A Wix to Shopify migration can cost almost nothing beyond your Shopify plan if you move a small store yourself with CSV files. Paid migration apps add a one-off fee based on how much data you move, and hiring someone usually costs hundreds to a few thousand dollars, depending on catalog size, redirects and design work.

Key takeaways
- The migration itself can be free. Shopify's own Store Migration app and CSV imports cost nothing, though the app isn't available to every store.
- Your unavoidable cost is the Shopify plan: Basic is $39/month, or $29/month billed yearly.
- Paid migration apps charge per job, based on how many products, customers and orders you move. You see the exact price after a free demo.
- The costs people forget are a month of overlap on Wix, apps to replace Wix features, and their own time.
- Paying for help makes sense when you have hundreds of products, order history you need, or search traffic you can't afford to lose.
How much does it cost to migrate from Wix to Shopify?
It depends on which route you take. There are four, and the cash cost ranges from $0 to a few thousand dollars. The table below shows what each one costs and who it suits.
| Route | Cash cost of the move | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| CSV export and import (DIY) | $0 | Under 100 simple products, no order history needed |
| Shopify Store Migration app | $0 | Products and customers only, if the app is offered to your store |
| Third-party migration app (Cart2Cart, LitExtension and others) | One-off fee, quoted per job after a free demo | Larger catalogs, past orders, or less spreadsheet work |
| Hire a freelancer or agency | Hundreds to several thousand dollars | Busy founders, large or custom stores, stores with search traffic to protect |
On top of any route, you pay for your Shopify plan from the day your trial ends. As of October 2026, Shopify's pricing page lists Basic at $39/month billed monthly or $29/month billed yearly, and Grow at $105/month or $79/month billed yearly. Most small Wix stores start on Basic.
What does a DIY Wix to Shopify migration cost?
In cash, close to nothing. In time, anywhere from a weekend to a couple of weeks of evenings.
The DIY route uses tools you already have. You export products and contacts from Wix as CSV files, rename the columns to match Shopify's templates, and import them. Shopify's Wix migration guide lists every column to rename. There is no fee for any of it.
Shopify also has a free Store Migration app that imports your Wix product CSV without you editing it, plus your customers. It's in early access, works on desktop only and isn't available for every store, so treat it as a bonus rather than the plan. It also only brings across up to three product options, and sets each product to its highest price if you used prices by location.
The real cost of DIY is your time. As a rough guide, from our step-by-step Wix to Shopify migration guide:
- Under 50 products, a few pages: a weekend
- 50 to 500 products with variants and a blog: one to two weeks of evenings
- 500+ products, custom features, order history: usually worth getting help
If you want to see how your products look before you commit, you can start a free Shopify trial and import a small test file first.
How much do Wix to Shopify migration apps cost?
Third-party apps charge a one-off fee per migration, and the price depends on how many records you move and which extras you tick. None of the main tools publish a flat Wix price, so check the quote before you pay.
Shopify's guide points to apps such as Cart2Cart, LitExtension, EZ Importer and MigrationPro for moving order history, which CSV files and the Store Migration app can't do. Cart2Cart and LitExtension both run a free demo migration first, which shows a sample of your data in Shopify and the exact price before you commit.
How to keep the app bill down:
- Delete before you move. Archive discontinued products and test orders on Wix first, because you pay per record.
- Decide if you need old orders. If you only want them for your records, keep the Wix CSV export instead of paying to import them.
- Skip extras you won't use. Options such as moving SEO URLs or creating redirects automatically add to the price. You can set up redirects yourself for free in Shopify.
- Run the free demo and check it. Open the demo products in Shopify and compare them with Wix before you pay for the full move.
What are the hidden costs of moving from Wix to Shopify?
