Weebly to Shopify Migration

A Weebly to Shopify migration moves your items and options, categories, customers, order history, coupons, pages and blog posts from Weebly or Square Online into Shopify, then 301 redirects every old /store/p and .html URL to its new Shopify address. Ecomzier rebuilds what Weebly exports leave out, such as extra product images and category trees, and tests everything before launch.

Who is a Weebly to Shopify migration for?

Weebly is a website builder that Square bought in 2018 (Square). Square now builds its online stores in the Square Online builder and points Weebly creators there for its newest website features (Square Support). If your store has to be rebuilt either way, it makes sense to rebuild it on a platform made for selling. These are the four situations we see most.

Weebly stores in the 67 wind down countries

Square is winding down Weebly in 67 countries. Sites there were unpublished on September 27, 2026, and account access ends on December 26, 2026, so download your data before then (Weebly Support).

Stores moving off the Weebly builder

Square offers a guide for Weebly creators to move to the Square Online builder (Square Support). Weebly’s site archive cannot be imported back into Weebly and leaves out blog and store pages (Weebly Support), so the store is rebuilt whichever platform you choose.

Square Online sellers with several locations

Shopify’s own Square import moves products and customers, but sets each price to the highest location price and does not import inventory by location (Shopify Help Center). We plan prices and stock per location before import.

Stores with years of orders and content

Weebly exports orders as CSV or a QuickBooks file (Weebly Support), but Shopify admin has no order import (Shopify Help Center). Order history, blog posts and pages need a planned migration, not a copy and paste.

Weebly data	Moves?	How it lands in Shopify
Items and options	Yes, remapped	Weebly’s item CSV has one row for every option combination, such as small red and small blue (Weebly Support). Each combination becomes a Shopify variant with its own SKU, price, sale price and stock. Shopify allows up to three options and 2,048 variants per product (Shopify Help Center), so larger items are restructured first.
Item types	Yes, by type	Weebly items can be physical goods, digital goods, services, events, donations or memberships (Weebly Support). Physical goods move as products. The other types are rebuilt with the Shopify app that fits each one.
Categories	Yes, rebuilt	The export lists only the subcategory an item belongs to, not its parent (Weebly Support). We rebuild the full tree as Shopify collections and a navigation menu from your live store.
Images	Yes, collected	The CSV image column holds only the main image URL (Weebly Support). We collect every gallery image from your product pages, upload them to Shopify and add alt text.
Customers and contacts	Yes	Mailing lists export as CSV (Weebly Support) and buyers come from your order history. Passwords cannot move. With Shopify new customer accounts, customers sign in with a six digit code sent by email instead.
Historical orders	Yes, via API	Weebly exports all orders, orders since your last export or a date range as CSV or a QuickBooks .iif file (Weebly Support). Shopify admin has no order import (Shopify Help Center), so we load orders through the API with line items, totals and dates.
Coupons	Recreated	Weebly coupons (Weebly Support) are recreated as Shopify discount codes, checked rule by rule.
Pages	Yes	Every Weebly page ends in .html (Weebly Support). Page content moves into Shopify pages and the site structure becomes your menus.
Blog posts	Yes	The Weebly site archive leaves out blog and store pages (Weebly Support), so we move posts from your published blog with their text, images and publish dates.
SEO fields	Yes	Each Weebly item has an optional permalink, SEO title and SEO description (Weebly Support). They move into Shopify SEO fields and product handles, along with page titles and descriptions.

Your store runs on	How the data comes out	What it means for the migration
Weebly (Weebly editor)	Items as CSV from Items, Site Items (Weebly Support), orders as CSV or QuickBooks .iif (Weebly Support), contacts as CSV (Weebly Support) and a ZIP archive of the site without blog and store pages (Weebly Support).	We combine the exports with a crawl of the live store to recover gallery images, the category tree, blog posts and every URL.
Weebly in one of the 67 wind down countries	Download My Data under Account Settings, My Data, or a single site archive, until December 26, 2026 (Weebly Support).	Sites there went offline on September 27, 2026, so we rebuild the URL list from your data download and Google Search Console instead of a live crawl. Download your data first.
Square Online	Items from the Square item library as Excel or CSV (Square Support) and Square Online orders as CSV or QuickBooks .iif (Square Support).	Shopify’s Store Migration app imports Square products and customers from CSV (Shopify Help Center). We handle the limits it lists: prices by location, items with more than three options and inventory by location.
A Weebly site already rebuilt on Square Online	Current data comes from Square. Older Weebly URLs may still have backlinks and rankings.	We redirect both generations of URLs, the old Weebly /store/p addresses and the current Square Online ones, straight to the final Shopify URL.

Weebly feature	Why it does not move	How we rebuild it on Shopify
Theme and design	Weebly themes run only in the Weebly editor, and the site archive is an offline backup that cannot be imported back into Weebly (Weebly Support).	A Shopify theme with sections and blocks your team edits in the theme editor, matched to your brand.
Contact forms and slideshows	Weebly notes these elements may not work outside its editor (Weebly Support).	Rebuilt with Shopify theme sections or a form app, with submissions routed to the same inbox.
Weebly App Center apps	Apps are connected to your Weebly account, not your data.	Each app is mapped to a native Shopify feature or an app from the Shopify App Store.
Memberships, events and donations	These are Weebly item types (Weebly Support) with no direct Shopify product equivalent.	Rebuilt with Shopify customer accounts and the app that fits each one, then tested end to end.
Existing Weebly 301 redirects	Redirects set in Weebly’s SEO settings live in the Weebly editor (Weebly Support).	We copy them into the redirect map so older URLs point straight to the final Shopify URL, with no redirect chains.
Payments and checkout	Checkout runs on Weebly or Square payment processing.	Payments move to Shopify Payments or your provider app where it supports your country. Shipping and taxes are set up again in Shopify.

