cart offers a free demo migration. This allows you to migrate a limited number of entities to your Squarespace store, giving you a chance to review the data and confirm everything maps correctly. After verifying the demo results, you can proceed with the Full Migration.
Consider adding a Migration Insurance Plan, which offers additional remigrations and support, providing peace of mind during your transition. Learn more about how Migration Insurance works.
Post-Migration Steps
Once the data transfer is complete, a few crucial steps remain to ensure your new Squarespace store is fully operational and optimized.
- Verify Data Integrity: Thoroughly check your Squarespace store. Confirm that all products (SKUs, pricing, images, variants), customer accounts, order histories, and other migrated content are accurately displayed and functional.
- Implement 301 Redirects: If you enabled the 301 SEO URLs option, verify they are working correctly. This is paramount for preserving your SEO rankings and guiding visitors from old Thirty Bees URLs to their new Squarespace counterparts. Understanding the benefits of website migration can highlight the importance of this step.
- Configure Payment & Shipping: Set up your preferred payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) and define your shipping zones and rates within Squarespace.
- Design & Customization: Fine-tune your Squarespace theme. Leverage Squarespace's intuitive design tools to create a visually appealing and functional storefront.
- Thorough Testing: Conduct comprehensive tests of your entire store. This includes testing the checkout process, contact forms, search functionality, and responsiveness on various devices to ensure a seamless user experience.
- Update DNS and Go Live: Once you're confident everything is perfect, update your DNS records to point your domain to your new Squarespace store.
- Ongoing Monitoring: After going live, monitor your site's performance, traffic, and sales. For any new orders or customer data generated on your Thirty Bees store during the transition period, consider a Recent Data Migration Service to ensure no data is lost.

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.