The migration fee is rarely the biggest number. These are the costs that catch people out:
| Cost | What it is | How to keep it low |
|---|---|---|
| Wix overlap | Keeping your Wix plan live while you build and test on Shopify | Plan the move so you only overlap for one billing period |
| Theme | Free Shopify themes cost $0. Paid Theme Store themes are a one-off purchase and are non-refundable | Use the free try-before-you-buy option for paid themes before purchasing |
| Apps to replace Wix features | Reviews, bookings, subscriptions or forms that were built into your Wix site | List what you actually use on Wix and replace only that |
| Reviews | Wix doesn't let you export reviews, so they go into a reviews app by hand | Shopify suggests Judge.me, Loox or Yotpo. Check each app's pricing page for its free tier |
| Payment fees | If you use a payment provider other than Shopify Payments, Basic adds a 2% third-party transaction fee | Use Shopify Payments if it's available in your country |
| Email on your domain | If your mailbox runs through Wix, you'll need forwarding or a new email provider | Shopify includes free email forwarding for custom domains |
| Lost sales and rankings | Broken links and a messy launch week | Set up redirects before you move the domain, and keep Wix live until Shopify is tested |
Your domain itself shouldn't cost extra. You can keep it with your current registrar and connect it to Shopify, or transfer it. For a full picture of running costs after the move, see our breakdown of how much a Shopify store costs.
How much does it cost to hire someone to migrate Wix to Shopify?
Quotes vary a lot, because people price different scopes. A data-only move is cheap. A move that includes a redesign, redirects, apps and SEO checks costs much more.
Published ranges show how wide this gets. One migration guide puts professional services at roughly $500 to $5,000 or more (ReferralCandy). A cost-estimating site lists $3,500 to $15,000 for Wix to Shopify projects (Project Cost Estimator). Neither number is wrong. They describe different jobs.
Before you compare quotes, ask each person to confirm exactly what's included:
- Products, variants, images and inventory
- Customers, and whether past orders are moved or left behind
- Page and blog content
- A full redirect map from your old Wix URLs
- Theme setup or a new design
- Payments, shipping and taxes
- The domain switch and checks after launch
A cheap quote that skips redirects can end up costing more in lost traffic than the whole project. Our guide to how much to pay someone to build a Shopify store covers how to compare quotes and keep control of your store.
Three example budgets
These are illustrations of how the costs add up, not quotes. Your numbers will depend on your store.
| Store | Route | What you pay |
|---|---|---|
| 30 products, no order history needed, free theme | DIY with CSV or the Store Migration app | Shopify plan, plus one month of Wix overlap. About a weekend of your time |
| 300 products with variants, past orders wanted, reviews to keep | DIY plus a paid migration app | Shopify plan, the app's quoted fee, a reviews app, plus one to two weeks of evenings |
| Any size, new look wanted, search traffic to protect | Done for you | Shopify plan plus the project fee. Your time goes on checking, not building |
If you're in the UK, EU or Australia
The prices above are Shopify's US prices in USD. Shopify shows local pricing on its regional pages, such as Shopify UK pricing, so check yours before you budget. Migration apps and freelancers often quote in USD too, so allow for the exchange rate. When you import products, check that prices come across with VAT or GST handled the same way they were on Wix.

Frequently asked questions
Is it free to move from Wix to Shopify?
The move itself can be free. You can export your products and customers from Wix as CSV files and import them into Shopify at no cost, or use Shopify's free Store Migration app if it's available to your store. You still pay for a Shopify plan after your trial, and you may pay for apps, a paid theme, or help with the work.
How much does Cart2Cart or LitExtension charge for a Wix migration?
Neither publishes a flat price for Wix to Shopify. Both price each migration by how many products, customers and orders you move and which extra options you choose. Both offer a free demo migration that moves a sample of your data and shows the exact price before you pay, so run the demo and check the results first.
Do I have to pay to move my Wix orders to Shopify?
Usually, yes. Shopify's CSV import and its Store Migration app handle products and customers, but not past orders. To bring order history across, Shopify points to third-party apps such as Cart2Cart, LitExtension, EZ Importer and MigrationPro, which charge per job. If you only need old orders for your records, keep your Wix CSV export instead.
Which Shopify plan do I need after leaving Wix?
Most small stores start on Basic, which is $39 a month or $29 a month billed yearly as of October 2026. It includes unlimited products, abandoned checkout recovery and email campaigns. Move to Grow when you need staff accounts or lower card rates. You can change plans later, so there's no need to start on a bigger one.
Is it worth paying someone to migrate my Wix store?
It's worth it when your time is worth more than the fee, or the risk is high. That usually means hundreds of products, order history you need, custom features, or search traffic you rely on. For a small, simple store you can do it yourself in a weekend. Compare quotes on the same scope, especially redirects.