How we keep your SEO when moving from Weebly to Shopify

Weebly store URLs carry a p or c number and end in .html, while Shopify uses fixed prefixes such as /products/ and /collections/. So every indexed URL changes. Rankings hold when each old URL points to the right new one:

A full URL inventory. We pull every product, category, page and blog URL from your sitemap, a crawl and Google Search Console, including both the .html and plain forms of each page, since Weebly serves pages with or without .html (Weebly Support).
One to one 301 redirects. Each URL redirects to its exact Shopify equivalent. No mass redirects to the homepage.
Clean handles. The item number and .html are dropped and underscores become hyphens, so /store/p1/Pear_phone.html becomes /products/pear-phone.
Metadata kept. SEO titles, SEO descriptions, headings, alt text and descriptions move unchanged.
Post launch monitoring. We submit the new sitemap and watch Google Search Console for 404s and indexing issues after launch.

Typical Weebly URL patterns and where they go:

Weebly URL	Shopify URL	Notes
/store/p1/Pear_phone.html	/products/pear-phone	Default product URL: p and the item number, then the item name.
/store/p12/homemade-trail-mix.html	/products/homemade-trail-mix	Product with a custom permalink set in its SEO settings (Weebly Support).
/store/c3/Pear_phone.html	/collections/pear-phone	Category URL: c and the category number, then the category name.
/store/c1/Featured_Products.html	/collections/featured-products	Weebly’s default featured category becomes a featured collection.
/about-us.html and /about-us	/pages/about-us	Pages are named after the page or its permalink (Weebly Support). Both forms redirect.
/index.html	/	The Weebly home page address.
/blog/how-to-choose-honey	/blogs/news/how-to-choose-honey	Posts sit under the name of your blog page, here Blog.
/blog/category/recipes	/blogs/news/tagged/recipes	Blog categories become article tags, which filter the Shopify blog page (Shopify docs).
/blog/archives/08-2024	/blogs/news	Monthly archive pages have no Shopify equivalent and point to the blog.

Shopify URL redirects are 301 redirects, can be imported by CSV, and only fire when the old path returns a 404 on Shopify. Stores can hold up to 100,000 redirects, or 20,000,000 on Shopify Plus (Shopify Help Center). Square Online URL patterns, and any custom permalinks, are read from your own sitemap and crawl.

Step 01
Audit and URL inventory
We confirm whether you are on Weebly or Square Online, collect your item, order and contact exports, count items, options and posts, and list every URL. You receive a written migration plan.
Step 02
Data mapping
Options are mapped to variants, item types to products or apps, categories to collections and coupons to discount codes, signed off with you before any import.
Step 03
Store build and test migration
We build the Shopify theme, recover gallery images and blog posts from the live site, and run a full test import while your current store stays live.
Step 04
Redirects and SEO setup
The redirect map is loaded and every old URL, including .html and plain forms, is checked against the inventory.
Step 05
Launch and monitoring
We move orders and customers created since the test run, connect or transfer your domain, submit the sitemap and monitor Search Console after launch.

Order history	Years of orders take longer to import and verify than products and customers.

Weebly to Shopify migration FAQ

Can I migrate from Weebly to Shopify without losing SEO?

Yes, if every old URL gets a 301 redirect to its new Shopify URL and your SEO titles, descriptions, alt text and content stay the same. Shopify redirects are 301s and can be imported by CSV (Shopify Help Center). We map product, category, page and blog URLs one to one, in both their .html and plain forms.

Does the Shopify Store Migration app support Weebly?

No. Shopify’s Store Migration app lists Square, WooCommerce, Etsy, Wix, Amazon, eBay, Clover and Lightspeed as sources, not Weebly (Shopify App Store). Weebly data moves through its CSV exports, the Shopify API or a migration partner such as Ecomzier.

Weebly is shutting down in my country. What should I do first?

Download your data from Account Settings, My Data before December 26, 2026, when account access ends, and start your domain transfer from the Weebly dashboard (Weebly Support). Send us the download and we can plan the migration from it, even though the site is offline.

Can I migrate from Square Online to Shopify?

Yes. Square exports the item library as Excel or CSV (Square Support), and Shopify can import Square products and customers from CSV. Shopify sets each product to its highest location price and does not import inventory by location (Shopify Help Center), so we plan those before import.

Why are some of my product images missing from the Weebly export?

The image column in Weebly’s item CSV holds only the main image URL (Weebly Support). We collect the remaining gallery images from your live product pages and attach them to the right product and variant in Shopify.

Can I keep my Weebly order history?

Yes. Weebly exports orders as CSV or QuickBooks .iif (Weebly Support). Shopify admin does not import orders, so historical orders go in through a migration app or the API (Shopify Help Center), with line items, totals and dates.

Will customers need new passwords after the migration?

Passwords cannot be transferred. With Shopify new customer accounts, customers sign in with a six digit code sent to their email, so no password is needed (Shopify Help Center).

What happens to my Weebly blog?

The Weebly site archive does not include blog or store pages (Weebly Support), so we move each post from your published blog into Shopify with its text, images and date, then redirect every post and category URL.

Can I keep my domain name?

Yes. You can point your domain at Shopify or transfer it. Weebly gives you an EPP code once you turn off the registrar lock, and a domain cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration (Weebly Support).

How long does a Weebly to Shopify migration take?

Typical ranges run from 2 to 4 weeks for a small store to 8 to 14 weeks for a large store with memberships, custom code or integrations. Your audit sets the actual schedule.
