From Wix to Shopify: Why Itβs Time to Level Up Your Store
Expert Shopify tips, strategies, and best practices to help you build and grow a successful online store.
Wix might have helped you start. Shopify will for sure help you scale. If youβre here, youβre probably thinking about levelling up your online store β and yeah, this is your sign.
Letβs break down why thousands of smart creators, fashion founders, beauty brands, and full-blown business owners are jumping ship from Wix to Shopify. Spoiler: itβs not just about better design β itβs about building a brand that can grow without limits πΈ.
π Wix Was the Warm-Up
We get it β Wix feels like Canva for websites. Itβs fun, drag-and-drop, and gives you that βI built this myself!β moment. Perfect for launching your brand and getting those first few sales.
- βοΈ You hit limits fast.
- π You start needing real tools.
- π² You want to sell on TikTok, Insta, Pinterest or Amazon.
- π§Ύ You want checkouts that actually convert.
Enter: Shopify.
π₯ Why Shopify Is Built for Growth
1. Itβs Made to Sell
Shopify is built for commerce β from product pages to checkout. Everything is optimised to convert. Thatβs why brands like Glossier, SKIMS, and Kylie Cosmetics run on Shopify.
2. It Grows With You
Wix starts to creak as you grow. Shopify doesnβt flinch β whether you sell 1 product or 10,000.
3. TikTok + Insta + Amazon = π―
Shopify integrates natively with TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Amazon, eBay, YouTube, and more.
4. Apps That Actually Work
Shopify has over 8,000 apps β reviews, loyalty, subscriptions, bundles, AR β all ready to scale with you.
5. Checkouts That Donβt Suck
Fast, secure, trusted by millions. Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and local currency support built in.
π Real Brands on Shopify
Big brands, bigger conversions. These arenβt just eCommerce stores β theyβre movements, built on Shopify from day one.
Click to zoom. These brands didnβt get big and then switch to Shopify β they grew on it: SKIMS, Kylie Cosmetics, Glossier, Gymshark, Fashion Nova.
π§ Real Talk: Whatβs the Catch?
Shopify isnβt free β but neither is Wix if you want to remove ads or start selling. With Shopify, youβre not just paying for a site β youβre investing in serious business infrastructure.
Switching doesnβt mean starting over. You can:
- π¦ Import products, orders, and customers
- π Redesign for faster load + better conversion
- π² Connect Instagram, TikTok, Amazon, and more
